BEFORE
USING
THE
EQUIPMENT
x
Remove any packing material and loose parts from unit.
x
Check the accessories before use. They should fit with the machine and your purpose.
x
If the battery is new it should be fully charged before use. Batteries are shipped with only a partial charge.
NOTE:
Extended
periods
of
storage
without
charge/discharge
cycles
will
reduce
the
battery
capacity.
A new battery or one which has not been used for an extended period achieves full performance only after charging
and discharging cycles. A substantial drop in operating period per charge indicates that the battery is worn out and
must be replaced.
USE
OF
BATTERY
CHARGER
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time and will not develop a “memory” when charged after only a
partial discharge. It is not necessary to run down the battery pack charge before recharging. Remove the battery pack
from the tool when convenient for you and your job. You can “top-off” your battery pack’s charge before starting a big
job or long period of use.
1.
Charging
the
battery
This lithium-ion battery pack is shipped partially charged. Before using it the first time, fully charge the battery pack.
A fully discharged battery pack with a temperature between 0
ć
and 40
ć
will charge in about 1 hour.
x
Plug the charger adapter into power source. The green light on the charger
stand will illuminate, indicating the charger is powered.
x
Slide the battery all the way into the charger until it locks in place with a
click. The red light on the charger will illuminate, indicating that the battery
is charging.
x
When charging is complete the red light will be replaced by a green light.
NOTE:
Batteries
may
become
warm
while
charging.
This
is
normal.
If
it
is
hot
after
continuous
use
in
the
tool,
allow
it
to
cool
down
to
room
temperature
before
charging.
This
will
extend
the
life
of
your
batteries.
