Charging
Cautions
• If the temperature of the battery pack
falls approximately below −10°C
(14°F), charging will automatically stop
to prevent degradation of the battery.
• The ambient temperature range is be-
tween 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
If the battery pack is used when the
battery temperature is below 0°C
(32°F), the tool may fail to function
properly.
• When charging a cool battery pack
(below 0°C (32°F)) in a warm place,
leave the battery pack at the place
and wait for more than one hour to
warm up the battery to the level of the
ambient temperature.
• Cool down the charger when charg-
ing more than two battery packs con-
secutively.
• Do not insert your fingers into contact
hole, when holding charger or any
other occasions.
To prevent the risk of fi re or damage
to the battery charger.
• Do not use power source from an
engine generator.
• Do not cover vent holes on the
charger and the battery pack.
• Unplug the charger when not in use.

Li-ion Battery Pack

NOTE:
Your battery pack is not fully charged
at the time of purchase. Be sure to
charge the battery before use.
Battery charger
1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.
2. Insert the battery pack firmly into the
charger.
1. Line up the alignment marks and
place the battery onto the dock on the
charger.
2. Slide forward in the direction of the
arrow.
3. During charging, the charging lamp will
be lit.
When charging is completed, an internal
electronic switch will automatically be
triggered to prevent overcharging.
• Charging will not start if the battery
pack is warm (for example, immedi-
ately after heavy-duty operation). The
orange standby lamp will be flashing
until the battery cools down. Charg-
ing will then begin automatically.
4. The charge lamp (green) will flash
slowly once the battery is approximately
80% charged.
5. When charging is completed, the
charging lamp in green color will turn off.
6. If the temperature of the battery pack
is 0°C or less, charging takes longer to
fully charge the battery pack than the
standard charging time.
Even when the battery is fully charged,
it will have approximately 50% of the
power of a fully charged battery at
normal operating temperature.
7. Consult an authorized dealer if the
charging lamp (green) does not turn off.

into the charger again, the charging
lamp lights up. After several minutes,
