Use
Charging the battery
The battery needs to be charged before
first use and whenever it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs that were easily
done before. When charging the battery
for the first time, or after prolonged
storage, it will only accept an 80%
charge. After several charge and
discharge cycles, the battery will attain
full capacity. The battery may become
warm while charging; this is normal and
does not indicate a problem.
Do not charge the battery at
ambient temperatures below
4 °C or above 40 °C.
Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.

Slide the charger receptacle (6) onto

The battery will become warm while
charging. After approx. 3 hours of
charging, the battery will be fully charged.

the battery.

force. Be sure that the battery is fully
seated in the charger.
Plug in the charger.
Switch on at the mains.
Check if the red charging indicator
(9) lights up. If the green end of
charge indicator (10) lights up now
instead, the battery is too hot and
cannot be charged. If this happens,
remove the battery from the charger,
let the battery cool down for approx.
1 hour and re-insert it.
After approx. 1 hour of charging, the red
charging indicator (9) will stop lighting
