Charging the battery (fig. A)
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.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 4 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
Using the 3 hour charger
To charge the battery (5), remove it from the tool and slide

the charger receptacle (9) onto the battery.
Plug in the charger (8).

The battery will become warm while charging. After approx.
3 hours of charging, the battery will be sufficiently charged for
use in regular applications. After approx. 6 hours of charging,
the battery will be fully charged.
Remove the charger receptacle from the battery.

Warning! Do not replace the charger unit with a regular mains
plug.
Using the 1 hour charger
To charge the battery (5), remove it from the tool and

insert it into the charger (8). The battery will only fit into
the charger in one way. Do not force. Be sure that the
battery is fully seated in the charger.
Plug in the charger.

Check if the charging indicator (10) is red. If the charging

indicator lights up is green, the battery is either fully
charged or 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 charging indicator (10)
will change colour from red to green. The battery is now fully
charged.
Remove the battery from the charger.
