Unpacking Your Tool; Before Use - Triton T12RS Instrucciones De Uso Y De Seguridad

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its
features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any
parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting
to use this tool

Before Use

• The supplied battery pack has been shipped in a low-charge condition.
Charge the batteries before use
Battery charger operation
• The Battery Charger (13) and Battery (9) may become warm while
charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem
• Use the Battery Charger at normal room temperatures whenever possible.
To prevent overheating, do not cover the Battery Charger and do not charge
the Battery in direct sunlight or near sources of heat
If the battery does not charge properly:
• Check current at power outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance
• If charging problems persist, have the reciprocating saw, Battery (9) and
Battery Charger (13) checked by an electrician or a power tool technician
Charging the battery
1. Depress the Battery Release Grips (8) and remove the Battery (9) from
the tool
2. Insert the Battery into the Battery Charger (13). Do not use excessive force
when inserting the Battery. If it does not slide into place easily, it is not
being inserted correctly
3. Initially only the green LED may flash as it evaluates the status of the
Battery. When charging the red LED will illuminate and the green LED will
be OFF
4. When the Battery is fully charged the red LED will be OFF and the green
LED will illuminate
5. The Battery Charger will constantly monitor the condition of the Battery
when charging
6. Remove the Battery as soon as possible when completely charged
7. Disconnect the Battery Charger from the power supply and store in a clean,
dry environment out of the reach of children
• Normal battery charging time is approximately 1 hour for a recently fully
discharged battery at normal temperature. Charging times will vary outside
these conditions
• The battery does not need to be fully discharged before recharging but a
fully charged battery must not be charged
• You can interrupt charging at any point to use the Battery. Under normal
conditions the Battery Charger charges at a higher rate but reduces the
charging rate as the Battery becomes fully charged. An 80% charge is
achieved after 1/2hr of charging
3.0Ah High Capacity Battery (optional accessory)
• A high capacity battery is available that provides double the capacity. It
also allows the saw to stand vertically which may be advantageous for
some uses. Please note the full charging time will be approximately 2
hours for the high capacity battery

Note: If the lights on the Battery Charger fail to illuminate according to the
chart above or indicate a fault condition:
• Check the Battery is firmly seated in the Battery Charger
• Check all connections and that mains power is switched on
Initial charge
• The initial charge will vary depending on the existing charge in the Battery.
Allow the Battery to reach full charge as indicated on the Battery Charger
• After discharging, recharge the Battery completely, as indicated by the LED
on the Battery Charger, for the next 4 to 5 uses. This will ensure that the
Battery is performing to its highest capacity
• Subsequent full charges will take approximately 1 hour, however the
Battery can be recharged when the Battery is only partially discharged
Re-charging the battery
• After use, a li-ion battery must be allowed to cool down before charging
• If a hot battery is inserted into the charger both LEDs will illuminate. The
charger will begin to charge when the battery has cooled sufficiently (this
may take several minutes)
Installing the battery
• The Battery should fit easily into the Battery Charger. If the Battery is
difficult to fit, check the condition of the battery and contacts
Battery - length of service
• The length of service from each charging cycle will depend on the type of
workload. The Battery Charger and Battery for this tool have been designed
to provide a long trouble-free working life. The Battery Charger intelligently
monitors the condition of the Battery and selects the ideal charging rate
for the condition of the Battery. It protects the Battery from over-charging
or charging at too high a rate. However, like all batteries, performance will
be reduced over time
To maximise battery life:
• Store and charge the Battery in a cool area. Temperatures above or below
normal room temperature will reduce battery life
• Never store li-ion batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them
immediately after they are discharged. For storing long term, store fully
charged
• All batteries gradually lose their charge, even li-ion batteries, but the
discharge rate is very low. If the saw is stored for long periods of
time without use, recharge the battery every three to four months and
disconnect the battery from the power tool before it is stored. This practice
will prevent the li-ion battery being damaged when stored
