Charging the Battery
WARNING: Failure to follow the correct procedure when charging
batteries will result in permanent damage.
Note: Normal charging time is 1 hour for a recently fully-discharged battery,
but if the Battery has been left in a discharged state for some time, it may
take extended time to charge.
1. Slide a discharged or partially discharged Battery (1) onto
the battery charger
Note: Make sure the Battery and battery charger are lined
up correctly. If the Battery does not slide onto the battery
charger easily, don't force it. Instead, remove the Battery,
then check that the top of the Battery and the battery
charger slot are clean and undamaged and that the charger
terminals are not bent.
2. Once charging commences, only the Red LED will illuminate
Note: If the Red LED is not constantly illuminated after an
uncharged Battery is inserted into the charger, the Battery
or charger may be faulty. Recheck the Battery is fully
inserted in the battery charger. If the fault persists do not
use and contact your authorised Silverline distributer.
3. When the Battery is fully-charged, only the Green LED will
be illuminated
Battery Charge Level
The Battery (1) has a built-in Battery Charge Indicator (4). Pressing on the
button to the right will indicate the charge level. The number of bars that
illuminate when the button is pressed indicate the charge level; 1 bar
indicating a low charge, 3 bars indicating a full charge.
IMPORTANT: When a low charge level is indicated, be aware the tool may
stop operating while in use. This may be dangerous. It is recommended to
always ensure the Battery has a good charge level.
Notes about battery charging
• The Battery should be charged at ambient temperatures
between 10°C and 40°C (ideally around 20°C)
• After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool
before use
• Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains
supply after use, and is stored correctly
•
DO NOT leave batteries on charge for extended periods and
never store batteries on charge
•
The battery charger monitors battery temperature and
voltage while charging. Remove the Battery once charging
has been completed to maximise charge cycles of the
battery and not waste power
•
Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in
the battery can fail, and the battery could short. The
charger will not charge faulty batteries. Use another
battery, if possible, to check correct functionality of the
charger and purchase a replacement battery if a faulty
battery is indicated
•
DO NOT store Lithium-ion battery packs in a discharged
state long term. This can damage the Lithium-ion cells. For
long-term storage, store batteries in a high charge state
disconnected from the power tool
• The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100
charge cycles, the battery's operation time and the
performance will slightly reduce. This decline will continue
until the battery has minimal capacity after 500 charge
cycles. This is normal and not a fault with the battery pack
Operation
Removing the Battery
•
To remove the Battery (1), press the Battery Release (2) and
slide the Battery off the tool
IMPORTANT: DO NOT try to remove the Battery without pressing the
Battery Release button. The tool or Battery could be damaged.
Fitting a Battery
1. To fit a charged Battery (1), slide it onto the tool's battery mount
Note: The Battery will fit only in one direction, which is determined
by its shape and the design of the battery mount. However, if the
Battery does not slide into the battery mount easily, do not force it.
Instead, pull the Battery out of the battery mount again, check for
correct position, and try again gently.
2. Push the Battery into the battery mount until it locks into place
securely
Maintenance
General inspection
•
Regularly check the condition of the Battery (1) for cracks
and other defects.
• Inspect the Battery contacts, prior to each use, for damage
or wear. Repairs should be carried out by an authorised
Silverline service centre. This advice also applies to the
charger and tool used with this product
Cleaning
• Keep your battery clean at all times. Dirt and dust will
shorten the battery's service life. Clean the body of your
battery with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use
clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the battery
contacts
•
Clean the battery casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild
detergent, taking care not to get any moisture on the
battery contacts. Do not use alcohol, petrol or strong
cleaning agents
•
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
Storage
• Store this product carefully in a secure, dry place out of the
reach of children
Disposal
Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that
are no longer functional and are not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, batteries or other waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), with household
waste
•
Li-ion batteries should not be disposed of with household
waste. If you do not know of a li-ion battery recycling centre
in your area, contact your local authority or original dealer
for advice on disposal of li-ion batteries
