BATTERY TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
This charger has a battery temperature protection
feature. When the charger detects a battery pack
that is too hot or cold (the light will be red and flash),
it automatically activates the protection circuit, and
suspends charging until the battery pack has reached
the correct temperature. The charging process will then
automatically begin (the light will be green and flash).
This feature ensures maximum battery life.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
If a fully charged battery pack is left in the charger, the
Light will remain green. The battery pack will remain
charging with a maintenance trickle current.
DEFECTIVE BATTERY PACKS
This charger will detect a defective battery pack. When
a defective battery pack is inserted into the charger, the
charger will try to repair it. This process will last about
30mins (the light will be green and flash). If the repair is
successful, the charger will automatically begin to charge
the battery pack to the highest capacity possible (the
light will be green and flash). If the light becomes solid
red, the battery pack is dead.
NOTE: Repaired battery packs are still usable but should
not be expected to perform as much work as new battery
packs.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES:
1.
For a new battery or a battery that has been in
storage for sometime, please recharge the battery
before use. If you want to store the battery for a long
time, please fully charge the battery pack to ensure
maximum battery life.
2.
Longer life and better performance can be
obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air
temperature is between (18°-24° C). Do not charge
the battery pack in air temperatures below 0° C,
or above 40° C. This is important as it can prevent
serious damage to the battery pack.
3.
Never freeze your charger or immerse charger in
water or any other liquid.
4.
When the battery pack fails to produce sufficient
power on jobs that were previously done easily,
please recharge your battery, do not continue to use
under this condition. You may charge a partially used
pack whenever you desire with no adverse affect on
the battery pack.
5.
When charging it is normal that the charger and

battery pack may become warm to touch.
6.
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a.
Check current at power outlet by plugging in another
appliance.
b.
Plug and unplug to check whether the charger is ok
c.
Check whether the battery has been damaged
d.
Move the charger and battery pack to a location
where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 18°-24°C.
e.
If the charging problem persists, take the tool,
battery pack and charger to an authorized service
center.
f.
Under certain conditions, when the charger is
plugged into the power supply, the exposed
charging contacts inside the charger can be
shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a
conductive nature such as metallic particles should
be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug
the charger from the power supply when there is no
battery pack in the charger or before attempting to
clean.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
I CANNOT FIT THE BATTERY INTO THE BATTERY
CHARGER. WHY?
a)
Check if the charger and the battery pack are
specifically designed for working together.
b)
The battery can be inserted into the charger only in
one direction. Turn the battery around until it can be
inserted into the slot, the indicator light should be
green and flash when the battery is charging.
REASONS FOR DIFFERENT CHARGING TIMES
The charging time can be affected by many reasons
which are not defects in your product.
a)
If the battery pack is only partly discharged it may be
re-charged in less than rated charging time.
b)
If the battery pack and ambient temperature are very
cold/ hot, it may take longer to re-charge. Please
find an appropriate environment with proper air
temperature to start charging.
c)
If the battery pack is very hot, remove battery pack
from the charger and allow battery pack to cool first
to ambient temperature and then recharging can be
started.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Your battery charger requires no additional lubrication
or maintenance. Never use water or chemical cleaners to
clean your charger. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always
store your charger in a dry place.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
