Daewoo 40V LITHIUM-ION batteries are designed with features that protect the LITHIUM-ION cells
and maximize battery life. If the tool stops during use, the following may be the causes:
a. The maximum current draw of the battery has been exceeded, causing it to automatically stop
powering the tool. Release the trigger to reset the tool and pull the trigger to resume operation.
b. Excessive temperatures will cause the battery to stop powering the tool. Feel the battery pack, If
it is too warm, allow it to cool down.
If the tool still dose not work, recharge the battery.
NOTE: The battery pack indicator LED will not work if the battery protection feature has caused the
battery pack to stop powering the tool. Release the tool trigger or remove the battery pack from the
tool and the battery pack LED indicator will resume normal function.
5.3 Charging the battery pack
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you
should charge them until the green LED on the front of the charger comes on.
If the charger does not charge the battery pack under normal circumstance, return both the battery
pack and charger to your nearest Authorised Service Center for electrical check.
5.4 To charge
• Use battery pack only with the recommended charger.
• Connect the charger to the power supply. Make sure the power supply is normal household volta-
ge, 220-240volts,AC only, 50Hz.
• Make sure the latch of the battery pack snap into place and the battery pack is secured in the
charger before beginning operation.
• Slide the battery pack along the groove of the charger.
• Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on the battery pack engage properly with
contacts in the charger.
• Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of extreme heat or cold. They will work best
at normal room temperature.
• NOTE: The charger and battery pack should be placed in a location where the temperature is more
than -5° but less than 55°.
• The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does
not indicate a problem.
• After charging is complete, the charge green LED will remain on until either the battery pack has
been removed from the charger or the charger has been removed from the power supply.
• When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger from the power supply and remove the
battery pack.
• To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress the latch of the battery pack.

If the battery pack is above normal temperature range, the green LED will begin flashing and the red
LED will be on. When the battery pack cools down to approximately 50°C the charger will automati-
cally begin normal charge.
5.6 Charging a cool battery pack
If the battery pack is below normal temperature range, the green LED will begin flashing and the red
LED will be on. When the battery warms to a temperature of more than 0°C the charger will automa-
tically begin normal charge.
