NOTE
*1 If the red lamp continues to blink even after the charger
has been attached, check to confi rm that the battery has
been fully inserted.
*2 Battery overheated. Unable to charge.
Although charging will start once the battery has cooled
down even when left in situ, the best practice is to
remove the battery and allow it to cool down in a shaded,
well-ventilated location before charging.
*3 Malfunction in the battery or the charger
–
Fully insert the battery.
–
Check to confi rm that no foreign matter is stuck to
the battery mount or terminals. If there are no foreign
objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service
Center.
○ When the battery charger has been continuously used,
the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting
the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 5 minutes rest until the next charging.

NOTE
○ The recharging time may vary according to the ambient
temperature and power source voltage.
○ If charging takes a long time
–
Charging will take longer at extremely low ambient
temperatures. Charge the battery in a warm location
(such as indoors).
–
Do not block the air vent. Otherwise the interior will
overheat, reducing the charger's performance.
–
If the cooling fan is not operating, contact a HiKOKI
Authorized Service Center for repairs.
4. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle.
5. Hold the charger fi rmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use,
and then keep it.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries,
etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and
batteries that have not been used for an extended period
is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when
using them the fi rst and second time. This is a temporary
phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging
will be restored by recharging the batteries 2–3 times.
