*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 confirm 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.
