Preparation
Battery charge
1. Connect the charger plug to a 127 V~ electrical outlet. (The green
light on the charge indicator will turn on.)
2. Insert the battery into the charger by sliding it as shown. The green
light will turn off, and the red light should turn on, indicating that the
charging has started.
3. When the battery is fully charged, the green light will turn on, and
the red light will turn off.
4. Disconnect the charger from the power source once the charging
is complete.
Battery failures
• If the red light is flashing, it indicates that the battery is experiencing a delay due to overheating. Wait until the battery
temperature is within the appropriate range before attempting to charge.
• If the red light remains on beyond the recommended charging time or If the battery indicator lights do not turn on after
inserting the battery into the charger, it indicates that the battery is defective. Replace the battery or contact an Authorized
Service Center.
Important considerations
about charging
• You can achieve longer battery life and better performance
by charging the battery unit at an ambient temperature
between 41 °F (5°C) and 113 °F (45°C). Allow a heated
battery cartridge to cool before charging.
• The charger and battery unit may experience slight heating
during the charging process. This is normal and poses no
problem. To facilitate battery unit cooling after use, avoid
placing the charger or battery unit in a warm location, such
as a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.
• The battery unit should be recharged when it is unable to
produce sufficient power for tasks that were easily
performed before. DO NOT CONTINUE to use it under
these circumstances. Follow the charging procedure.
• The best storage location is a cool and dry place, away
from direct sunlight and excessive heat or cold.
• For optimal results during extended storage periods, it is
recommended to store the fully charged battery unit in a
cool and dry place outside of the charger.
Tool/battery protection system
CAUTION
• The tool is equipped with a system that automatically stops the
tool to prolong both its lifespan and that of the batteries. This occurs in the
following cases:
Overload: When the tool is forced, the battery consumes abnormally high current
levels. Suspend the strenuous work and turn on the tool again.
Overheating: Let the tool and battery cool down before turning it on again.
Over-discharge: The battery level is not sufficient. In this case, remove the
battery from the tool and charge it.

Batteries
• Open the clamp lever and align the protruding parts
inside the protective guard. Push the protective guard
downward until the protruding parts engage and rotate
freely with the corresponding slots on the shaft cover.
• With the clamp lever open, rotate the protective guard
to the desired working position.
• Press the lock (A) and slide the battery outward to
remove it.
