Charging
NOTE:
When you charge the battery pack
for the first time, or after prolonged
storage, charge it for about 24 hours
to bring the battery up to full capacity.

1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.
NOTE:
Sparks may be produced when the
plug is inserted into the AC power
supply, but this is not a problem in
terms of safety.
2. Insert the battery pack firmly into the
charger.

3. During charging, the charging lamp will
be lit.
When charging is completed, an internal
electronic switch will automatically be
triggered to prevent overcharging.
• Charging will not start if the battery
pack is warm (for example, immediately
after heavy-duty operation).
The orange standby lamp will remain
on until the battery cools down.
Charging will then begin automatically.
4. When charging is completed, the green
charging lamp will start flashing quickly.
5. If the battery pack is too cool, or the
battery pack has not been used for a
long time, the charging lamp will light up.
In this case it takes longer than normal
to fully charge the battery pack.
• If a fully charged battery pack is
inserted into the charger again, the
charging lamp lights up. After several
minutes, the charging lamp may flash
quickly to indicate that charging is
completed.
6.
If the charging lamp does not light
immediately after the charger is plugged
in, or if, after the standard charging time
passes, the lamp does not go off, consult
an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
• When charging a cool battery pack
(below 5°C (41°F)) in a warm place,
leave the battery pack in the place
and wait for more than one hour to
allow the battery to reach the ambient
temperature. Otherwise battery pack
may not fully charge.
• Allow the charger to cool down when
charging more than two battery packs
consecutively.
• Do not insert your fingers into contact
hole when holding charger or at any
other time.
CAUTION:
To prevent fire or damage to the
battery charger:
• Do not use an engine generator as a
power source.
• Do not cover vent holes on the
charger and the battery pack.
• Unplug the charger when not in use.
