When charging is completed, an internal
electronic switch will automatically be trig-
gered 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 be flashing
until the battery cools down.
Charging will then begin automatically.

once the battery is approximately 80%
charged.

lamp will start flashing quickly in green color.

less, charging takes longer to fully charge the
battery pack than the standard charging time.

have approximately 0% of the power of a
fully charged battery at normal operating tem-
perature.
7. If the power lamp does not light immediate-
ly after the charger is plugged in, or if after
the standard charging time the charging lamp
does not flash quickly in green, consult an
authorized dealer.

the charger again, the charging lamp lights
up. After several minutes, the charging lamp
may flash quickly to indicate the charging is
completed.
