shock. If extension cord must be used,
make sure that:
a. pins on plug of extension cord are
the same number, size and shape

cord or plug — replace them
immediately.
9) Do not operate charger if it has received
a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way; take it
to a qualified personnel.
10) Do not disassemble charger; take it to
a qualified personnel when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly
may result in a risk of electric shock or
fire.
11) To reduce the risk of electric shock,
unplug charger from outlet before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
12) The charger and battery pack are
specifically designed to work together.
Do not attempt to charge any other
cordless tool or battery pack with this
charger.
13) Do not attempt to charge the battery

which can lead to deterioration of the
storage battery.
16) Do not charge battery pack when the

still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
CHARGING THE
BATTERY II .
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 too warm (for example,
immediately after heavy-duty operation).
The charging lamp will be red flashing
until the battery cools down. Charging
will then begin automatically.
4. When charging is completed, the charging
lamp will start flashing quickly.
5. If the charging lamp does not light
immediately after the charger is plugged
in, or if after the standard charging time
the lamp does not go off, consult an
authorized dealer.
