7.2 Charging Procedure
The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug of the charger is plugged into a
power socket and the battery (14) is inserted into the charging compartment (13).
Thanks to the intelligent charging PCB (Protective circuit board), the charging condition of the
battery is automatically detected and the battery is charged in optimum condition.
(PCB takes into account : Over Charging/Discharging, Voltage and Current, Battery
temperature, Short-Circuit, Overload, Each Cell Unbalance (Out-put, In-put), resulting in
continuous optimum Voltage & Current when Charging or Working.
This gives longer life to the battery and always leaves it fully charged when kept in the charger
for storage.
Charge battery pack only with the charger provided.
Please note:
 With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles without interruption, the charger can
warm up. This is not harmful and does not indicate a technical defect of the unit.
 A battery that is new or has not been used for a longer period does not develop its full
capacity until after approximately 5 charging/discharging cycles. Leave such batteries in
the charging compartment until they have clearly warmed up.
 A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the batteries are worn
out and must be replaced.
7.3 Charging
Attention! Only use battery charger in dry places.
Before first use, the battery needs to be charged for about 1,2 hours. Use only the original
charger.
 Remove the battery from the device .
 Insert the battery into the charger .
 Connect the charger to the mains voltage (LED lights up green).
7.3.1 Notes on charger :
 LED 9 lights up red: Battery is charging
 LED 10 lights up green: Charging completed
 LED 9 links red: Fault (e.g., battery is too hot)
Self-discharge of batteries! Remove the battery from the charger once it is
fully charged.
7.4 General instructions:
Regarding the battery, in order to maintain the long service life of the battery, always follow the
instructions below:
 The tool will automatically be switched off when the battery voltage is low. The battery
must then be recharged before the tool can be used again.
 Always recharge the lithium-ion battery prior to any prolonged period of non-use, i.e.
before storing the tool away in autumn.
 The charging time is 1,2 hours for a battery that is completely empty.
 The lithium-ion rechargeable battery can be charged at any charge level and charging can
be interrupted at any time without damaging the battery (no memory effect)
