For your safety.
Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
WARNING
tions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Do not use this battery charger before you have
thoroughly read and completely understood this
Instruction Manual. The documents mentioned
should be kept for later use and enclosed with the bat-
tery charger, should it be passed on or sold.
Please also observe the relevant national industrial safety
regulations.
Special safety instructions.
Keep the battery charger away from rain or moisture. The
penetration of water into an electrical device increases
the risk of an electric shock.
Do not operate the battery charger on easily inflammable
surfaces or in combustible environments. The heating of
the battery charger during the charging process can pose
a fire hazard.
This device is not intended to be used by persons (including
children) with limited physical, sensory or mental capabili-
ties, or lack of experience and/or knowledge, except if
being supervised by a person responsible for their safety or
having received instructions from this person on how to
operate the device.
Provide for sufficient ventilation during operation. Do not
operate the battery charger in enclosed cabinets or in close
vicinity to heat sources. Ambient temperatures in excess
of +45 °C can lead to malfunctions.
Do not charge other batteries. The battery charger is suita-
ble only for charging original FEIN batteries with the volt-
ages listed in the technical data. Otherwise there is
danger of fire and explosion.
Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries. Otherwise
there is danger of fire and explosion.
Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can lead to
danger of an electric shock.
Before each use, check the battery charger, cable and plug.
If damage is detected, do not use the battery charger. Never
open the battery charger yourself, and have repairs carried
out only by FEIN or an authorized FEIN service agent. Dam-
aged battery chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk
of an electric shock.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medi-
cal help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause skin
irritations or burns.
Vapours can escape in case of damage and improper use of
the battery. Provide for fresh air and seek medical attention
in case of complaints. The vapours can irritate the respi-
ratory system.
Remove the battery from the charger and pull the mains
plug when not using for extended periods. Saving energy
helps to save the environment.

Cover off the contacts of the battery when storing outside
of the battery charger. In case of short-circuiting by metal-
lic bridging, there is danger of fire and explosion!
When cleaning the battery charger, pull the mains plug out
of the socket. There is danger of electric shock.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the bat-
tery charger. If the insulation is damaged, protection
against an electric shock will be ineffective. Adhesive
labels are recommended.
Intended use of the battery charger:
Battery charger for charging and re-charging FEIN batter-
ies with battery voltages between 6.0–25.2 V.
Operating instructions.
Connect the battery charger to the socket outlet without
a battery inserted. The yellow LED indicator lights up and
signals operational readiness.
Insert the battery.
The monitoring of the charge procedure is signalled by a
flashing green light.
The end of the charge procedure is indicated by contin-
uous green lighting.
The rapid charging starts automatically as soon as the bat-
tery temperature is within the charge-temperature range
of 0 °C to 45 °C.
In case of an extremely deep discharged battery, the
charging procedure may not start until after a delay of
several minutes after sliding on the battery.
When the battery is charged, the battery charger auto-
matically switches from rapid charging to trickle charging;
the green indicator lights up. Repeated inserting of a
charged battery leads to overcharging and affects the
service life of the battery.
New batteries that have not been formatted yet, or deep
discharged batteries that need to be re-formatted, will
not achieve their full capacity until after 3–5 charging and
discharging cycles.
If the battery becomes discharged within a short time
despite being charged correctly, it has reached the end of
its service life.
ALG40: The attachment (9 26 04 103 01 0) is a spare part.
Fasten the attachment only with the original screws pro-
vided.
