• If the pack is left in the charger after the initial
1-hour charge, the charger will automatically
initiate the refresh mode.
This mode will continue up to 8 hours, but the
battery pack can be removed at any time during
the refresh mode.
Inserting and removing the battery pack (fig. A)
• Insert the battery pack into the corresponding
slot in the tool until it clicks in place. You may
need to use some force to fully engage the
spring-loaded mechanism.
• To remove the battery pack, press the two
release buttons (10) simultaneously. The spring-
loaded mechanism will push the battery pack off
the tool.
We recommend to insert the battery pack into the
charger directly after removing it from the tool.
Battery cap (fig. B)
A protective cap is supplied to cover the contacts of
a detached battery pack. Without the protective cap
in place, loose metal objects could short circuit the
contacts, causing a fire hazard and damaging the
battery pack.
• Take off the protective cap (14) before placing
the battery pack (11) in the charger or tool.
• Place the protective cap over the contacts
immediately after removing the battery pack from
the charger or tool.
Make sure the protective cap is in place
before storing or carrying a detached
battery pack.
The charger is equipped with an internal fan for rapid
cooling of battery packs. The fan will be
automatically switched on when required. The fan
will also be switched on periodically when there is no
battery in the charger in order to blow dust from the
fan vents.
Always wear safety glasses when
plugging in the charger.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or
too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has
reached an appropriate temperature.
The charger then automatically switches to the pack
charging mode. This feature ensures maximum
battery life. The red indicator blinks long, then short
while in the Hot/Cold Pack Delay mode.
