When you charge the battery pack
for the first time, or after prolonged

hours to bring the battery up to full
capacity.
How to charge
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.

4. During charging, the charging lamp
will be lit.
When charging is completed, an inter-
nal electronic switch will automatically
be triggered to prevent overcharging.
• Charging will not start if the battery
pack is warm (for example, immedi-
ately after heavy-duty operation).
The orange standby lamp will be
flashing until the battery cools down.
Charging will then begin automati-
cally.

slowly once the battery is approxi-
mately 80% charged. (Li-ion Battery
Only)
6. When charging is completed, the
charging lamp in green color will turn
off.
7. If the temperature of the battery pack
is 0°C or less, charging takes longer
to fully charge the battery pack than
the standard charging time.
Even when the battery is fully charg-
ed, it will have approximately 50% of
the power of a fully charged battery at
normal operating temperature.

charging lamp (green) does not turn
off.

inserted into the charger again, the
