Safety Instructions and Accident Prevention

WARNING! When using battery-driven tools basic safety precautions are to be taken, including the following, in order to reduce the risk of fire, batteries leaking and persons becoming injured.

Before operating the machine, please read through the operating instructions completely, follow the Safety Instructions in this manual as well as the general Safety Instructions for Power Tools in the accompanying booklet.

Important instructions, which should be read before starting operation, and which we strongly recommend observing:

• For charging the batteries, only use a charger which is recommended by the manufacturer and never use the recommended charger to charge other electrical equipment.
• Do not use any defective or deformed batteries.
• Any machines and batteries that are not being used should be kept separately in a dry place that is high up or locked, out of the reach of children. For safety's sake, a battery charger connected to the mains should also be permanently supervised.
• Do not expose the machine, battery and battery charger to rain. Do not use the machines in a wet or damp environment.
• Always keep the battery and battery charger clean and dry.
• Do not open the battery and protect from impact.

• Protect the battery from heat and fire: Danger of explosion! Do not place the battery on radiators or expose to strong sun rays for a longer time; temperatures over 50^ cause damage.

• In extreme conditions battery fluid can leak out. This does not mean it is defective. If in such a case the casing is no longer sealed and battery fluid comes into contact with the skin, proceed as follows:

• Wash affected skin immediately with soap and water.
• Neutralise the battery fluid with vinegar or lemon juice.
• If the eyes are affected, rinse with clear water with at least 10 minutes. Consult a doctor immediately!
• Before connecting the charger to the mains, please check that the voltage of your mains connection corresponds to the voltage stated on the nameplate of the charger.
• Always inspect the plug and cable before use. If damaged, they must be replaced by a qualified professional.
• Caution - High voltage: Do not open the battery charger!
• Ensure that the connection between the battery charger and battery is correctly positioned and is not obstructed by foreign bodies.
• Keep battery charger slot free of foreign objects and protect against dirt and humidity. Store in a dry and frost-free place.
• When the battery is outside the battery charger, cover battery terminals to avoid short circuits from metal objects. Danger of fire or explosion results when shorted by a metal object!
• Do not charge batteries of other manufacturers. Only use genuine Kress accessories.
• Observe notes on environmental protection.

3 Charging the batteries

Important!

Only use this device to charge batteries that have been recommended for the device by the manufacturer.

The rated voltage of the battery must agree with the value on the machine.

• The batteries are not charged. They therefore have to be charged before use.
• A new battery develops full power only after it has been subjected to approx. 5 charging and discharging cycles.
• The maximum service life of the batteries is attained if you charge these at an ambient temperature of between +5^ and max. +45^ .
• If the battery is not within the permitted loading temperature range (approx. +5^ and +45^ ) charging time is extended by the cooling or warm-up time.
• Important! Batteries will discharge even if the tool is not used. They should therefore be re-charged regularly.

Or better still - connect the battery to the mains charger which will automatically switch to maintenance charging after the battery has been fully charged. This is particularly useful for maintenance and for the optimal operational readiness of the batteries.

• Do not leave the battery in the charger if the latter is not in operating condition.

If the batteries cannot be charged correctly:

1. Make sure the socket is providing voltage.
2. Make sure the charging points provide good contact.
3. Should charging still not be possible, please send the battery and battery charger to our nearest service centre.

Notes for the correct use of the battery:

• To ensure long service life, the batteries should always be charged in good time. This is particularly important if you notice a reduction in power output.
• To obtain the maximum service life, do not recharge the battery immediately after a short period of use but, if possible, discharge to the lower capacity limit and then recharge.
• Avoid to the extent possible the blocking of the machine. The resulting excessive current flow leads to quick discharging and increased wear of the battery.
• An increasingly shorter operating time per recharging of the battery is an indication that the battery is worn out and must be replaced.

Do not carry out any repair on the charger yourself!

As a basic rule, return the faulty machine to our next customer service centre (also in the case of defective mains cables)!

4 Battery charging unit Type: MSL 60

Use as Intended

The device is only designed for charging Kress NiCd batteries with voltages between 12 V and 13.2 V.

The application possibilities for the battery charger can be found in the tabulated overview at the end of these operating instructions.

Putting into Operation

Remove the battery from the device as described in the pertaining operating instructions. Re-assemble in the reverse sequence. Insert the battery into the battery charger as far as it will go.

Charging Procedure

The charging process begins as soon as the mains plug is inserted into the power supply socket and the battery is placed into battery charger slot.

The "intelligent" battery charger recognises the charged condition of the battery and switches a fully charged battery immediately to trickle charging. By means of this charging process, the battery is protected and always fully charged.

Rapid charging is only possible when the temperature of the battery is between +5^ and +45^ .

The charging unit it suitable for continuous operation.

Display and Key

Blinking green indicator light: The battery has contact; charging is in progress (max. 60 minutes).

Constant green indicator light: The battery is charged; the charger has switched to maintaining charge.

Constant red light: The battery is not connected or too warm. Remove the battery from the charger and reconnect or allow to cool off to room temperature, then recommence charging.

Blinking red ligh: The battery is defective or there is a short between the charging contacts.

• Remove the battery from the battery charger.
• Pull out the mains plug!
• Check the charging slot for foreign bodies.
