sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise dam- aged in any way; take it to a qualified service agent.

10) Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qual-

ified service agent when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

11) To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug

12) Make sure cord is located so that it will not be

stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise sub- jected to damage or stress.

13) The charger and battery pack are specifically

designed to work together. Do not attempt to charge any other cordless tool or battery pack with this charger. Do not attempt to charge the battery pack with any other charger.

14) Do not attempt to disassemble the battery

charger and the battery pack housing.

15) Do not store the tool and battery pack in loca-

tions where the temperature may reach or exceed 50°C (122°F) (such as metal tool shed, or a car in the summer), which can lead to deterioration of the storage battery.

20) Charge the battery pack in a well ventilated

place. Do not cover the charger and battery pack with a cloth, etc., while charging.

21) Do not short the battery pack. A battery short

can cause a large current flow, over heating and burns.

EY0225.BOOK Page 3 Saturday, June 18, 2005 1:16 PM— 4 — CHARGING THE BATTERY Note: When you charge the battery pack for the first-time, or after prolonged storage, charge it for about 24 hours to bring the batteries up to full capacity.

1. Plug the charger into an AC outlet.

• Sparks may be produced when the plug is inserted into the AC power supply, but this is not a problem in terms of safety.

2. Insert the battery pack firmly into the charger.

(* EY0230 is referred for illustration.) EY0214:

• When charging, cooling fan in the charger functions to cool down the battery pack, and the sound of fan can be heard. This is nor- mal. If this sound cannot be heard, it is a malfunction. Stop charging immediately and consult an authorized dealer.

3. During charging, the charging lamp will light

up. When the charge is completed, an internal electronic switch will automatically be trig- gered to prevent overcharging.

• Charging will not occur if the battery pack is warm (for example, immediately after heavy-duty operation). The orange standby lamp will light up until the battery becomes cool. Charging will then begin automatically.

4. When charging is completed, the charging

lamp will start flashing quickly. EY0230/EY0214:

• When the battery pack has not been used for a long time, the charging lamp starts flashing slowly to indicate protective charg- ing. Protective charging takes longer to fully charge the battery pack, then the standard charging time. (Max. charging time is approx. 90 minutes.)

5. If a fully charged battery pack is inserted into

the charger again, the charging lamp may light up. After several minutes, the charging lamp may flash quickly to indicate the charging is completed.

• If the charging lamp does not light immedi- ately after the charger is plugged in, or if after the standard charging time the lamp does not go off, consult an authorized dealer. Note: • When a cold battery (of about 5°C or less) is to be charged in a warm room, leave the battery in the room for at least one hour. Charge the battery when the battery temperature has leveled with room temperature. (Failing to do so may result in less than a full charge.)

• Cool down the charger when charging more than two battery packs consecu- tively.

• Do not insert your fingers into contact hole, when holding charger or any other occasions. CAUTION: • Do not use power source from an engine generator.

• Do not cover vent holes on the charger and the battery pack.

Unplug the charger when not in use.
