• depending on the model Before commissioning, check that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency stated on the type plate match your power supply. Devices like these that generate direct current can influence simple earth leakage protection devices. Use a type F or better, with a release current of max. 30 mA. Before commissioning the charger, ensure that the air slots are free. Minimum distance to other objects is 5 cm!

Plug in. The warning display (4) and the operating indicator (3) light up one after the other for approx. 1 second and the installed fan runs for approx. 5 seconds.

7.1 Charging battery pack

Push the battery pack completely to the stop on the sliding seat (2). The operating indicator (3) flashes. Note: To have the charge level displayed on Li-ion battery packs, first take the battery pack out of the charger and then press the button on the battery pack.

7.2 Conservation charge

Once the charging process has finished, the battery charger automatically switches to conservation mode. The battery pack can remain in the battery charger and is therefore always ready for use. The operating display (3) lights up continuously.
