efore plugging in, check to see that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as specified on the rating label, match your power supply. Devices such as this one, which generate direct current, may have an effect on basic residual- current circuit breakers. Use type F or better, with a release current of max. 30 mA.

efore commissioning the charger, ensure that the air slots are free. Minimum distance to other objects is 5 cm.

Insert mains supply plug. 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.

5.2 Mounting to a wall

If the charger is to be mounted to a wall, it must be suited to safely carry the weight of the charger including battery pack (approx. 25 kg in total). Use appropriate fixing material (e.g.: 4x dowels 8 mm, 4 x screws 5 x 60 mm).

6.1 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 (with 14.4 V, 18 V and 36 V), first take the battery pack out of the charger and then press the button on the battery pack.

6.2 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.
