4. Operation

4.1 Charging the battery (Fig. 2)

The battery charger can be used to charge a maximum of four rechargeable batteries. By charging independently you can also charge different batteries (e.g.: 2.0 Ah; 4.0 Ah; 3.0 Ah and 5.2 Ah) for the charging times stated on the charger. However, it is always the case that a maximum of only two rechargeable batteries can be charged simultaneously.

1. Pull the battery pack (a) out of the equipment, pressing the pushlock button (b) to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (1) into the socket outlet. The green LEDs will then begin to flash.
3. Insert the battery pack or packs (a) into the battery charger (1).
4. In section 7 „Charger indicator“ you will find a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.

If the battery fails to charge, please check
• whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
• whether there is good contact at the charging contacts of the charging unit

If the battery still fails to charge, send

• the charging unit

• and the rechargeable battery

to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.

When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res.

To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

4.2 Charging four rechargeable batteries (Fig. 3)

When four batteries are inserted, only two opposite lying batteries (parallel or diagonal) will be charged. See Fig. 3.

When this pair of batteries has been fully charged, the charging of the other pair of batteries will start.

Which pair is charged first is indicated by the yellow LEDs and is dependent on the order in which they are inserted.

When the yellow LED fl ashes, the rechargeable battery/pair of rechargeable batteries is in the queue.

When the yellow LED is lit up, the rechargeable battery/pair of rechargeable batteries will be charged in accordance with the red and green LEDs in section 7 entitled “Charger indicator”.

4.3 Charging two rechargeable batteries simultaneously (Figs. 4-6)

If you only want to charge two rechargeable batteries simultaneously, you can only do so if there is one rechargeable battery on each side, as shown

GB

in Fig. 4, 5 and 6. In other words, diagonal or opposite to each other.

If both rechargeable batteries are inserted next to each other on the same side, first one and then the other will be charged. Check the yellow LEDs in this regard (see 4.2)

5. Cleaning and maintenance

Always pull out the power plug before starting any cleaning work.

The equipment is not allowed to be stored in a damp location or where there are caustic gases. Keep it in a dry place out of the reach of children.

5.1 Cleaning

Keep the surface of the equipment clean and wipe it only with a dry cloth.

5.2 Maintenance

There are no other parts inside the equipment which require maintenance.

The equipment is not allowed to be taken apart. If the equipment is damaged, contact your supplier or the manufacturer.

6. Disposal and recycling

The equipment is supplied in packaging to prevent it from being damaged in transit. The raw materials in this packaging can be reused or recycled. The equipment and its accessories are made of various types of material, such as metal and plastic. Defective components must be disposed of as special waste. Ask your dealer or your local council.

For EU countries only

Never place any electric power tools in your household refuse.

To comply with European Directive 2012/19/EC concerning old electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in national laws, old electric power tools have to be separated from other waste and disposed of in an environment-friendly fashion, e.g. by taking to a recycling depot.

Recycling alternative to the return request: As an alternative to returning the equipment to the manufacturer, the owner of the electrical equipment must make sure that the equipment is properly disposed of if he no longer wants to keep the equipment. The old equipment can be returned to a suitable collection point that will dispose of the equipment in accordance with the national recycling and waste disposal regulations. This does not apply to any accessories or aids without electrical components supplied with the old equipment.

The reprinting or reproduction by any other means, in whole or in part, of documentation and papers accompanying products is permitted only with the express consent of the Einhell Germany AG.
