ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Recycle raw materials instead of disposing of as waste. The machine, accessories and packaging should be stored for environmentally friendly recycling.

OPERATION

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition. Therefore, you should charge them before first use. If the charger does not charge the battery pack under normal circumstances, bring both the battery pack and charger to an authorised service centre.

Make sure that the power supply is normal household voltage, 220–240V, 50/60Hz, AC only.

Make sure that the battery pack latch clicks into place and that the battery pack is secured in the charger before charging.

NOTE: When the battery becomes fully charged, the green LED remains on. It is normal for the battery pack to become slightly warm to touch while charging.

Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of extreme heat or cold. They work best at normal room temperature.

NOTE: When charging, the charger and battery pack should be placed in a location where the temperature is more than 10^ C but less than 25^ C.

CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK See Fig. 2

1. Align the raised rib on the battery pack with the groove in the product, and slide in the battery pack. Make sure that the battery pack latch clicks into place.
2. Connect the product to a power supply.

See Fig.3

1. Disconnect the product from the power supply when the battery pack becomes fully charged.
2. Press the battery pack latch to unlock the battery pack from the product.
3. Slide the battery pack off the product.

CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK

When using a tool continuously, the cells in the battery pack become hot. A hot battery pack should be allowed to cool down for approximately 30 minutes

before recharging.

MAINTENANCE

■ When not using or when cleaning the product, disconnect it from the power supply and remove the battery pack.
■ Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial solvents. Use clean cloth or soft brush to remove dirt and dust.
