4. Operation (Fig. 2-3)

The battery charger can be used to charge either 1 or 2 rechargeable batteries. By charging independently you can also charge different batteries (e.g.: 2.0 Ah and 4.0 Ah) simultaneously for the charging times stated on the charger.

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.

Mounting the charging unit on a wall (Fig. 4) The charging unit can also be mounted on a wall. The correct dimensions for drilling holes in the wall can be found on the back of the charging unit.

Spacing distances

≥ 10 cm from the wall (right + left)

≥ 100 cm from the ceiling

Caution!

When mounting on a wall you must use suitable screws, e.g. 3.5 mm pan-head screws, in order to prevent damage to the housing and risk of falling.
