Charging
CAUTION:
•The charger is designed to operate on standard domestic electrical power only as stated in the rating plate. Charge only on the voltage indicated on the rating plate of unit. e.g.230v / 50Hz.
•Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage or frequency rating!
•If the temperature of the battery pack falls approximately below −10°C (14°F), charging will automatically stop to prevent degradation of the battery.
•The ambient temperature range is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool may fail to function properly.
•Use the charger at temperatures between 0°C and 40°C, and charge the battery at a temperature similar to that of the battery itself. (There should be no more than a 15°C difference between the temperatures of the battery and the charging location.)
•When charging a cool battery pack (below 0°C (32°F)) in a warm place, leave the battery pack at the place and wait for more than one hour to warm up the battery to the level of the ambient temperature.
•Cool down the charger when charging more than two battery packs consecutively.
