CHARGING
Before using the power tool, charge the battery as follows.
1.Insert the battery in the charger.
Position the battery so that the nameplate faces toward the nameplate of the charger and press in the battery until it comes into contact with the bottom surface. (See Figs. 1 and 2)
2.Connect the charger power cord to the receptacle. Connecting the power cord will turn on the charger (the pilot lamp lights up).
CAUTION
If the pilot lamp does not light up, pull out the power cord from the receptacle and check the battery mounting condition.
About 1 hour is required to fully charge the battery at a temperature of about 20°C. The pilot lamp goes off to indicate that the battery is fully charged.
CAUTION
If the battery is heated due to direct sunlight, etc., just after operation, the charger pilot lamp may not light. At that time cool the battery first, then start charging.
3.Disconnect the charger power cord from the receptacle.
4.Hold the charger tight and pull out the battery.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1.Inspecting the mounting screws

2.Cleaning of the charger
When the charger is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.
3.Store idle charger
When not in use, the charger should be stored in dry, high or
