Be sure to close the set plate fully before

 

using the tool.

Charging

Plug the fast charger into your power source. Insert the battery cartridge so that the plus and minus terminals on the bat- tery cartridge are on the same sides as their respective markings on the fast charger. In- sert the cartridge fully into the port so that it rests on the charger port floor.

The charging light will come on and charg- ing will begin. If the charging light does not come on, press the reset button. If the

charging light goes out within 10 seconds even after pressingthe reset button a couple of times, the battery cartridge is dead. (CAUTION : Wait for more than 5 seconds after the charging light goes out to press the reset button again.) Replace it with a new one. When the charging light goes out after about one hour, you may remove the fully charged battery cartridge. After charging, unplug the charger from the power source.

CAUTION :

0 Your new battery cartridge is not charged. You will need to charge it before use.

0 If you try to charge a cartridge from a just-operated tool, sometimes the charging light will not come on. If this occurs, let the cartridge cool off for a while. Then re-insert it and try to charge it once more.

0 When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used for a long period, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging it almost completely a couple of times.

0If you wish to charge two battery cartridges, allow 15 minutes between chargings on the fast charger.
