BATTERY CHARGED CONDITION INDICATOR

The battery is equipped with a charged condition indicator (Fig. 15). The indicator lights shows the charged condition of the battery during the working process.

By pressing the button ON, the charged condition can also be checked when the battery is removed or when the machine is not in use.

• • When all three lights are illuminated, this indicates the batter pack is fully Charged.

• When only two lights illuminate, this indicates the batter pack is partially charged.

When only one light illuminates, this indicates the battery pack is slightly charged.

When no lights illuminate, this indicates the battery pack is completely discharged.

RELEASING AND INSERTING BATTERY PACK

Release battery pack from tool by pressing the battery release button and sliding pack out of handle base (Fig. 1). To insert battery,

align battery and slide battery pack into tool until it locks into position. Do not force.

CHARGING BATTERY PACK (FAST CHARGER)

Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet, then slide the battery pack into charger (Fig. 15).

The charger’s green indicator will begin to “BLINK”. This indicates that the battery is receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will automatically stop when the battery pack is fully charged.

When the indicator light stops “BLINKING” (and becomes a steady green light) fast charging is complete.

When you begin the charging process of the battery pack, a steady green light could also mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.

The purpose of the light is to indicate that the battery pack is fast-charging. It does not indicate the exact point of full charge. The light will stop blinking in less time if the battery pack was not completely discharged.

When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug the charger (unless you're charging another battery pack) and slip the battery pack back into the tool handle.
