. During charging, the charging lamp will
be lit.
When charging is completed, an inter-
nal electronic switch will automatically
be triggered to prevent overcharging.
• Charging will not start if the battery
pack is warm (for example, immedi-
ately after heavy-duty operation).
The orange standby lamp will be lit
until the battery cools down.
Charging will then begin automati-
cally.
4. The charge lamp (green) will flash
slowly once the battery is approxi-
mately 80% charged.
5. When charging is completed, the
charging lamp will start flashing quickly
in green color.
6. When in any of the conditions that bat-
tery pack is too cool, charging takes
longer to fully charge the battery pack,
than the standard charging time.
Even when the battery is fully charged,
it will have approximately 50% of the
power of a fully charged battery at nor-
mal operating temperature.
7. If the power lamp does not light imme-
diately after the charger is plugged in,
or if after the standard charging time the
lamp does not go off, consult an autho-
rized dealer.
8. If a fully charged battery pack is
inserted into the charger again, the
charging lamp lights up. After sever-
al minutes, the charging lamp may
flash quickly to indicate the charging
is completed.

NOTE:
When you charge the battery pack
for the first time, or after prolonged

hours to bring the battery up to full
capacity.
