batteries. (Ni-Cd, Ni-MeH,...).
▪ Limited self-discharge (also see chapter: Storage).
9 OPERATION
9.1 Charging the battery pack
The battery pack for this tool is supplied in a low charge condition to prevent possible
problems; therefore, you have to charge the battery before first use.
Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they are charged.
Allow several cycles for the item to fully charge. The battery should only be
charged indoors.
After normal use, about 1 hour of charging time is required for the battery to be fully charged.
The battery pack will become slightly warm while charging; this is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or cold. Best is at normal room
temperature. When the battery becomes fully charged, unplug your charger from the power
supply and remove the battery pack from the charger.
Note:
1. Allow the battery pack to cool completely before charging
2. Inspect the battery pack before charging; do not charge a cracked or leaking battery
pack.
