This charger can be used by children aged 8 or older and by persons who have physical, sensory or mental  imitations or a lack of experience or knowledge if a person responsible for their safety supervises them or has instructed them in the safe operation of the charger and they understand the associated dangers. Otherwise, there is a risk of operating errors and
    injuries.

  • Supervise children during use, cleaning and maintenance.
    This will ensure that children do not play with the charger.

  • Only charge FEIN AMPShare Li-Ion batteries or batteries of AMPS hare partners with a capacity of 2,0 Ah or more. The battery voltage must match the battery charging voltage of the charger. Do not charge any non-rechargeable batteries. Otherwise there is a risk of fire and explosion.
    Do not expose the charger to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

  • Keep the charger clean. Dirt poses a risk of electric shock.

  • Always check the charger, cable and plug before use. Stop using the charger if you discover any damage. Do not open the charger yourself, and have it repaired only by a qualified specialist using only original replacement parts. Damaged chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of electric shock.

  • Do not operate the charger on an easily ignited surface (e.g. paper, textiles, etc.) or in a flammable environment. There is a risk of fire due to the charger heating up during operation.

  • Do not cover the ventilation slots of the charger. Otherwise, the charger may overheat and no long function properly.

  • Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

  • In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may also be emitted. Ensure the area is well-ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

  • Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).

If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.

  • Do not operate the charger in closed cupboards or near sources of heat. Otherwise, the charger may overheat and no longer function properly.
  • When it is not in use for a long period, remove the battery from the charger and pull out the plug. Saving energy protects the environment.
  • Remove the charger’s plug from the plug socket when carrying out cleaning. There is a risk of electric shock.
  • Do not screw or nail any signs or labels onto the charger. Damaged insulation offers no protection against electric shocks. Use stick-on labels instead.

Operation

Start-up

  • Note the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the charger.
    Chargers marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

Charging process
The charging process begins as soon as the mains plug for the charger is inserted into the mains socket and the battery is inserted into the charging slot (1).
Thanks to the intelligent charging process, the charge condition of the battery is automatically detected and then charged up with the optimal charge current depending on battery temperature and voltage.
In this way, the battery is treated with care and remains permanently fully charged when it is stored in the charger
What the display elements mean
Flashing green battery charge level indicator (3)
The rapid-charging procedure is in- dicated by flashing of the green bat- tery charge level indicator (3). The battery can be removed at any time and used.
Note: The charging process is only possible when the temperature of the battery is within the permitted charging temperature range, see section “Technical data”.
Once approx. 80 % of the battery capacity has been reached, the flashing of the green battery charge indicator slows down. The rapid-charging process is now completed. If the battery stays connected to the charger, charging will continue at a slower speed until it is fully charged. 80 %
Continuously illuminated green battery charge level indicator (3)
The continuous light of the green battery charge level indicator (3) signals that the battery is fully charged. The battery can then be removed for immediate use. When there is no battery connected, the continuous light of the battery charge level indicator (3) indicates that the mains plug is plugged into the mains socket and that the charger is ready to be used.
Continuously illuminated red battery charge level indicator (4)
The continuous light of the red battery charge level indicator (4) shows that the temperature of the battery is outside of the permitted charging temperature range, see section “Technical data”.
The charging process begins as soon as the permitted temperature range has been reached.
Flashing red battery charge level indicator (4)English
The flashing light of the red battery charge level indicator (4) signals that the charging process has been interrupted by a different fault, see section “Errors – causes and corrective measures”.
Errors – causes and corrective measures

Cause Corrective measures

Red battery charge level indicator (4) is flashing Charging not possible
The battery is not con- nected (correctly)| Connect battery to
charger correctly
Battery contacts are dirty| Clean the battery contacts; e.g. by connecting and disconnecting the battery several
times. Replace battery if necessary
Battery defective| Replace the battery
Green battery charge level indicator (3) / Red battery charge level indicator (4) is not illuminated
Mains plug of the charger is not (correctly) plugged in| Insert the mains plug (fully) into the plug socket
Plug socket, mains cable or charger defective| Check mains voltage, have charger checked if necessary by an authorised after-sales service centre for FEIN power tools

Practical advice
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indicates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced. When the charger is used continuously, or for several consecutive charge cycles without interruption, the charger may heat up. This is, however, harmless and does not indicate that the charger has a technical defect.
Battery cooling (Active Air Cooling)
The fan control unit integrated into the charger monitors the temperature of the inserted battery. As soon as the battery temperature is above approx. 0 °C, the battery will be cooled by a fan. The fan generates a ventilation sound when switched on. If the fan does not run, it is defective or the battery temperature is < 0 °C. This can increase the charging time.
