Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 5-6)

Remove the battery pack (a) from the handle, pressing the pushlock button (b) downwards as you do so.
Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate. Insert the power plug of the charger (c) into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to blink.
Push the battery (a) onto the charger (c).
In the section entitled „Charger indicator“ you will fi nd a table with explanations of the LED display on the charger.

The battery pack can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
whether there is good contact at the charging contacts

If the battery pack still fails to charge, send the charging unit and the battery pack to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res.

To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.
