Initial Operation

Before commissioning, check that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency stated on the type plate match your power supply. Devices like these that generate direct current can influence simple earth leakage protection devices. Use a type F or better, with a release current of max. 30 mA. Before commissioning the charger, ensure that the air slots are free. The minimum distance to other objects is 5 cm!

Self-test

Plug in.
The warning display (4) and the operating indicator (3) light up one after the other for approx. 1 second and the installed fan runs for approx. 5 seconds.

Use

Charging battery pack

Push the battery pack completely to the stop on the sliding seat (2). The operating indicator (3) flashes.
Note: To have the charge level displayed on Li-ion battery packs, first take the battery pack out of the charger and then press the button on the battery pack.

Conservation charge

Once the charging process has finished, the battery charger automatically switches to conservation mode. The battery pack can remain in the battery charger and is therefore always ready for use. The operating display (3) lights up continuously.

Faults

Warning display (4) lights up continuously

Battery pack is not charged. Excessive/insufficient temperature. When the temperature of the battery pack is between 0 °C and 50 °C, the charging process begins automatically.

Warning display (4) flashes

•  Battery pack is defective. Remove the battery pack immediately from the charger.
•  The battery pack was not pushed correctly onto the sliding seat (2). See chapter 7.1. 
  

Repairs

Repairs to the charger must only be carried out by qualified electricians. If the mains connection cable of this device is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or the Customer Service department of the manufacturer or a similarly qualified person to prevent endangering personnel and property. If you have Metabo charges that require repairs, please contact your Metabo service center. See www.metabo.com for addresses.

 Environmental Protection

Observe national regulations on environmentally compatible disposal and on the recycling of disused machines, packaging and accessories.

According to European Directive 2012/19/EU  on Waste from Electric and Electronic Equipment and implementation in national law, used power tools must be collected separately and recycled in an environmentally-friendly manner.

 Technical Specifications

• U = voltage ranges of the battery packs
• C = battery pack capacity
• IC = charging current
• t = charging time

Depending on the residual capacity and the temperature of the battery pack, real charging times may deviate from the specifications. Recommended ambient temperature when charging: 0 °C to 50 °C Changes due to technological progress reserved.
