Chargers
chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be as easy as
possible tooperate.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check
that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate. Also make sure that the voltage of your charger corresponds to that
of yourmains.
Your
charger is double insulated in
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
isrequired.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
or an
authorised serviceorganisation.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use an
approved extension cable suitable for the power input of your charger (see
Technical Data). The minimum conductor size is 1mm
2
; the maximum
length is30m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cablecompletely.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety
and operating instructions for compatible battery chargers (refer to
TechnicalData).
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on
charger, battery pack, and product using batterypack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside
charger. Electric shock mayresult.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current device with a
residual current rating of 30mA orless.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only
rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst
causing personal injury anddamage.
CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with theappliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the
power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the charger can be
shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature
such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil or any buildup of
metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always
unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery
pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers
other than the ones in this manual. The charger and battery pack are
specifically designed to worktogether.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire,
electric shock orelectrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain orsnow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will
reduce risk ofdamage to electric plug andcord.
• Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating sawblade.
• Risk of injury when changing theblade.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when opening theguards.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when sawing wood,
especially oak, beech andMDF.
The following factors increase the risk of breathing problems:
• No dust extractor connected when sawingwood.
• Insufficient dust extraction caused by uncleaned exhaustfilters.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on,
tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage orstress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary.
Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire,electric shock,
orelectrocution.
• Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger on
a soft surface that might block the ventilation slots and result in
excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any
heat source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the
bottom of thehousing.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug—have them
replacedimmediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorised
servicecentre.
• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorised service centre
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a
risk of electric shock, electrocution orfire.
• In case of damaged power supply cord the supply cord must be replaced
immediately by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified
person to prevent anyhazard.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any
cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the
battery pack will not reduce thisrisk.
• NEVER attempt to connect two chargerstogether.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard 230V household
electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage. This
does not apply to the vehicularcharger.
Charging a Battery (Fig. B)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
batterypack.
2. Insert the battery pack
4
into the charger, making sure the battery
pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging) light will blink
repeatedly indicating that the charging process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining
ON continuously. The battery pack is fully charged and may be used
at this time or left in the charger. To remove the battery pack from the
charger, push the battery release button
5
on the battery pack.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery
packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use.
Charger Operation
Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the battery pack.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay*
* The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light will be
illuminated during this operation. Once the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature, the yellow light will turn off and the charger will
resume the charging procedure.
The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger
will indicate faulty battery by refusing to light.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery pack to be
tested at an authorised service centre.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too cold, it
automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the
battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then
