NOTE:
The charging time may vary according to temperature and power source
voltage.
4.
Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the receptacle.
5.
Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE:
After operation, pull out batteries from the charger first, and then keep the
batteries properly.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have
not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge
might be low when using them the first and second time. This is a temporary
phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by
recharging the batteries 2-3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool
and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the
electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is
recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will
deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and
recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION:
䡬
When the battery charger has been continuosly used, the battery charger
will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging
has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.
䡬
If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to
sunlight, the pilot lamp map light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before
charging.
䡬
When the pilot lamp flickers in red (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and
take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery installation hole. If there
are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.

1.
Connect the charger’s power cord to the receptacle.
When connecting the plug of the charger to a receptacle, the pilot lamp will
blink in red. (At 1-second intervals)
2.
Insert the battery into the charger.
Firmly insert the battery into the charger as shown in
Fig. 5, 6
.
3.
Charging
When inserting a battery in the charger, the pilot lamp will light up
continuously in red.
When the battery becomes fully recharged, the pilot lamp will blink in red.
(At 1-second intervals.) (See
Table 4
)
(1) Lamp indication
The indications of the pilot lamp will be as shown in
Table 4
, according to
the condition of the charger or the rechargeable battery.

(2) Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in the
Table 2
,
and batteries that have become hot should be cooled for a while before
being recharged.
(3) Regarding recharging time
Table 3
shows the recharging time required according to the type of battery.
4.
Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the receptacle.
5.
Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use, and then keep it.

CAUTION
䡬
If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long
time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just
been used, the pilot lamp of the charger lights for 1 second, does not light
for 0.5 seconds (off for 0.5 seconds). In such a case, first let the battery cool,
then start charging.
