E N G L I S H
Do not charge the battery pack at
ambient temperatures < 4 °C or > 40 °C.
Recommended charging temperature:
approx. 24 °C.
• To charge the battery pack (9), insert it into the
charger (10) as shown and plug in the charger.
Be sure that the battery pack is fully seated in the
charger. The red charging indicator (11) will blink.
After approx. 1 hour, it will stop blinking and
remain on. The battery pack is now fully charged.
• The red charging indicator flashes rapidly to
indicate a charging problem. Reinsert the battery
pack or try a new one. If the new pack also
refuses to charge, have your charger tested by
an authorised D WALT repair agent.

Automatic refresh
The automatic refresh mode will
equalize or balance the individual
cells in the battery pack at its peak
capacity. Battery packs should be
refreshed overnight after every 10th
charge/discharge cycle or whenever
the pack no longer delivers the same
amount of work.
• To refresh your battery pack, place the battery in
the charger as usual. The red light will blink
continuously indicating that the charge cycle has
started.
• When the 1-hour charge cycle has completed,
the light will stay on continuously and will no
longer blink. The pack is fully charged and can
be used at this time.
• If the pack is left in the charger after the initial
1-hour charge, the charger will automatically
initiate the refresh mode. This mode will continue
up to 8 hours, but the battery pack can be
removed at any time during the refresh mode.
Inserting and removing the battery pack (fig. A)
• Insert the battery pack into the corresponding
slot in the tool until it clicks in place. You may
need to use some force to fully engage the
spring-loaded mechanism.
• To remove the battery pack, press the two
release buttons (8) simultaneously.
28
The spring-loaded mechanism will push the
battery pack off the tool.
We recommend to insert the battery pack into the
charger directly after removing it from the tool.
Battery cap (fig. B)
A protective cap is supplied to cover the contacts of
a detached battery pack. Without the protective cap
in place, loose metal objects could short circuit the
contacts, causing a fire hazard and damaging the
battery pack.
• Take off the protective cap (12) before placing
the battery pack (9) in the charger or tool.
• Place the protective cap over the contacts
immediately after removing the battery pack from
the charger or tool.
Make sure the protective cap is in place
before storing or carrying a detached
battery pack.
AIR COOLED
The charger is equipped with an internal fan for rapid
cooling of battery packs. The fan will be automatically
switched on when required. The fan will also be
switched on periodically when there is no battery in
the charger in order to blow dust from the fan vents.
Always wear safety glasses when
plugging in the charger.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or
too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has
reached an appropriate temperature. The charger
then automatically switches to the pack charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
The red indicator blinks long, then short while in the
Hot/Cold Pack Delay mode.
