If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center. 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. English Battery 1. Insert the plug of battery charger into the receptacle. When the plug of battery charger has been inserted into the receptacle, the charge status lamp will blink in red. (At 1-second intervals) WARNING: Do not use the electrical cord if damaged. Have it repaired immediately. Charge Status Lamp Charge Time Lamp Fig. 6 2. Insert the battery to the battery charger. Insert the battery into the battery charger as shown in Fig. 6. Make sure it contacts the bottom of the battery charger. 3. Charging When the battery is connected to the battery charger, charging starts, and the charge time lamp lights red, orange, or green according to the remaining charging time. (See Table 4) (1) Lamp indications This charger is equipped with a charge time lamp that indicates remaining charging time, and a charge status lamp that indicates battery status as shown in Table 4. (a) Charging time After charging commences, the charge time lamp lights red indicating 30 minutes, orange indicating 20 minutes, and green indicating 5 minutes until completion. When the battery is fully charged, the charge status lamp lights green, and the buzzer sounds continuously for 6 seconds. (b) Overheat standby When the battery is overheated, it cannot be charged, and the charge time lamp flashes red (in 0.6 second intervals). Leave the battery inserted in the charger, and charging will commence when the battery cools down. (c) Charging impossible When there is a malfunction with the battery or charger, the charge status lamp flashes orange rapidly (in 0.2 second intervals), and the buzzer sounds intermittently for 5 seconds. English Table 4 Lamp indications Lamp indications Status lamp Charge time lamp (red/ orange/ green) Charging time 30 minutes Lights red Lights continuously 30 minutes until charging complete. Charging time 20 minutes Lights orange Lights continuously 20 minutes until charging complete. Charging time 5 minutes Lights green Lights continuously 5 minutes until charging complete. Overheat standby Blinks red Lights for 0.3 seconds, off 0.3 seconds Battery overheated. Unable to charge. (Charging will commence when battery cools.) Charge status lamp (red/ orange/ green) Before charging Blinks red Lights for 0.5 seconds, off 0.5 seconds Power cord is connected to receptacle. Charging complete Lights green Lights continuously Charging impossible Blinks orange Lights for 0.1 seconds, off 0.1 seconds ¦ Battery or charger malfunction. (2) Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable battery The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in the table below, and batteries that have become hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged. Table 5 Recharging of batteries that have become hot Rechargeable batteries Temperatures at which the battery can be recharged EB1830HL 32°F—122°F (0°C—50°C) 4. Disconnect battery charger from the receptacle. CAUTION: Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling on the cord. Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from receptacle to avoid damaging cord. 5. Remove the battery from the battery charger. Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger. CAUTION: . Repair is required if the receptacle is not secured properly or the power cord does not stay in the receptacle. Consult your electrician. Using the charger in this condition may lead to fire. . If the charge status lamp is blinking orange rapidly (in 0.2 second intervals) and the buzzer sounds intermittently for 5 seconds, check that the hole for connecting the battery is not obstructed. Remove any obstructions. If no obstructions are found, the battery or charger may be malfunctioned. Return both to your place of purchase. . If the charge time lamp does not light when the power cord is connect...
