-

  if green light D does not blink after inserting a battery, 

this may mean:

charges batteries when its temperature is between 
0°C and 45°C)

    2) that the battery should be replaced

-

  the lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time 

(interrupting the charging procedure does not damage 
the battery)

  the lithium-ion battery does not have to be empty 

before charging (no "memory-efect" as with nickel-

cadmium batteries)

-

  while charging, the charger and the battery may 

become warm to touch; this is normal and does not 

indicate a problem

-

  ensure that the outside surface of the battery is clean 

and dry before inserting into charger

-

  do not remove battery from tool while it is running

-

  a signiicantly reduced working period after charging 

indicates that the battery is worn out and should be 
replaced
