nly use extension cables that are approved and
technically in perfect condition.
During operation provide sufficient ventilation.
M
alfunction during charging can be caused by storing
and operating in places where the temperature
e
xceeds +40°C; this should be avoided. Battery
c
harging in closed cupboards, near heat sources
(
radiators, bright sunshine) etc., causes heat to
a
ccumulate and can damage the device.
If the battery is not going to be used for a longer
period, pull the battery off the battery charger and pull
out the mains plug.
Protect battery contact to avoid a short circuit caused
by metallic object that can cause a fire or explosion!
Only charge original recommended batteries.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
an Authorised Service Center in order to avoid a
hazard.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
When charging a new NiCad and/or Li-Ion battery it
should be fully discharged followed by a full charge
for the charging rate for the battery as stated in the
product manual plus 30 minutes. This should then be
followed by a full discharge and a further full charge
for the charging rate for the battery as stated in the
product manual plus 30 minutes. This procedure will
condition the battery and equalise the cell voltages.
Following this procedure will ensure the optimum
operation of the battery.
When repeatedly using the charger to charge a
number of batteries always allow the charger to cool
down before charging another battery. It is
recommended that the cooling down period is not
less than 30 to 45 minutes.
When charging a battery that has been discharged
during heavy use allow the battery to cool down
before charging. It is recommended that the cooling
down period is not less than 30 to 45 minutes.
NOTE: If the charger does not charge the battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery
pack and charger to the nearest FXA authorised
service centre for electrical check.
NICAD AND/OR LI-ION CHARGING & CHARGERS
NiCad and/or Li-Ion batteries need to be recharged
with a reasonable amount of care, largely because
they can be damaged by overcharging.
Overcharging can result in the battery temperature
and internal pressure to rise rapidly. This can cause
the cells to distort and lose electrolyte, and in extreme
cases where the internal pressure is extremely high
they can even explode.
This situation can also arise when an overcharged
battery is fitted to the product and is being used. In
order to avoid this extreme situation it is of vital
importance that NiCad and/or Li-Ion batteries are fully
discharged before charging and that the charge time
is not exceeded except when “Conditioning” a new
battery. Repeated charging of partially discharged
batteries could cause failure of one or more of the
cells.

ATTERY CHARGING INDOORS
This charger is designed to be used indoors. We do
n
ot recommend that it is used inside your home.
Ideally batteries should be charged on a bench in a
w
orkshop, garage or shed. If the charging operation is
to be carried out in your home the area must be well
ventilated and the charger must be placed on a non
combustible surface ensuring that the ventilation slots
a
re not blocked. Never exceed the charging time
except when “Conditioning” a new battery, as this
c
ould damage the battery and charger.
WARNING!
M
ains voltage must correspond with the voltage
specifications on the device.
COMPONENTS & CONTROLS (FIG 1)
OPERATION
CHARGING A BATTERY PACK
This charger is compatible with batteries from the 18V
FXA XCLICK range:
FXAJDB180Li 2.0Ah FXA XCLICK Battery
FXAJDB180Li-II 4.0Ah FXA XCLICK Battery
FXAJDB519418 G2 2.0Ah FXA XCLICK Battery
FXAJDB519518 G2 4.0Ah FXA XCLICK Battery
FXAJDB519520 G2 5.0Ah FXA XCLICK Battery
FXAJDB519218 G2 8.0Ah FXA XCLICK Battery
Warning! Only charge batteries in compatible 18V
chargers. Use of other chargers may result in fire,
damage or serious personal injury.
Caution: The charger should be protected by a
residual current device (rated at 30mA or less).
Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (operation
followed by recharging) for them to become fully
charged.
First read the safety instructions then follow the
charging instructions.
Plug the charger into a standard 230V~50Hz mains
socket outlet, the green LED on the charger will
illuminate to indicate it is ON.
Do not allow the cable to become knotted or kinked.
Place the battery pack into the charger base.
(Note the battery has raised ribs which allows it to fit
into the charger only one way).
The amount of time required for charging is
dependent of which type of battery and charger you
are using. Please use the following chart to determine
your FXA XCLICK battery charge time.

2. Red LED indicator
3. Green LED indicator
