Translation of the Original Instructions.

For your safety

Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
WARNING
tions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Do not use this battery charger before you have thoroughly read and completely understood this Instruction Manual. The documents mentioned should be kept for later use and enclosed with the battery charger, should it be passed on or sold.
Please also observe the relevant national industrial safety regulations.
Intended use of the battery chargers:
The battery chargers are intended for commercial use in trades, for charging and re-charging FEIN lithium-ion batteries with the following characteristics:

Special safety instructions.
This charger can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the safe use of the charger and understand the hazards involved. Children may not play with the charger. Cleaning and users maintenance may not be performed by children without supervision.
Keep the battery charger away from rain or moisture. The penetration of water into an electrical device increases the risk of an electric shock.
Do not operate the battery charger on easily inflammable surfaces or in combustible environments. The heating of the battery charger during the charging process can pose a fire hazard.
Provide for sufficient ventilation during operation. Do not operate the battery charger in enclosed cabinets or in close vicinity to heat sources. Ambient temperatures in  xcess of +45 °C can lead to malfunctions.
Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
Otherwise there is danger of fire and explosion.
Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can lead to danger of an electric shock.
Before each use, check the battery charger, cable and plug. If damage is detected, do not use the battery charger. Never open the battery charger yourself, and have repairs
carried out only by FEIN or an authorized FEIN service agent.
Damaged battery chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of an electric shock.
Remove the battery from the charger and pull the mains plug when not using for extended periods. Saving energy helps to save the environment.
When cleaning the battery charger, pull the mains plug out of the socket. There is danger of electric shock.
Do not rivet or screw any nameplates or signs onto the battery charger. If the insulation is damaged, protection against an electric shock will be ineffective. Adhesive labels are recommended.
Charge only intact original FEIN batteries that are intended for your power tool. When charging incorrect, damaged, repaired or reconditioned batteries, imitations or other brands, there is danger of fire and/or explosion.
Caution! Using the charger with Bluetooth ® may cause interference with other devices and systems, aircraft and medical devices (e.g., cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids). Also, the possibility of humans and animals in direct vicinity being harmed cannot be completely exempt. Do not use the charger with Bluetooth ® near medical devices, chemical plants, areas with explosion hazards (e.g. petrol stations), in blasting areas and in aircraft. Avoid operation in direct vicinity of the body over longer periods.

Operating Instructions.
Connect the battery charger to the socket outlet without a battery inserted. The green LED indicator lights up and signals operational readiness. Insert the battery. The monitoring of the charge procedure is signalled by a flashing green light. The end of the charge procedure is indicated by continuous green lighting. The rapid charging starts automatically as soon as the battery temperature is within the charge-temperature range of 5 °C to 45 °C.
When lithium-ion batteries are fully charged, the battery charger switches off automatically. Repeated inserting of a charged battery leads to overcharging and affects the service life of the battery. If the battery becomes discharged within a short time despite being charged correctly, it has reached the end of its service life.
The installed fan starts and stops depending on the charger’s internal temperature. On the ALG80BC, alternate flashing of the green and blue LED indicates connection readiness of the Bluetooth® module. If the blue LED lights up continuously,® an active Bluetooth connection exists.
Meaning of the LED indications

LED indicator	Meaning
Continuous green light	The battery charger is ready for operation; mains voltage is given.
ALG8OBC: Continuous blue light	The battery charger is ready for operation; mains voltage is given. The Bluetooth® module is coupled with a mobile device. Note: The Bluetooth® module automatically switches to energy saving mode after a longer period of inactivity. By inserting a Li-ion battery, the Bluetooth A module is activated again.
Continuous yellow light	The battery temperature is not within the charge-temperature range of 5 °C to +45 °C. The rapid charging starts as soon as the battery reaches the allowable charging-temperature range.

LED indicator	Meaning
Continuous red light	Charging not possible due to the following possible reasons: — Contacts contaminated. Improvement measure: Clean the contacts by inserting and removing the battery several times. — The battery is defective. Improvement measure: Replace the battery!
	Charging procedure   Continuous green light flashing LED
	Rapid charging starts.

	LED continuously OFF while battery is attached on charger: Rapid charging is over. Battery fully charged for more than 1 hour on the charger.
The charge indication of charger and battery may temporarily vary for technical reasons.

Bluetooth® Connection
By coupling the charger with a Bluetooth® low-energy capable mobile device, data can be transferred between the charger and the mobile device. For this, download
the FEIN Service App onto your mobile device and fol- low the instructions of the FEIN Service App.
The FEIN Service App enables:

• the registration of FEIN power tools
• the management of FEIN power tools
• the status check of charger and battery
•  access to further information.

Note: If fully charged battery packs are inserted into the battery charger, the battery charger remains inactive and the battery pack is not recognized by the my.FEIN app. Please try inserting again once the battery pack is partially discharged. For battery packs with a production date prior to 01.01.2021, the serial number may occasionally be displayed incorrectly in the my.FEIN app. In this case, you can only read out the current charge condition. Displaying the number of charging cycles of the inserted battery pack is not possible.
Repair and customer service. Once per week; more often in case of frequent usage:

• Keep the contacts in the slide-on shoe clean.
• Only dry-clean electrical contacts.
• Ensure that metal chips do not enter the battery charger housing.

If the charger’s power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special power cord, available from the manufacturer or their representative.
