ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING
CHECKING THE BATTERY CHARGE STATUS
The level of charge remaining in the battery can be checked by using the battery
LED power indicator that is contained on the end of the battery.
NOTE: The battery charge remaining may be checked while the battery is installed
in the tool with the ON/OFF switch turned OFF. It may also be checked while the
battery is removed from the tool. DO NOT check the battery charge remaining
while the battery is in the charger.
You will get a false reading and you may also damage the
battery status system.
1. Press and hold the battery status button located on
the end of the battery
2. One or more of the four LED lights in the LED window
will come ON to indicate the amount of charge that is
remaining in the battery as follows:
Charge level
indicator
Amount of charge
remaining
0-10% 10-25% 25-50% 50-75% 75-100%
3. Release the battery status button to turn the LEDs OFF.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
1. Before using the tool, charge the battery. Place the battery charger (1) in a dry
location near a 110–120V 60 Hz electrical outlet (Fig. 1).
2. Plug the battery charger into the outlet and make sure the green LED indicator
light (5) comes ON. If it does not, refer to the chart (Fig. 2) to identify the problem.
3. Turn the battery (2) upside down and slide it onto the charger.
NOTE: Make sure the grooves (3) in the sides of the battery slide over the matching
tabs on the charger (4) until the battery latch “clicks” into place.
NOTES:
1. When the charger is plugged into the wall receptacle and NO battery is on the
charger, the green indicator light (5) will turn ON indicating the charger is “live”.
2. When a discharged battery is installed on the charger, the green indicator light
will turn OFF and the red indicator light (6) will turn ON and blink. The red
indicator light indicates the battery is being charged.
3. If the red indicator light does not come ON, check to make sure battery pack is
slid fully onto the charger and the electrical outlet is working properly.
4. See Fig. 2 below for other indicator light functions.
