Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
The charger is designed to operate on standard 120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on
any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,
aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from the charger cavities.
Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Charging a Battery (Fig. B)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.
2. Insert and fully seat battery pack. Green charging light will continuously blink while charging.
3. Charging is complete when the green light remains continuously ON. Battery pack can be left in charger or
removed.
4. Charger will not charge a faulty battery pack, which may be indicated by the light staying OFF or the red light
rapidly blinking. Take charger and battery pack to an authorized service center if light stays OFF or red light
rapidly blinks.
NOTE: Refer to label near charging light on charger for blink patterns.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery pack life.
A cold battery pack may charge at a slower rate than a warm battery pack.
The hot/cold pack delay will be indicated by the red light continuously flashing a short ON followed by a longer ON
(see charger for blink pattern). Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature, the charger will
resume the charging procedure.
Electronic Protection System
Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack against overloading,
overheating or deep discharge. The tool will automatically turn off and the battery pack will need to be recharged.
Important Charging Notes
1. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.
2. If the battery pack does not charge properly
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the
lights;
c. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center.
3. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be
removed from the exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or any cleaning
solutions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making
any adjustments or removing/ installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start‑up can cause injury.
