Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 65 °F – 75 °F (18 ° – 24 °C). DO NOT charge when
the battery is below +40 °F (+4.5 °C), or above +104 °F
(+40 °C). This is important and will prevent serious damage
to the battery pack.
2. 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.
3. 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. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where
the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65
°F – 75 °F (18 ° – 24 °C);
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack
and charger to your local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse effect on the battery pack.
5. 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 charger cavities. Always unplug the charger
from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the
cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other
liquid.
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.
Wall Mounting
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit
upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting, locate the
charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from a
corner or other obstructions which may impede air flow. Use
the back of the charger as a template for the location of the
mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger securely using
drywall screws (purchased separately) at least 1" (25.4 mm)
long, with a screw head diameter of 0.28"–0.35" (7–9 mm),
screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately
7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the
back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully engage
them in the slots.
CRAFTSMAN chargers can be mounted to the wall using
CRAFTSMAN VersaTrack Trackwall. Hooks and accessories
are sold separately. Please refer to the VersaTrack Trackwall
accessory sheet for further information.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
and cautionary markings for the battery pack,
charger and product. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
• Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery
pack from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• NEVER force the battery pack into the charger. DO
NOT modify the battery pack in any way to fit into a
non-compatible charger as battery pack may rupture
causing serious personal injury. Consult the chart at the
end of this manual for compatibility of batteries and chargers.
• Charge the battery packs only in CRAFTSMAN chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or exceed
104 °F (40 °C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings
in summer). For best life store battery packs in a cool, dry
location.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a product with
the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger
switch in the ON position.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can
explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium-ion battery packs are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye
for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention
is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of
liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory
irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical
attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be
flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case is
cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do
not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way
(e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
Damaged battery packs should be returned to the service
center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged
battery pack in a cool dry place out of the charger for
optimal results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation) Seal on the lithium-ion batteries
(or battery packs) indicates that the costs to
recycle these batteries (or battery packs) at the end of their
useful life have already been paid by CRAFTSMAN. In some
areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the
trash or municipal solid waste stream and the Call 2 Recycle®
program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with CRAFTSMAN and other
battery users, has established the program in the United States
and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent lithium-ion
batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural
resources by returning the spent lithium-ion batteries to an
authorized service center or to your local retailer for recycling.
You may also contact your local recycling center for information
on where to drop off the spent battery. RBRC® is a registered
trademark of Call 2 Recycle, Inc..
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place
the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product
kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if
the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact
with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand
tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation
Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes in
carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly protected
from short circuits. So when transporting individual
battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could
contact them and cause a short circuit.
MAINTENANCE
Repairs
The charger and battery pack are not serviceable. There are no
servicable parts inside the charger or battery pack.
NOTICE: Bring the battery charger and battery when arriving
at your authorized service dealer for any scheduled service.
WARNING: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, maintenance and adjustment (including brush
inspection and replacement, when applicable) should
be performed by a CRAFTSMAN Factory service center
or a CRAFTSMAN authorized service center. Always use
identical replacement parts.
