3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light
remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully charged
and may be used at this time or left in the charger. To
remove the battery pack from the charger, push the battery

NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion
battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before firstuse.
Charger Operation
Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the
batterypack.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay*
* The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light
will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery pack
has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will
turn off and the charger will resume the chargingprocedure.
The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack.
The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing tolight.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with acharger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery
pack to be tested at an authorised servicecentre.
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 will charge at a slower rate than a warm
battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate
throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to
maximum charge rate even if the battery packwarms.
Electronic Protection System
XR 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 if the Electronic Protection
System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-ion battery
pack on the charger until it is fullycharged.
Wall Mounting
This charger is 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. Mount the
charger securely using screws (purchased separately) at least
76mm long, with a screw head diameter of 8–9.5mm, screwed
into wood through the mountingholes.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the
battery pack is charged when the ambient temperature
is between 18° – 24°C. DO NOT charge the battery pack
in an air temperature below 4.5°C, or above 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 storing the charger or battery
pack in a warmenvironment.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of socket by plugging in a lamp or other
appliance;
b. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where
the ambient air temperature is approximately 18° – 24°C;
c. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack
and charger to your local servicecentre.
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. Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into aliquid.
