pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery
packlife.
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 packwarms.
Electronic Protection System
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against overloading,
overheating or deepdischarge.
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 fullycharged.
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
batterypack.
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 warmenvironment.
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 servicecenter.
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 batterypack.
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 toclean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any
otherliquid.
