WARNING!
Do not allow familiarity with the charger to cause a lack of alertness. A fraction of a second
of carelessness is enough to cause severe injury.
When to charge the battery pack
The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time and will not develop a “memory” when charged
after only a partial discharge. It is not necessary to run down the battery pack charge before
recharging. Remove the battery pack from the tool when it is convenient for you and your job.
1. You can “top-off” your battery pack’s charge before starting a big job or a long period of use.
2. Due to Lithium-Ion’s fade-free properties, the only time it is necessary to charge the Lithium-Ion
battery pack is when the pack has reached the end of its charge. To signal the end of charge,
power to the tool will drop quickly. Charge the battery pack as needed.
How to charge the battery pack
NOTE: The Lithium-Ion battery pack is shipped partially charged. Fully charge the battery pack before
using it for the first time.
A fully discharged battery pack will charge in about 30 minutes at a temperature between 0-40°C
(32-104°F).
1. Charge the Lithium-Ion battery pack only with the correct charger.
2. Connect the charger to a power supply.
3. Attach the battery pack to the charger by
aligning the raised ribs of the battery pack
with the slot in the charger. Insert the battery
pack into the charger (fig 1).
4. The charger will communicate with the battery
pack to evaluate the condition of the battery pack.
5. The green light will flash while the battery
pack is charging. After charging is complete,
the green LED on the charger will be on. The
flickering red light indicates defective battery
or bad connection between the battery and the charger.
6. If left on the charger, the battery pack will fully charge, but will not overcharge.
