Charge Indicators
Charging
Fully Charged
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
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 25.4mm long 
with a screw head diameter of 7–9mm, screwed into wood to 
an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5mm of the screw 
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the 
exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.
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.
Battery Packs
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery 
Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include 
catalogue number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before 
using the battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions 
below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
•  Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, 
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or 
dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may 
ignite the dust or fumes.
•  Never force battery pack into charger. Do not modify 
battery pack in any way to fit into a non-compatible 
charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious 
personal injury.
•  Charge the battery packs only in STANLEYFATMAX 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 
40 ˚C (104 ˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings 
in summer).
•  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 persists, seek medical 
attention.
 
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable 
if exposed to spark or flame.
 
WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for 
any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, 
do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage 
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 (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with 
a hammer, stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution 
may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to 
service centre for recycling.
 
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.
 
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on 
a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping
