u  If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by 
the manufacturer or an authorised STANLEY FAT MAX 
Service Centre in order to avoid a hazard.

Charging the battery (Fig. A)
The battery needs to be charged before rst use and 
whenever it fails to produce sufcient power on jobs that were 
easily done before.  
The battery may become warm while charging; this is normal 
and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures 
below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging 
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell 
temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the 
charger will begin to charge automatically when the cell 
temperature warms up or cools down.
Note: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion 
battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before rst 
use.
u  Plug the charger (9) into an appropriate outlet before 
inserting battery pack (6).
u  The green charging light (9a) will blink continuously 
indicating that the charging process has started.
u  The completion of charge will be indicated by the green 
charging light (9a) remaining ON continuously. The battery 
pack (6) is fully charged and may be removed and used at 
this time or left in the charger (9).
u  Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will 
be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Charger LED Modes
Charging:
Green LED  Intermittent
Fully Charged:
Green LED  Solid
Hot/Cold Pack Delay:
Green LED  Intermittent
Red LED  Solid
Note: The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty 
battery pack. The charger will indicate a faulty battery pack 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 authorized service centre.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the 
LED glowing indenitely. The charger will keep the battery 
pack fresh and fully charged.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or too cold, 
it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, the green LED 
(9a) will ash intermittently, while the red LED (9b) will remain 
on continuously, suspending charging until the battery has 
reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then  
automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This 
feature ensures maximum battery life.
