Charger Operation
Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the 
batterypack.
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 chargingprocedure.
The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. 
The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to light or by 
displaying problem pack or charger blinkpattern.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with acharger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery 
pack to be tested at an authorised servicecentre.
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 
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.
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 theslots.
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 aliquid.

catalogue number andvoltage.
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 proceduresoutlined.
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 orfumes.
•  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 
personalinjury.
•  Charge the battery packs only in STANLEYFATMAXchargers.
•  DO NOT splash or immerse in water or otherliquids.
•  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 areburned.
•  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 lithiumsalts.
•  Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory 
irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persists, seek 
medicalattention.
 
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may 
be flammable if exposed to spark orflame.
 
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 forrecycling.
 
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or 
carry the battery pack so that metal objects can 
contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do
