• Plug the charger (10) into an appropriate outlet before
inserting battery pack.
• Insert the battery pack (7) into the charger. The red
(charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the
charging process has started.
• The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light
remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and
may be used at this time or left in the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of Li-Ion
batteries, charge the battery pack fully before first use.
Charging Process
Refer the tables below for the state of charge of the battery
pack.

OT/COLD PACK DELAY
When the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically
delays charging until the battery has cooled.
When the charger detects a battery that is cold, it automatically
delays charging until the battery has warmed.
The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light
will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery has
cooled, the yellow light will turn off and the charger will resume
the charging procedure.
Li-Ion batteries are designed with an Electronic Pr
otection
System that will protect the battery against overloading,
overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection
System engages. If this occurs, place the Li-Ion battery on the
charger until it is fully charged.

Specific safety instructions for lithium ion
(Li-Ion)
• 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
