IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
Set Forward/Reversing lever to the center (off
position). Slide charged battery pack into the
housing until the battery pack locks into
position and the red warning label is no longer
visible (Fig. 1).
Your battery pack is equipped with a
secondary locking latch to prevent the battery
pack from completely falling out of the handle,
should it become loose due to vibration.
To remove the battery pack, press the battery
pack release button and slide the battery pack
forward. The red warning label will become
partially visible. Press the battery pack release
button again and slide the battery pack
completely out of tool housing.
INSERTING AND RELEASING BATTERY PACK
If the indicator lights are “OFF”, the charger
is not receiving power from power supply
outlet.
If the green indicator light is
“ON”, the charger is plugged in
but the battery pack is not
inserted, or the battery pack is fully charged.
If the green indicator light is
“BLINKING”, the battery pack is
being fast-charged. Fast-
charging will automatically stop when the
battery pack is fully charged.
If the red indicator light is “ON”,
the battery pack is too hot or
cold for fast-charging. The
charger will automatically switch to fast-
charging once a suitable temperature is
reached.
If the red indicator light is
“BLINKING”, the battery pack
cannot accept a charge or the
contacts of the charger or battery pack are
contaminated. Clean the contacts of the
charger or battery pack only as directed in
these operating instructions or those
supplied with your tool or battery pack.
CHARGER INDICATORS, SYMBOLS AND MEANING
When one light blinks the battery pack is
almost fully discharged.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR LIGHT
The red indicator light signals whether the
battery or tool (with battery inserted) is in the
optimum temperature range. When the
t
emperature is too high, the tool will not
operate at full capacity.
If the red indicator light illuminates
continuously when the battery is inserted into
the charger. The battery is outside the
charging temperature range and cannot be
charged.
If the red indicator light blinks when the
b
utton or on/off switch (with battery inserted)
is pressed, the battery is outside the
operating range of -10 ˚C to +60 ˚C.
When the temperature is above 70 ˚C the
battery turns off until it’s in the optimum
temperature range.
1. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery temperature
is between 32˚F (0˚C) and 140˚F (60˚C). If the
battery pack is too hot or too cold, the charger
will not fast charge the battery. (This may
happen if the battery pack is hot from heavy
use). When the battery temperature returns to
between 32˚F (0˚C) and 140˚F (60˚C), the
charger will automatically begin charging.
2. A substantial drop in operating time per
charge may mean that the battery pack is
nearing the end of its life and should be
replaced.
3. Remember to unplug charger during
storage period.
