The battery in your new cordless power
tool will not be fully charged when you
receive it. To maximize the storage capac-
ity of the battery it should be completely
discharged, then fully recharged 3-5 times.
For optimal life span, completely discharge
the battery before charging. Follow the
instructions below to charge your battery.
Battery charging with the 1 hour
“Smart” charger (1 piece charger):
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate
110/120V outlet.
2. Insert the battery into the charger as
in Figure 1. The battery fits into the
oval recess in only one way. Do not
force the battery. Insert until it locks
into place.
3. The green light over the word “OFF”
on the control panel should come on.
If it doesn’t, make certain the wall out-
let you are plugged into is working. If
the outlet power is okay, the fuse
inside the charger may have blown.
Fuses should be replaced by a quali-
fied electrical technician.
4. To begin charging, press the “SET”
button. A steady red light over the
word “ON” should come on indicating
the battery is being charged.
5. When the battery is fully charged, the
green light will come on and the unit
will stop charging. Remove the bat-
tery from the charger upon comple-
tion of the charge cycle.
Never leave a battery unattend-
ed while charging. While charg-
ing will make the battery and
charging unit warm, if it
becomes hot to the touch, dis-
connect the charger immediate-
ly. There is a possibility of fire
hazard. Have the battery and
charging unit checked by a qual-
ified electrical service techni-
cian.
