CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Before using your cordless tool for the first time, fully charge the battery
pack. If the battery pack is installed, remove it by following instructions
under INSTALLING OR REMOVING BATTERY PACK.
NORMAL CHARGING
Make sure that the power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the
charger specification plate. Connect the charger to the power source. The red
and green lights will flash once to indicate that the power is connected
properly and the charger is ready for operation.
Position the battery pack on charger, align the rails on the battery pack (A)
Fig. 2 with the four tabs (C) Fig. 1 on the charger. Slide the battery forward
on charger until it stops.
The green light (A) Fig. 1 should begin
to flash rapidly indicating that the
battery pack is receiving a “fast
charge”. [If the green light does not
flash or if the red light (B) illuminates,
see DIAGNOSTICS]. After
approximately one hour, the “Fast
Charge” indicator light should glow
continually, indicating that the battery
pack is fully charged and that the
charger is now in a “Maintenance Charge” mode. The battery pack can be
left on “Maintenance Charge” until you are ready to use it.
Depending on room temperature, line voltage, and existing charge level,
initial battery charging may take longer than one hour.
Disconnect the charger from the power source when not in use.
INSTALLING OR REMOVING BATTERY PACK
Always set the trigger switch to the locked OFF position
when installing or removing the battery pack.

button (B) Fig. 2, and pull battery pack
