Problems will be indicated by charger indicator lights (see Fig. 8):
If the green light (A) continues to flash after battery pack is inserted in
charger, the battery pack temperature is either too high or too low for
charging. If left alone, the charger will continue to monitor the battery pack
temperature and will begin charging when the temperature reaches an
acceptable level.
If the green light (A) glows continuously and red light (B) flashes, the battery
pack is receiving a “Fast Charge”, but the battery pack voltage is low. It is
not unusual for a new, or a fully discharged battery pack to give this
indication for the first several minutes of charge. If the red light continues to
flash throughout the charge cycle, it indicates that the pack is weak and will
provide reduced performance (the pack is still useable, but will not provide
maximum power or work per charge). This battery pack will probably require
replacement in the near future.
If the green light (A) continues to flash and red light (B) flashes, the battery
pack has failed (pack is not chargeable and requires replacement).
INSTALLING OR REMOVING BATTERY PACK
To remove a battery pack, depress the
battery release button (B) Fig. 9, and
pull battery pack out of tool.
To install a battery pack, align rails (A)
Fig. 9 on battery pack with slots on
tool and push battery pack onto tool
until it locks in place.
