BATTERY OPERATION
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK GENERAL
Before using your cordless Nailer for the first time, the battery pack should
be fully charged. If the battery pack is installed in the Nailer, remove it by
following instructions under INSTALLING OR REMOVING BATTERY PACK.
As a battery pack approaches the discharged state, you will notice a sharp
drop in tool performance. When the tool is unable to perform the task at
hand, it is time to recharge the battery pack. Recharging the battery pack
before this condition is reached will reduce the total work life of the pack.
Discharging the pack beyond this point can damage the pack.
NOTE: Battery temperature will increase during and shortly after
use. Batteries may not accept a full charge if they are charged
immediately after use. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before charging for best results.
The battery charger may rest on the four pads provided on the bottom of the
case or be mounted on a wall by utilizing the two key hole slots provided.
CAUTION: Vent slots in top and bottom of charger must not be
obstructed. Do not charge battery when temperature is BELOW
40°F or ABOVE 104°F (4.4/40°C).
NORMAL CHARGING
Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the charger
specification plate. Connect charger to power source. The green light (A) Fig.
23, should begin to flash. This indicates the charger is ready to begin
charging.
Position battery pack on charger, align rails (A) Fig. 24 on battery pack with
four tabs (C) Fig. 23 on charger. Slide battery forward onto charger until it
stops.
The green light (A) Fig. 23, should begin to glow continuously, indicating that
the battery pack is receiving a “Fast Charge” (if the green light does not glow
continuously, or if the red light (B) Fig. 23, also begins to flash: see
DIAGNOSTICS). After approximately one hour, the “Fast Charge” indicator
light should go out indicating that the battery pack is fully charged and that
the charger is now in a “Trickle Charge” mode. The battery pack can be left
on “Trickle 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 charger from power source when not in use.
