LED FUNCTIONS OF CHARGER
LED WILL BE ON TO INDICATE STATUS OF
CHARGER AND BATTERY PACK:
Red LED on = Fast charging mode.
Green LED on = Fully charged and in maintenance charge
mode.
Green LED on = When battery pack is inserted into
charger, indicates hot battery pack or that battery pack
is out of normal temperature range.
Yellow and Green LEDs on = Deeply discharged or
defective battery pack.
No LED on = Defective charger or battery pack.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low
charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore,
you should charge it until the green LED on the front of the
charger comes on.
NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they
are charged. Allow several cycles (operation followed by
recharging) for them to become fully charged.
CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK
If battery pack is within normal temperature range, the red
LED on charger will come on.
NOTE: If the charger does not charge the battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack
and charger to your nearest Authorized Service Center for
electrical check.
Charge the battery pack only with the charger provided.
Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
Connect the charger to the power supply.
Place the battery pack in the charger aligning raised rib
on the battery pack with the groove in the charger. See
Figure 2.
Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger.
Normally the red LED on charger will come on. This
indicates the charger is in fast charging mode.
Red LED should remain on for approximately 1 hour then
the green LED will come on. Green LED on indicates
battery pack is fully charged and charger is in maintenance
charge mode.
NOTE: The green LED will remain on until the battery pack
is removed from the charger or charger is disconnected
from the power supply.
OPERATION
If both yellow and green LEDs come on, this indicates a
deeply discharged or defective battery pack. Allow the
battery pack to remain in the charger for 15 to 30 minutes.
When the battery pack reaches normal voltage range, the
red LED should come on. If the red LED does not come
on after 30 minutes, this may indicate a defective battery
pack that should be replaced.
After normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging time
is required to fully recharge battery pack.
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of
extreme heat or cold. They will work best at normal room
temperature.
NOTE: The charger and battery pack should be placed in
a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but
less than 100°F.
When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger
from power supply and remove the battery pack.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using the tool continuously, the batteries in the battery
pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool
down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to
recharge. When the battery pack becomes discharged and
is hot, this will cause the green LED to come on instead of
the red LED. After 30 minutes, reinsert the battery pack in
the charger. If the green LED continues to remain on, return
battery pack to your nearest Authorized Service Center for
checking or replacing.
