are charged. Allow several cycles (cutting followed by re-
charging) for them to fully charge.

■ After normal usage, 1 hour of charge time is required to
be fully charged. A minimum charge time of 1 to 1-1/2
hours is required to recharge a completely discharged
tool.
■ The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
■ DO NOT place charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING
HOT BATTERIES
When using your saw continuously, the batteries in your
battery pack become hot. You should let a hot battery pack
cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to
recharge.
Note: This situation occurs when continuous use of your saw
causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur under
normal circumstances. Refer to "Charging Your Battery
Pack" for normal recharging of batteries. If the charger does
not charge your battery pack under normal circumstances,
return both the battery pack and charger to your nearest
Ryobi Authorized Service Center for electrical check.
