APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the following purpose:
Charging compatible 19.2 Volt Craftsman battery
packs
NOTE: Battery packs will charge one at a time, in the
order they are inserted into the battery ports. Charger
does NOT charge multiple batteries at one time.
CAUTION:
If at any point during the charging
process none of the LEDs are lit, remove the battery
pack from the charger to avoid damaging the
product. DO NOT insert another battery. Return the
charger and battery to your nearest service center
for service or replacement.
CAUTION:
Charge in a well ventilated area. Do not
block charger vents. Keep them clear to allow proper
ventilation.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
19.2 V lithium-ion battery packs are designed with
features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize
battery life.
If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset
and resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the
battery needs to be recharged.
NOTE: The LED charge indicator light will not work if the
battery protection feature has caused the battery pack
to stop powering the tool. When the battery pack resets
itself, the LED will again function.
LED FUNCTIONS OF CHARGER
See Figures 4 and 5, pages ii - iii.
BATTERY PORT LED WILL BE ON TO INDICATE
STATUS OF BATTERY PACK:
Red LED on, Green LED off = Ready to charge battery
pack.
Red LED flashing, Green LED off = Battery is being
tested.
OPERATION
Red LED /Green LED flashing at the same time =
Battery is defective.
Red LED on, Green LED flashing = Battery is charging.
Red LED off, Green LED on = Battery is fully charged.
Red LED/Green LED flashing alternately = Port error.
The battery pack is not properly inserted in the battery
port.
NOTE: If the battery pack is correctly inserted, and
the Port Error LEDs are still flashing, do not insert the
battery pack into a different port. It may be defective.
C3 STATUS INDICATOR BUTTON FUNCTIONS
C3 button is off = Power is off.
C3 button shows continuous blue light = Power is on.
C3 button continuously blinking on/off = Charger is
in maintenance mode, keeping the battery pack in
charged status.
C3 button continuously fades on/off = Charger is in
energy save (sleep) mode. Pressing the C3 button will
power the charger on again.
C3 button alternately fades on/off, then blinks on/off =
Status alert. Push the C3 button to check the status of
battery packs in charger ports. The LEDs for the pack with
the error will begin to flash when the C3 button is pressed.
CHARGING A BATTERY PACK
See Figure 6, page ii.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
them before first use. If the charger does not charge the
battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the
battery pack and charger to your nearest repair center for
electrical check.
Make sure the power supply is normal household
voltage, 120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
Connect the charger to a power supply.
Attach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the
raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the
charger, then slide the battery pack onto the charger.
Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger.
Latches should snap into place to ensure battery is
correctly connected.
Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It 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 96°F.
The battery pack may become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
