LED FUNCTIONS
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to pre-
vent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge prior
to first use. 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 recommended
charger.
 Refer to charger operator's manual for charging
instructions.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the battery pack may be-
come hot. A hot battery pack may be placed directly onto
the charger port but charging will not begin until the battery
temperature cools to within acceptable temperature range.

When a hot battery pack is placed on the charger, the charger
may indicate the pack is not ready to charge. Please refer
to charger operator's manual. When the battery pack cools,
the charger will automatically begin charging.
CHARGING A COLD BATTERY PACK
A cold battery pack may be placed directly onto the charger
port but charging will not begin until the battery tempera-
ture warms to within acceptable temperature range. When
a cold battery pack is placed on the charger, the charger
may indicate the pack is not ready to charge. Please refer to
charger operator's manual. When the battery pack warms,
the charger will automatically begin charging.
MAINTENANCE
BATTERIES
These batteries have been designed to provide maximum
trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will even-
tually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and at-
tempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries,
especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in
a serious burn.
Fig. 1
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest
the following:
 Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully
charged and ready for use.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
 Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
80°F and away from moisture.
 Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged condition.
 Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND PREPARATION

with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to
destroy or disassemble battery pack or remove any
of its components. Batteries must be recycled or

nals with metal objects and/or body parts as short

To preserve natural resources, please recycle
or dispose of batteries properly.
