Charger operation

Charging battery pack

Before using the PowerLuber for the first
time, the battery pack should be fully
charged. If the battery pack is installed in the
PowerLuber, remove it and follow charging
procedure.
Lincoln chargers are designed to charge
Lincoln lithium-ion batteries in 30 to 90
minutes depending on the battery's state of
charge and temperature.

Charging procedure

Do not use charger with any voltage other
than what is shown on the charger specifica-
tion plate.
1 Plug charger into an appropriate outlet
before inserting battery pack.
2 Insert battery pack into the charger.
The green (charging) light will blink
continuously indicating that the charging
process has started.
3 Completion of charge is indicated by green
light remaining on continuously. The pack
is fully charged and may be used at this
time.
4 Disconnect charger from power source
when not in use.
Caution

Do not probe charger with conductive
objects. 120 V AC present at charging
terminals.
Failure to comply may result in death
or personal injury.
note
Do not charge battery immediately after
use. Battery will not accept a full charge.
Do not charge until battery has
reached room temperature for best
results.
note
Do not obstruct vent slots in top and
bottom of charger.
Do not charge battery when tempera-
ture is below 40 °F (5 °C) or above
104 °F (40 °C).

Important charging notices

Longest life and best performance can be
obtained if the battery is charged when the
air temperature is between 65 and 75 °F
(18 and 24 °C). Do not charge the battery in
an air temperature below 40 °F (5 °C) or
above 105 °F (41 °C). This is important and
will prevent serious damage to the battery.
1 The charger and battery may become
warm to the touch while charging. This is a
normal condition, and does not indicate a
problem.
2 If the battery does not charge properly:
2.1 Check current at receptacle by plug-
ging in a lamp or other appliance.
2.2 Check to see if the receptacle is
con- nected to a light switch which
turns power off when you turn out the
lights.
2.3 Move charger and battery to a loca-
tion where the surrounding air tem-
perature is between approximately
65 and 75 °F (18 and 24 °C).
2.4 If charging problems persist, take the
tool, battery and charger to your local
service center.

Charger detected a weak or
damaged battery. Stop charging
battery. Hot/cold pack delay.
Charger detected a battery that
is excessively hot or cold. It
automatically starts a hot/cold
pack delay, suspending charging
until temperature of battery has
normalized. After this, charger
automatically switches to bat-
tery charging mode.

3 The battery should be recharged when it
fails to produce sufficient power on jobs.
Do not continue to use under these
con- ditions. Follow the charging proce-
dure. You may also charge a partially used
pack whenever you desire, with no
adverse affect on the battery.
4 Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the
exposed charging contacts of the charger
can be shorted by foreign material.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature
such as, but not limited to, steel wool,
aluminium foil, or any buildup of metallic
particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the
charger from the power supply when
there is no battery in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to
clean.

Warning

Do not allow any liquid inside charger.
Electric shock may result.
To facilitate cooling of battery pack
after use, avoid placing charger or bat-
tery pack in a warm environment such
as a metal shed or a non-insulated
trailer.
Failure to comply may result in
serious injury or death.
