Battery And Charging System
The Duo-Fast Cordless
rechargeable battery and its own charging system. This
charging system is the only one that will work with all
Duo-Fast batteries. It will accept an oval shaped battery.
The first step in preparing a new tool for operation is to fully
charge the battery. New batteries are shipped discharged
and must be charged prior to first use. Batteries will take
5 minutes to 2 hours (time will be dependant on the amount
of discharge within the battery) to recharge.
Important Charging Notes
Battery Disposal:
The Duo-Fast batteries contain cadmium and must be
recycled or disposed of properly. It is illegal in some
areas to place a nickel-cadmium battery into the trash or
solid waste stream. You may contact your local recycling
center for information on where to return the spent battery
or call 1-800-822-8837 for information on Ni-Cd battery
recycling in your area.

Charging Instructions:
1. Remove wall mount unit with the orange label from
the tool case and plug into a 120V AC outlet. Set the
charger on a stable surface and insert the wall mount
unit's plug into the plug receptacle on the back of the
charger(see picture). A green light indicates power is
on and charging system is ready.
2. Remove the battery from tool or case and insert
terminals down into charger. The red light will come
on indicating that the battery is charging and the
green light will go out.
If battery is completely discharged the red light and
the green light may flash back and forth for up to
20 minutes. This safety feature slowly recharges
the battery until it is ready to accept the full charging
current. If the red and green lights continue to
flash after 20 minutes, replace the battery.
3. After charging, the red light will go out and the green
light will come on, indicating that the battery is fully
charged. The charger will keep the battery at full
charge until it is removed.
