10.
DO NOT operate the charger with a damaged cord
or plug - have them replaced immediately.
DO NOT operate the charger if it has received a
11.
sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged
in any way. Take it to an authorized service center.
DO NOT disassemble the charger; take it to an
12.
authorized service center when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fire.
Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
13.
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk
of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not
reduce this risk.
14.
NEVER attempt to connect two (2) chargers together.
The charger is designed to operate on standard
15.
120V household electrical power. DO NOT attempt
to use it on any other voltage.
Shock hazard. DO NOT allow any liquid to get inside the
charger. Electric shock may result.
Burn hazard. DO NOT submerge the battery pack in any
liquid or allow any liquid to enter the battery pack. Never
attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the
plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks,
return to a service center for recycling.
Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only
original manufacturer rechargeable battery packs. Other
types of batteries may overheat and burst resulting in
personal injury and property damage.
Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into
the power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign
material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such
as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel
wool, aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from the charger cavities. Always
unplug the charger from the power supply when there is
no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before
attempting to clean.

Charging a Battery

NOTE:
To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion
battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting battery pack.
2. Connect the charger and battery pack, making sure
the battery is fully seated. The (charging) light will
blink continuously indicating that the charging process
has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the light
remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully
charged and may be removed and used at this time or left
in the charger.
NOTE:
To remove the battery pack, some chargers require the
battery pack release button to be pressed.
Indicators
Charging
Fully Charged
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
A charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger
refusing to light could indicate a problem with the charger.
NOTE:
If the charger refuses to light, take the charger and battery
pack to be tested at an authorized service center.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too
cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending
charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the pack
charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery pack life.
A cold battery pack may charge at a slower rate than a warm
battery pack.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature
is between (65° F - 75° F (18° C - 24° C). DO NOT charge
when the battery pack is below +40° F (+4.5° C), or
above +104° F (+40° C). This is important and will
prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulated trailer.
