Charging Battery Pack
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1.
The charger was designed to fast
charge the battery only when the
battery temperature is between 32˚F
(0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). If the
battery pack is too hot or too cold,
the charger will not fast charge the
battery. (This may happen if the
battery pack is hot from heavy use).
When the battery temperature
returns to between 32˚F (0˚C) and
113˚F (45˚C), the charger will
automatically begin charging.
2.
A substantial drop in operating time
per charge may mean that the battery
pack is nearing the end of its life and
should be replaced.
3.
Remember to unplug charger during
storage period.
4.
If battery does not charge properly:
a.
Check for voltage at outlet by
plugging in some other electrical
device.
b.
Check to see if outlet is connected
to a light switch which turns power
"off" when lights are turned off.
c.
Check battery pack terminals for
dirt. Clean with cotton swab and
alcohol if necessary.
d.
If you still do not get proper
charging, take or send tool, battery
pack and charger to your local
Dremel Service Center.
Note: Use of chargers or battery packs
not recommended by Dremel in the
battery/charger list will void the
warranty.
DREMEL CHARGER GAL12V-20
Plug charger cord into your standard
power outlet, then insert battery pack
10 into charger (Fig. 8).
If the indicator lights are "OFF", the
charger is not receiving power from
power supply outlet.
The charger's green indicator light will
begin to "BLINK". This indicates that the
battery is receiving a fast charge. Fast-
charging will automatically stop when
the battery pack is fully charged.
Operating Instructions

When
the
indicator
"BLINKING" (and becomes a steady
green light) fast charging is complete.
The battery pack may be used even
though the light may still be blinking.
The light may require more time to stop
blinking depending on temperature.
The purpose of the blinking green light
is to indicate that the battery pack is
fast-charging. It does not indicate the
exact point of full charge. The light will
stop blinking in less time if the battery
pack was not completely discharged.
If the green indicator light is "ON", the
charger is plugged in but the battery
pack is not inserted, or the battery pack
is fully charged, or the battery pack is
too hot or cold for fast-charging. The
charger will automatically switch to fast-
charging once a suitable temperature is
reached.
When charging several batteries in
sequence, the charge time may slightly
increase.
When the battery pack is fully charged,
unplug the charger (unless you're
charging another battery pack) and slip
the battery pack back into the tool.
