Leaving the battery in the charger

the green LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep
the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
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 and 75°F (18°- 24°C). Do not charge
the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F
(+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm
to 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.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance.
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out the
lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where
the surrounding air temperature is approximately
65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C).
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails
to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. Do not continue to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may
also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire
with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, steel wool, aluminum 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 pack in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any
other liquid.
Warning! Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to
get inside charger. 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.
