a corner or other obstructions which may impede air flow.
Use the back of the charger as a template for the location
of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger
securely using drywall screws (purchased separately) at least
1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of 0.28–0.35"
(7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving
approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw exposed. Align the
slots on the back of the charger with the exposed screws and
fully engage them in the slots.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions.
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 +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.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of 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 the 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 effect on the battery pack.
5. 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 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.
6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any
other liquid.

Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully
charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of the
charger for optimal results.
nOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
