NOTICE:
If charge does not appear to initiate or appears

into a power supply (outlet) and that the power
supply is energized. If so, try charging a different
battery pack. If the different battery pack charges
properly, then return the battery pack that did not
charge properly. If a different battery pack does not
charge, return the charger and the battery pack.
Make returns to the nearest authorized service
center for service or replacement.

KEY HOLE HANGER
See Figure 1, page 7.
The charger has a key hole hanging feature for convenient,
space saving mounting. Screws should be installed so that
the center distance is 4.75 in.
PASS-THROUGH PLUG
See Figure 2, page 7.
The charger features one AC pass-through plug, allowing
you to connect an additional device to the same AC outlet
the charger is using.
CHARGING
See Figure 3, page 7.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
them before first use. If the charger does not charge your
battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the
battery pack and charger to your nearest repair center for
electrical check.
Charge time varies and is dependent upon the amp hour
capacity and charge level of the battery pack.
Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
Connect the charger to a power supply.
Attach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the
raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the
charger, then slide the battery pack onto the charger.
Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on the
battery pack engage properly with contacts in the charger.
Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
The battery pack may become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
After charging is complete, the green LED will remain on.
When the battery pack is fully charged, remove it from
the charger.
