Charger
Be sure to read all safety instructions before using your charger. Consult the chart at the end of this
manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
Charging a Battery (Fig. 1)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger, making sure the battery pack is fully seated in the
charger. The red (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the charging process has
started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The
battery pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery
pack fully before first use.

Charger Operation

Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the battery pack.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay*
* The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this
operation. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light
will turn off and the charger will resume the charging procedure.
The charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by
refusing to light.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
If the charger indicates a problem, 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 will charge at a slower rate than a warm battery pack. The battery pack will
charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to maximum
charge rate even if the battery pack warms.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS ONLY
Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack
against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection System engages. If this occurs, place
the lithium-ion battery pack on the charger until it is 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 +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 the receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance;
b. Check to see if the receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns the 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 it 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 it.
6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Don't allow any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric shock may
result.
WARNING: 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 it to a service center for recycling.

Wall Mounting

These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall
mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from 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.

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.
