BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER

BATTERY CHARGING
■ Use only with 60V Craftsman battery
chargers. The battery charger supplied is
specifically designed for the Lithium-Ion
battery used in this tool.
■ Check the power voltage! Battery chargers
operate on 120 V.
■ Charge the battery between 35.6°F and
109.4°F. This ensures an optimum battery
service life.
■ Protect the battery from heat, from
continuous exposure to sun and keep away
from radiation or other heat sources. Do not
leave the battery in the tool in direct sunlight
over long periods.
■ The battery is supplied uncharged. Fully
charge the battery before using the tool for
the first time. The Lithium-Ion battery can
be charged at any time without reducing
its service life. Interrupting the charging
procedure does not affect the battery.
CHARGER LEDS
■ If the battery is not inserted into the
charger, a continuous red LED light indicates
that the plug is plugged into an outlet socket
and the battery charger is ready for operation.
■ Charging: a flashing green LED on the
charger indicates that the battery is charging
normally.
■ Charged: continuous green LED on the
charger indicates that the battery is ready for
use.

To Power
■ Technical Issue: a flashing red LED light on
the charger indicates that battery pack has a
charging problem or might be defective.
- One possible condition is the battery
temperature is not within the charging
temperature range of 35.6°F - 109.4°F or
the charging current is too high. As soon as
the permitted temperature and the charging
current ranges are reached, the battery
charger will automatically switch to charging.
- If the temperature range and charging
current are correct and flashing red LED
light continues, then remove and reinstall
the battery pack. If the LED status repeats a
second time, try to charge another identical
battery. If the battery charges normally,
dispose of the defective battery pack (see
Environmental Safe Battery Disposal section).
- If the flashing red light continues after
installing the second battery, the charger may
be defective. Replace with a new one.
■ After continuous or repeated charging
cycles without interruption, the charger
may warm up. This is normal and does not
indicate a technical defect of the battery
charger.
