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 °C – 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.
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.

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.
Versatrack™
CRAFTSMAN chargers can be mounted to the wall using
CRAFTSMAN Versatrack™ Trackwall. Hooks and accessories
are sold separately. Please refer to the Versatrack™ Trackwall
accessory sheet for further information.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS


WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
Attaching the Auxiliary Handle (Fig. A)

WARNING: This handle SHOULD BE USED AT ALL
TIMES to maintain complete control of the tool.
Always make sure the handle is tight.
Screw the auxiliary handle 7 tightly into one of the
threaded mounting holes of the gear case.
Guards

CAUTION: Guards must be used with all grinding
wheels, sanding flap discs, wire brushes, and
wire wheels. The tool may be used without a guard
only when sanding with conventional sanding discs.
Refer to Figure A to see guards provided with the
unit. Some applications may require purchasing the
correct guard from your local dealer or authorized
service center.
nOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with
Type 27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose;
0.25" (6.35 mm) thick wheels are designed for surface
grinding while thinner Type 27 wheels need to be examined
for the manufacturer's label to see if they can be used for
surface grinding or only edge grinding/cutting.
nOTE: See the Accessories Chart to select the proper
guard / accessory combination.
Mounting and Removing Guard (Type 27)
Mounting guard (Fig. B)
1. Open the guard latch lever 9 , and align the arrow on
the gear case 21 with the arrow 22 on the guard.
2. Push the guard down until the guard lugs 13 engage
and rotate freely in the groove on the gear case hub.
3. With the guard latch open, rotate the guard into the
desired working position. The guard body should be
positioned between the spindle and the operator to
provide maximum operator protection.
4. Close the guard latch to secure the guard on the gear
case cover. You should not be able to rotate the guard
by hand when the latch is closed. Do not operate
the grinder with a loose guard or the clamp lever in
open position.
