WARNING:

open the battery pack for any reason. If battery

pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert

into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage

battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or

charger that has received a sharp blow, been

dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e.,

pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped

on). Damaged battery packs should be returned

to service center for recycling.

WARNING:

not store or carry battery so that metal

objects can contact exposed battery

terminals. For example, do not place battery

in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit

boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails,

screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries

can possibly cause fires if the battery

terminals inadvertently come in contact

with conductive materials such as keys,

coins, hand tools and the like. The US

Department of Transportation Hazardous

Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit

transporting batteries in commerce or on

airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and

carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly

protected from short circuits. So when

transporting individual batteries, make sure

that the battery terminals are protected and

well insulated from materials that could

contact them and cause a short circuit.

NOTE:

Lithium-Ion batteries should not

be put in checked baggage.

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: Do not store the battery packs in

a tool with the trigger switch locked on.

Never tape the trigger switch in the ON

position.

NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored

completely depleted of charge. The battery pack

will need to be recharged before use.

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate

outlet before inserting the battery pack.

2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.

3. The green LED will flash indicating

that the battery is being charged.

4. The completion of charge is

indicated by the green LED

remaining on continuously. The pack is

fully charged and may be used at this time

or left on the charger.

Recharge discharged batteries as soon

as possible after use or battery life may

be greatly diminished.

CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS

This charger is designed to detect certain

problems that can arise with the battery packs

or the power source. Problems are indicated by

one LED flashing in different patterns.

BAD BATTERY

The charger can detect a weak or

damaged battery. The red LED

flashes in the pattern indicated on the

label. If you see this bad battery blink

pattern, do not continue to charge the

battery. Return it to a service center or a

collection site for recycling.

HOT/COLD PACK DELAY

When the charger detects a battery

that is excessively hot or excessively

cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack

Delay, suspending charging until the battery

has normalized. After this happens, the

charger automatically switches to the Pack

Charging mode. This feature ensures

maximum battery life. The red LED flashes in

the pattern indicated on the label when the

hot / cold pack delay is detected.

LEAVING THE BATTERY IN THE CHARGER

The charger and battery pack can be left

connected with the green LED glowing

indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery

pack fresh and fully charged.
