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.
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 +105°F (+40.5°C). This is
important and will prevent serious
damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may
become warm to 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 current at 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 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 under these conditions. Follow
the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever
you desire with no adverse affect on the
battery pack.
5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature
such as, but not limited to, 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
charger before attempting to clean.

water or any other liquid.
