DIAGNOSTICS
The Model 8924 Charger is equipped with a diagnostic system that automatically
checks the battery pack each time a pack is inserted into the charger. If no
problems are found, the charger will automatically switch to "Fast Charge" mode
as described in NORMAL CHARGING.
If a problem is found, it will be indicated by the charger indicator lights.
• Make sure that the power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the
charger specification plate. Connect the charger to the power source. The
red and green lights will flash once to indicate that the power is connected
properly and that the charger is ready for operation.
• If the green light flashes slowly after the battery pack is inserted in
charger, the battery pack temperature is either too high or too low for
charging. If left alone, the charger will continue to monitor the battery
pack temperature and will begin charging when the temperature reaches
an acceptable level.
• If the red light flashes continuously, the battery pack has failed (pack is
not chargeable and requires replacement).
As a battery pack approaches the discharged state, you will notice a sharp drop
in tool performance. When the tool is unable to perform, recharge the battery
pack. Recharging the battery pack before this condition is reached will reduce the
total work life of the pack. Discharging the pack beyond this point can damage
the pack.
NOTE: Battery temperature will increase during and shortly after use. Batteries
may not accept a full charge if they are charged immediately after use. Allow the
battery pack to cool to room temperature before charging for best results.
The battery charger may rest on the four pads provided on the bottom of the case
or be mounted on a wall by utilizing the two key hole slots provided.
104°F (40°C).
