INSERTING AND RELEASING
BATTERY PACK
Release battery pack from tool by pressing on
both sides of the battery release tabs and pull
away from housing (Fig. 7).
To insert battery, align battery and slide
battery pack into tool until it locks into position.
Do not force.
CHARGER INDICATORS, SYMBOLS
AND MEANING
If the indicator lights are "OFF", the charger
is not receiving power from power supply
outlet.
If the green indicator light is
"BLINKING", the battery
pack is being fast-charged.
Fast-charging will automatically stop when
the battery pack is fully charged.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery temperature
is between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). If the
battery pack is too hot or too cold, the charger
will not fast charge the battery. (This may
happen if the battery pack is hot from heavy
use). When the battery temperature returns to
between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C), the
charger will automatically begin charging.
2. A substantial drop in operating time per
charge may mean that the battery pack is
nearing the end of its life and should be replaced.
3. Remember to unplug charger during storage
period.
4. If battery does not charge properly:
Fast-charging means that the battery will be
fully charged in one hour.
If the green indicator light is
"ON",
plugged in but the battery
pack is not inserted, or the battery pack is
fully charged, or the battery pack is too hot or
cold for fast-charging. The charger will
automatically switch to fast-charging once a
suitable temperature is reached.
a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in
some other electrical device.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a
light switch which turns power "off" when lights
are turned off.
c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt.
Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if
necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging,
take or send tool, battery pack and charger to
your local Dremel Service Center.
Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not
sold by Dremel will void the warranty.
