BATTERy CHARGED CONDITION INDICATOR (SB18B BATTERy)
Your battery pack is equipped with charge
condition indicator lights (Fig. 16). The
indicator lights shows the charge condition of
the battery during operation.
To check battery charge condition, depress
and hold the button on the backside of the
battery pack.

this indicates the batter pack is fully charged.
CHARGING BATTERy PACK (SC118 OR SC118B CHARGER)
Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet, then slide the battery pack into charger
(Fig. 16).
The charger's green indicator will begin to
"BLINK". This indicates that the battery is
receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will
automatically stop when the battery pack is
fully charged.
When the indicator light stops "BLINKING"
(and becomes a steady green light) fast
charging is complete.
• • • When only three lights illuminate, this
indicates the battery pack is partially charged.
•
indicates the battery pack is slightly charged.
When no lights illuminate, this indicates the
battery pack is completely discharged.
When you begin the charging process of the
battery pack, a steady green light could also
mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.
The purpose of the light is to indicate that the
battery pack is fast-charging. It does not
indicate the exact point of full charge. The light
will stop blinking in less time if the battery pack
was not completely discharged.
When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug
the charger (unless you're charging another
battery pack) and slip the battery pack back
into the tool handle.
