Set Forward/Reversing lever to the center (off
position). Slide charged battery pack into the
housing until the battery pack locks into
position (Fig. 8).
Your tool is equipped with a secondary locking
latch to prevent the battery pack from
completely falling out of the handle, should it
become loose due to vibration.

BATTERY PACK

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.
