OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Checking the Charge
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
• Check the current at the power outlet with another tool. Make sure that the outlet is not turned off.
Charger Maintenance
• Keep the charger clean and clear of debris. Do not allow foreign material into the recessed cavity or on the contacts. Wipe
with a dry cloth. Do not use solvents, water, or place in wet conditions.
• Always unplug the charger when there is no battery pack in it.
• Give the batteries a full charge before placing in storage. Do not recharge a fully charged battery pack. Overcharging
shortens the battery life.
• Check that the charger contacts have not been shorted by debris or foreign material.

temperature is between 14 and 113˚ F (-10 and 45˚ C).

recharge in a room temperature of 14 to 113˚ F (-10 to 45˚ C). If the battery pack is hot, let it cool down before recharging.
• Disconnect the charger from the AC power outlet when not in use and once battery has reached a full charge.
