Charging Procedure (fig. A & B)
The standard charger provided will charge a fully depleted
battery in about 2 hours. A 80% charge is available in 1 hour.
u
Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
the battery pack
.
u
Insert the battery pack into the charger as shown in figure
A.
u
The green LED (figure A1) will flash indicating that
the battery is being charged.
u
The completion of charge is indicated by the green
LED (figure A1) remaining on continuously. The pack is
fully charged and may be used at this time or left on the
charger.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible after use
or battery life may be greatly diminished.
CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can
arise with the battery packs or the power source. Problems
are indicated by one LED (figure A1) flashing in different
patterns.
BAD BATTERY
The charger can detect a weak or damaged bat-
tery. The red LED flashes in the pattern indicated
on the label. If you see this bad battery blink
pattern, do not continue to charge the battery.
Return it to a service center or a collection site
for recycling.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
When the charger detects a battery that is
excessively hot or excessively cold, it automati-
cally starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending
charging until the battery has normalized. After
this happens, the charger automatically switches
to the Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery life. The red LED flashes in the
pattern indicated on the label when the hot / cold
pack delay is detected
.
LEAVING THE BATTERY IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
green LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the bat-
tery pack fresh and fully charged.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
u
Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 60°F and 80°F (16°- 27°C). DO NOT charge the
battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C),
or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will
prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
u
The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch
while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not
indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery
pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack
in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an
uninsulated trailer.
u
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or
other appliance
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch
which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately 60°F - 80°F
(16° - 27°C).
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack
and charger to your local service center.
u
The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done
previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse affect on the battery pack.
u
Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup
of metallic particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply
when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger
before attempting to clean.
u
Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other
liquid.
