Installing and Removing the Battery Pack (Fig. 2)
NOTE:
For best results, make sure your
C
FIG. 2
M
battery pack is fully charged.
To install the battery pack (C) into the
tool handle, align the battery pack with
the rails inside the tool’s handle and slide
it into the handle until the battery pack is
firmly seated in the tool and ensure that
it does not disengage.
To remove the battery pack from the
tool, press the release button (M) and
firmly pull the battery pack out of the
tool handle. Insert it into the charger as
described in the charger section of this
manual.
3. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm battery pack. The
battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle
and will not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.
4. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of 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 the charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air
temperature is approximately 18° – 24°C (65°F and 75°F);
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your
local service center.
5. 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 effect on the battery pack.
6. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust,
metal chips, 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 the charger before
attempting to clean.
7. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING:
Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric
shock may result.
WARNING:
Burn hazard. Do not submerge the battery pack in any liquid or allow
any liquid to enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service
center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and
excess heat or cold.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a
cool dry place out of the charger for optimal results.
NOTE:
Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery
pack will need to be recharged before use.
