The charging completion will be indicated by a steady battery indicator LED. The pack is fully
charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold
Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature.
The charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum
battery pack life.
ELECTRONIC PROTECTION SYSTEM
Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack
against overloading, overheating or deep discharge. The tool will automatically turn off if the
Electronic Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-ion battery pack on the
charger until it is fully charged.

When the appliance is turned ON
When charging a battery pack, a large battery image is displayed in the center of the LCD screen
showing the battery pack charging status.
Green Battery icon will be displayed ONLY when the unit is fully
charged
When the unit is powered by battery, the unit will display battery
empty icon for 3 seconds and then turn off automatically
Hot Delay
This charger has a hot delay feature: when the charger detects a
battery that is hot, the red icon is shown and it automatically starts
a delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled, and the
icon turns blue. After the battery has cooled down, the charger
automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature
ensures maximum battery life.
Faulty Battery Packs
This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will
indicate faulty battery pack by displaying an X on the LCD battery
image. If this occurs, re-insert the battery pack into the charger. If
the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the
charger is working properly. If the new pack charges correctly, then
the original pack is defective and should be returned to a service
center or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack
elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have the charger
and the battery pack tested at an authorized service center.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, turn the appliance off and disconnect it from the power
outlet when not in use and when making repairs. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit; take it
to an authorized service center when service or repair is required.
