NOTE: 

This could also mean a problem with a charger.

PROBLEM POWERLINE

Some chargers have a problem powerline indicator. When the charger is used with 

some portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the 

charger may temporarily suspend operation, flashing the red light with two fast blinks 

followed by a pause. This indicates the power source is out of limits.

Important Charging Notes

  1.  Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged 

when the air temperature is between 18 ° – 24 °C (65 °F and 75 °F). DO NOT 

charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +4 °C (+40 °F), or above 

+40 °C (+105 °F). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the 

battery pack.

  2.  The charger and battery pack may become warm to the 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.

  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.
