CHARGING PROCEDURE
1 Hour Charger
1) Plug the charger into the appropriate outlet.
2) Insert the battery pack into the charger making sure the
pack is fully seated. The red (charging) light will blink
continuously indicating that the charging process has
started.
3) The battery pack will be fully charged in about 1 hour. The
completion of the charge will be indicated by the red light
remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and
may be used at this time or left in the charger.
Trouble Indicator
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can
arise with battery packs. The red indicator light will flash at
a fast rate. If this occurs, reinsert battery pack. If the
problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if
the charger is OK. If the new pack charges correctly, then
the original pack is defective and should be recycled.
Leaving the battery pack into the charger
When the red light remains on, the charger has switched to
its "equalize charge" mode which last about 4 hours, after
which the charger will switch to "maintenance mode". The
battery pack can be remove at any time during these cycles
but will only be fully charged if the red light is continuously
on. The battery pack and the charger can be left connected
with the red light glowing indefinitely. This will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged.
Important Charging Notes:
“ Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the
battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 65
o
F and 75
o
F. Do not charge the battery pack
in an air temperature below +40
o
F or above +105
o
F. This
is important and will prevent serious damage to the
battery pack.
“ While charging, the charger and battery pack may be-
come warm. This is a normal condition and does not
indicate a problem.
“ If a battery does not charge properly – 1.) Check current
at receptacle by plugging in a lamp –or- other appliance;
2.) Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch
that turns power off when you turn out the lights; 3.) Move
charger and battery pack to a surrounding air tempera-
ture b40
oF
to +105
o
F; 4.) If the receptacle and
temperature are satisfactory, and you do not get proper
charging, take –or- send the batteries and charger to your
local Eastman representative for service.
“ The battery pack should be recharged when they fail to
produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily per-
formed previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use the
machine with its batteries in a depleted condition.
