IMPORTANT NOTES FOR CHARGING BATTERY
The battery in your new tool is not charged when it leaves the plant. Therefore it must be full charged before using the first
time.
NOTE:
If the battery pack is very hot you must remove your battery pack from the charger and allow your battery pack to cool
first to ambient temperature and then recharging can be started.
To prevent damage to the Battery Pack, when charge runs out, please charge the battery to reach full or no less than half
charge before storage.
If the tool will not be used for long periods of time, charge the battery every 3-6 months.

1) Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet. The light will be green.
2) Slide the battery pack into the charger, the light will turn to red to indicate the charging process has started.
3) When charging is completed, the light will turn to green. The pack is now fully charged, unplug the charger
and remove the battery pack.
WARNING:
When battery charge runs out after continuously use or exposure to direct sunlight or heat,
allow time for the tool to cool down before re-charging to achieve the full charge.
