CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
1.
Place the battery charger (1) in a dry
location near a 110
–120V 60Hz electrical
outlet (Fig. 1).
NOTE:
Square wave output inverters may
damage this charger and the battery.
2.
Turn the battery (2) upside down and slide
it onto the charger.
NOTE:
Make sure the grooves (3) in the
sides of the battery slide over the matching
tabs on the charger (4) until the battery
latch "clicks" into place.
3.
Plug the battery charger into the 110
–120V
60Hz wall receptacle.
NOTES:
a) When the charger is plugged into the wall
receptacle and NO battery is on the charger, the
green indicator light (5) will turn ON indicating
the charger is “live”.
b) When a discharged battery is installed on the
charger, the green indicator light will turn OFF
and the red indicator light (6) will FLASH. The
flashing red indicator light indicates the battery
is being charged.
c) If the red indicator light does not come ON,
check to make sure that the battery pack is slid
fully onto the charger and the electrical outlet is
working properly.
d) See Fig. 2 at right for other indicator light
functions.
e) A new battery pack or one that is completely
run down should be charged for 2 hours before
use. After normal use, a battery pack should be
fully charged in about one hour.
f) It is normal for the battery charger to hum and
be warm to the touch during operation.
g) If the battery pack does not charge properly,
check to make sure the electrical outlet is “live”.
h) Do NOT charge batteries when the work area
or the battery temperature is at or below 0°C
(32°F) or above 45°C (113°F).
