Remove the battery pack from the tool when
convenient for you and your job. “Top off”
the battery pack charge by charging it for a
time before starting a big job or long period
of use.
Due to Lithium-Ion fade-free properties,
the only time it is necessary to charge the
Lithium-Ion battery pack is when the pack
has reached the end of its charge. To signal
the end of charge, power to the tool will drop
quickly. Charge the battery pack as needed.
HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
PACK
NOTE:
This Lithium-Ion battery pack is
shipped partially charged. Before using it the
first time, fully charge the battery pack.
A fully discharged battery pack will charge
in about 30 minutes in a surrounding
temperature between 50°F (10°C) and 104°F
(40°C).
1. Charge the Lithium-Ion battery pack with
the correct charger.
2. Connect the charger to a power supply.
3. Align the raised ribs of the battery pack
with the slot in the charger.
4. Insert the battery pack into the charger
(Fig. 2).
5. The charger will communicate with the
battery pack to evaluate the condition of
the battery pack.
6. The green lights on the charger will
flash while the battery pack is charging.
After charging is complete, the green
LED on the charger will remain on. The
flickering red light indicates a defective
battery or a bad connection between
the battery and the charger.
7. The battery pack will fully charge if left on
the charger, but it will not overcharge.
NOTE:
For your convenience, the charger
can operate with most generators and
inverters rated at 300 watts or higher.
