Battery Charging System
The Paslode Cordless
tool
comes with a rechargeable
battery and its own charging system. This battery and
charging system combination is the only one that will work
with all Paslode Cordless tools. It will accept either the
round or oval shaped batteries. The first
step in preparing
a new tool for operation is to fully charge the battery. New
batteries are shipped discharged and must be charged
prior to first use. Batteries will take 5 minutes to 2 hours
(time will be dependant on the amount of discharge within
the battery) to recharge.
Important Charging
Notes
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
Remove wall mount unit with the orange label from
the tool case and plug into a 120V AC outlet. Set
orange charger on a stable surface and insert the
wall mount unit's plug into the plug receptacle on the
back of the charger(see picture). A green light
indicates power is on and charging system is ready.
2.
Remove the battery from tool or case and insert
terminals down into charger. The red light will come
on indicating that the battery is charging and the
green light will go out.
NOTE
If battery is completely discharged the red light and
the green light may alternate back and forth for up to
20 minutes. This safety feature slowly recharges
the battery until it is ready to accept the full charging
current. If the red and green lights continue to
alternate after 20 minutes, replace the battery.
3.
After charging, the red light will go out and the green
light will come on, indicating that the battery is fully
charged. The charger will keep the battery at full
charge until it is removed.
4.
Unplug the wall mount unit from the charger and
remove the wall mount unit from the 120V AC outlet.
