then the green LED will come on. Green LED on
indicates battery pack is fully charged and charger is
in maintenance charge mode.
NOTE:
The green LED will remain on until the battery pack
is removed from the charger or charger isdisconnected
from the power supply.
If both yellow and green LEDs come on, this indicates
a deeply discharged or defective battery pack. Allow
the battery pack to remain in the charger for 15 to
30 minutes. When the battery pack reaches normal
voltage range, the red LED should come on. If the
red LED does not come on after 30 minutes, this
may indicate a defective battery pack and should be
replaced.
After normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging
time is required to fully recharge battery pack.
The battery pack will become slightly warm to touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate
a problem.
Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area
of extreme heat or cold. They will work best at normal
room temperature.
NOTE:
The charger and battery pack should be placed in
a location where the temperature is more than 10°C but
less than 37°C.
When batteries become fully charged, unplug the
charger from power supply and remove the battery
pack.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the batteries in the battery
pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack
cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting
to recharge. When the battery pack becomes discharged
and is hot, this will cause the green LED to come on
instead of the red LED. After 30 minutes, reinsert the
battery pack in the charger. If the green LED continues
to remain on, return battery pack to your nearest Ryobi
Authorised Service Centre for checking or replacing.
NOTE:
This situation only occurs when continuous use
of a tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not
occur under normal circumstances. Refer to
“CHARGING
A COOL BATTERY PACK”
for normal recharging of
batteries. If the charger does not charge your battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack
and charger to your nearest Ryobi Authorised Service
Centre for electrical check.
BATTERIES
The battery pack is equipped with nickel-cadmium
rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each
charg ing will depend on the type of work you are doing.
The batteries have been designed to provide maximum
trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will
eventually wear out.
Do not
disassemble battery pack
and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these
batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry,
could result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is
fully charged and ready for use.
For battery storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the tem per a ture is below
27°C.
Store battery packs in a “discharged” condition.
WARNING
Upon removal, cover the battery pack’
s terminals
with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to
destroy or disassemble battery pack or remove any
of its components. Nickel-cadmium batteries must be
recycled or disposed of properly. Also, never touch both
terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short
circuit may result. Keep away from children. Failure to
comply with these warnings could result in fi re and/or
serious injury.
