To preserve natural resources, please
recycle or dispose of batteries

batteries. Local, state or federal laws
may prohibit disposal of lithium-ion
batteries in ordinary trash.
Consult your local waste authority for information regarding
available recycling and/or disposal options.
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 compo-
nents. Lithium-ion batteries must be recycled or disposed

Li - Ion
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 50°F
but less than 100°F.
When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger
from the power supply and remove the battery pack.
To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress
the latches on each side of 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.
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 Authorized Service Center for electrical check.
BatterIes
These batteries have been designed to provide maximum
trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will even-
tually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and at-
tempt 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 pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
80°F and away from moisture.
Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged condition.
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as
normal.
