CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Battery packs for this tool are shipped in a low charge
condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you
should charge it until the green LED on the front of the
charger comes on.
NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they
are charged. Allow several cycles (operation followed by
recharging) for them to become fully charged.
CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK
If battery pack is within normal temperature range, the red
LED on charger will come on.
NOTE:
If the charger does not charge the battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack
and charger to your nearest Ryobi Authorised Service
Centre forelectrical check.

voltage,
240 volts, 50 Hz, AC only.
n Connect the charger to the power supply.

n Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger.
n
Normally the red LED on charger will come on. This
indicates the charger is in fast charging mode.
n Red LED should remain on for approximately 1 hour
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 is
disconnected from the power supply.
n 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.
n The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.

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 0°C but
