GENERAL SAFETY RULES

 

Always remove battery pack before storing the device.

 

When battery becomes fully charged, unplug the charger 

from the power supply and remove the battery pack from 

the charger.

 

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked 

to comply with ANSI Z87.1. 

Failure to do so could result 

in objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible 

serious injuries.

 

Keep battery pack dry, clean, and free from oil and 

grease. 

Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use 

brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any 

solvents to clean battery pack.

 

Save these instructions. 

Refer to them frequently and use 

them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan 

someone this tool, loan them these instructions also to pre-

vent misuse of the product and possible injury.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

WARNING: 

This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to 

the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and 

other reproductive harm. 

Wash hands after handling.

WARNING! 

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 

Failure 

to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric 

shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. 

 

Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical 

outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. 

Be aware of possible hazards when not using your bat-

tery tool or when changing accessories. 

Following this 

rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious 

personal injury.

 

Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire 

or heat. 

This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly 

injury.

  

Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use 

a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or 

received a sharp blow. 

A damaged battery is subject to 

explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged bat-

tery immediately.

 

Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of 

ignition, such as a pilot light. 

To reduce the risk of serious 

personal injury, never use any cordless product in the pres-

ence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris 

and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.

 

Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. 

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.

 

For use only with 24 V Li-Ion chargers

, see tool/appliance/

battery pack/charger correlation supplement 988000-446.

 

Do not charge battery in an area of extreme heat or cold. 

It will work best at normal room temperature. 

To reduce 

the risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside or in 

vehicles.

 

Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery 

leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your 

skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid 

gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at 

least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. 

Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal 

injury.

 

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other 

metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, 

or other small metal objects that can make a connection 

from one terminal to another. 

Shorting the battery terminals 

together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

 

Always remove battery pack from your tool when you 

are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, 

or when not in use. 

Removing battery pack will prevent 

accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury.

24 VOLT  
LITHIUM-ION  
BATTERY PACK

OP242/OP243

Use this battery pack for Ryobi 24 V cordless products only. 

Refer to the Operator’s Manual provided with product. Always 

mention the model number above when communicating with 

us regarding this battery pack.

RYOBI LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS

Lithium-ion batteries deliver fade free power for their entire run 

time. 24 V lithium-ion tools will not gradually lose power due 

to decreasing battery charge. Instead, power from the battery 

pack will drop from full to zero once the full charge has been 

drained from the battery. Once this happens, recharging of the 

battery is required. It is not necessary to drain the battery pack 

completely before recharging. 

BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES

Ryobi 24 V lithium-ion battery packs are designed with features 

that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life. 
If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset and 

resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the battery 

needs to be recharged.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

The lithium-ion battery pack can be used in temperatures down 

to –4°F. Put the battery pack on a tool and use the tool in a light 

duty application. After about a minute, the pack will warm up 

and begin operating normally.
