■
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If the plastic housing of the battery
pack breaks or cracks, immediately
discontinue use and do not recharge.
■
Do not carry extra battery packs in aprons,
pockets, or toolboxes along with metal objects.
Battery pack could be short-circuited causing
damage to the battery pack and possibly
causing severe burns or fire.
■
Charge the battery packs only in a Trend
charger.
■
Do not charge the tool in a damp or wet
environment.
■
Longest life and best performance can be
obtained if the battery pack is charged when
the air temperature is between 18°C and 24°C.
DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air
temperature below 4.5°C, or above 40.5°C.
This is important and will prevent serious
damage to the battery pack.
■
The charger and battery pack may become
warm to touch while charging. This is a normal
condition, and does not indicate a problem.
■
To prevent overheating, do not cover the
charger and do not charge battery packs in
direct sunlight or near heat sources.
■
If the battery pack does not charge properly:-
1. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a
lamp or other appliance.
2. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a
light switch, which turns power off when you
turn out the lights.
3. Move charger and battery pack to a location
where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 18°C and 24°C.
4. If charging problems persist, take or send
the tool, battery pack and charger to a Trend
Service Agent.
■
The battery pack should be recharged when it
fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which
were easily done previously. DO NOT
CONTINUE to use if the battery pack does not
charge properly. Follow the charging
procedure. You may also charge a partially
used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse affect on the battery pack.
■
Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged in to the power supply, the exposed
charging contacts inside the charger can be
shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of
a conductive nature such as, but not limited to,
steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of
metallic particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the charger
from the power supply when there is no battery
pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
■
Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or
any other liquid.
Do not allow any liquid to get inside
charger. Electric shock may result. To
facilitate the cooling of the battery pack
after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment
such as in a metal shed, or an un-
insulated trailer.
Never attempt to open the battery pack
for any reason. If the plastic housing of
the battery pack breaks or cracks, do
not use.
Read all of the instructions in the
battery charger section of this manual
before attempting to charge the battery
pack for your tool.
■
Always use correct battery pack (pack supplied
with tool or exact replacement pack). Never
install any other battery pack as it will ruin your
tool and may create a hazardous condition.
