Battery Operation
Charging the Battery
Only use the included charger to charge
the battery for the Mini-Press Battery Tool.
Charge the battery before initial operation.
1. Remove the charger from the case.
2. Plug the charger into a standard outlet.
3. Ensure the vent slots in the top and bottom of the charger are
not obstructed.
4. Insert the battery into the charger (+ pole to + pole) with
minimum force.
5. The green light-emitting diode (LED) on the right side of the charger
(opposite the + pole) illuminates to indicate the battery is charging.
Recharge time takes approximately 40 minutes. The green LED will turn
yellow when the battery is 90% charged. Once charging is complete, the
LED turns green and flashes. Refer to
Table 3-1
on
page 6
for additional
LED definitions.
Note:
Battery temperature increases during and shortly after use. Batteries
may not accept a full charge if they are charged immediately after use.
Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before charging.
Caution:
Do not use the charger at ambient temperatures of
less than 50°F (10°C) or greater than 104°F (40°C).
Battery Handling
The Mini-Press Battery Tool uses rechargeable batteries
containing nickel cadmium (NiCad) cells. To effectively and
properly use the batteries, keep the following in mind.
• Recharge cool batteries only.
• The battery can recharge 1,000 times, and reaches
full capacity after several charges.
• Store batteries at temperatures greater than 50°F (10°C), but less than
104°F (40°C), to optimize battery life.
• Only recharge the battery after it is drained of power.
• Do not use the charger if dropped or damaged.
• Do not connect two chargers together.
• Keep the battery in a frost-free, dry place.
