Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, and cautionary markings for the battery pack, charger
and product. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
•
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than a CRAFTSMAN charger.
CRAFTSMAN
chargers and battery packs are specifically designed to work together.
•
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging CRAFTSMAN rechargeable batteries.
Any other
uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
•
Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
This will reduce the risk of damage to the
electric plug and cord.
•
Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
•
Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary.
Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of
fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry location and use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
•
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.
The smaller the gauge
number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to
make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Charging a Battery
NOTE:
To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack.
2. Connect the charger and battery pack, making sure the battery is fully seated. The (charging) light will blink
continuously indicating that the charging process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully charged
and may be removed and used at this time or left in the charger.
NOTE:
To remove the battery pack, some chargers require the battery pack release button to be pressed.
Indicators
Charging
Fully Charged
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
A charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger refusing to light could indicate a problem with the charger.
NOTE:
If the charger refuses to light, take the charger and battery pack to be tested at an authorized service center.
Leaving the Battery Pack In the Charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge indicator showing pack charged.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery pack life.
A cold battery pack may charge at a slower rate than a warm battery pack.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between
65 °F – 75 °F (18 ° C– 24 °C). DO NOT charge when the battery pack is below +40 °F (+4.5 °C), or above +104 °F (+40 °C).
This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not
indicate a problem. 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 uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights;
c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65 °F – 75 °F
(18 °C – 24 °C);
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center.
4. 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 under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a
partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, 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 the charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING:
Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be removed
from the exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or any cleaning solutions.
Wall Mounting
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting, locate the
charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede air flow. Use
the back of the charger as a template for the location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger securely using
drywall screws (purchased separately) at least 1” (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of 0.28–0.35” (7–9 mm),
screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32” (5.5 mm) of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the
back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.
