1. Longest life and best performance can
be obtained if the battery pack is charged
when the air temperature is between 65°F
and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge
the battery pack in an air temperature
below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F
(+40.5°C). This is important and will prevent
serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may
become warm to 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 current at 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 charger
and battery pack
to a location
where the
surrounding air
temperature is
approximately
65°F - 75°F (18°-
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
affect on the battery pack.
5. 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.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in
water or any other liquid.
WARNING:
Shock hazard. Do not
allow any liquid to get inside charger.
