Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (drilling followed
by recharging) for the item to fully charge. The battery
charger should only be used indoors.

on, this indicates charge mode. If the green and yellow
lights come on, remove the battery pack, wait 1 minute
and reinsert battery pack in charger. If the green and
yellow lights continue to remain on an additional 15
minutes, the battery pack is damaged and will not accept
charge. A maximum charge time of 1-1 1/2 hours is
required to recharge a completely discharged battery.
