OPERATION
CHARGING BATTERIES
See Figure 3, page 7.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
them before first use.
If the charger does not charge your battery pack under normal
circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to
your nearest repair center for electrical check.
Charge time is dependent upon the type of battery pack.
Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz
.
Connect the charger to a power supply.
With the battery installed, place the tool in the wall-
mounted charger by aligning the raised ribs on the tool
housing with the grooves in the charger’s cradle.
Slide the tool down until it is fully seated in the cradle.
Once the tool is seated, the charge time is dependent
upon the type of battery pack.
The battery pack may become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
After charging is complete, the charger will enter into
Energy Save mode.
Charger will periodically wake from Energy Save mode to
ensure the battery pack remains in a fully charged state.
To remove the tool from the charger, lift the tool up and
away from the charger.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the battery pack may become
hot. A tool with a hot battery pack may be placed directly
onto the charger but charging will not begin until the battery
temperature cools to within acceptable temperature range.
When the battery pack cools, the charger will automatically
begin charging.
CHARGING A COLD BATTERY PACK
A tool with a cold battery pack may be placed directly onto
the charger but charging will not begin until the battery
temperature warms to within acceptable temperature range
When the battery pack warms, the charger will automatically
begin charging.
