An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
•
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. 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 charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing. Do not place
any object on top of charger or place the charger on a soft surface that might block the ventilation
slots and result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat source.
•
Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately.
•
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way; take it to an authorized service center.
•
Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
•
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any cleaning.
Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
•
NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
•
The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120 Volts AC).
Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage! This does not apply to vehicular charger.
Battery Packs
Your tool uses a 12.0 or 14.4 Volt D
packs, be sure to include catalog number and voltage.
Chargers
Your battery can be charged in D
volt charger. Be sure to read all safety instructions before using your charger.
Consult chart on back cover for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
Charging Procedure
1 HOUR CHARGERS
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate power outlet.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger, making sure the pack is fully seated in the charger.
The red (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the charging process has start-
ed.
3. The battery pack will be fully charged in about 1 hour. The completion of charge will be indi-
cated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used
at this time or left in the charger.
TROUBLE INDICATORS: These chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can
arise with battery packs which would be indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate (and con-
tinuous beeping for 15 Minute Chargers). If this occurs, re-insert battery pack. If problem per-
sists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is OK. If the new pack charges cor-
rectly, then the original pack is defective and should be returned to a service center for recycling.
If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have charger tested at
an authorized service center.
PROBLEM POWER LINE
If your charger has a Problem Power Line indicator: When the charger 'is used with some portable
power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily
suspend operation, flashing the red light with two fast blinks followed by a pause. This
indicates the power source is out of limits.
HOT PACK DELAY
If your charger has a Hot Pack Delay feature: When the charger detects a battery that is hot, it
automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the
battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging mode. This feature
ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short while in the Hot Pack Delay
mode.
15 MINUTE CHARGERS
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate power outlet. The charger will beep twice, the red light
will blink and go off.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger, as shown in FIG. 1, making sure the pack is fully seat-
ed in the charger. The red light will blink and the charger will beep once indicating the charg-
ing process has started.
3. The battery pack will be fully charged in less than 15 minutes under most conditions. This will
be indicated by the red light remaining ON and 3 beeps. The pack is fully charged and may
be used at this time or left in the charger.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: The charger can also detect a weak battery. Such batteries are still
usable but should not be expected to perform as much work. In such cases, about 10 seconds
after battery insertion, the charger will beep rapidly 8 times to indicate a weak battery condition.
The charger will then go on to charge the battery to the highest capacity possible.
ALL CHARGERS
Leaving the battery pack in the charger: When the red light remains ON, the charger has
switched to its "equalize charge" mode which lasts approximately 4 hours, after which the charg-
er will switch to "maintenance charge" mode. The battery pack can be removed at any time dur-
ing these charge cycles, but will only be fully charged if the red light is continuously ON. The
charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefinitely. The charg-
er will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged. A battery pack will slowly lose its charge
when kept out of the charger. If the battery pack has not been kept on maintenance charge, it
may need to be recharged before use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a
charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.
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 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.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly — (1) Check current at receptacle by plugging in a
lamp or other appliance, (2) Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns
power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger and battery pack to a location where
the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C). (4) If charging
problems persist, take or send 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. Do not immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Don't allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result. 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.
CAUTION: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the
battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
Operation
Variable Speed Switch (Fig. 1 item A)
To turn the tool "ON", squeeze the trigger switch. To turn the tool "OFF" release the trigger. Your
tool is equipped with a variable speed switch which enables you to select the best speed for
a particular application. The farther you squeeze the trigger, the faster the tool will operate. For
maximum tool life, use variable speed only for starting fasteners.
Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig. 1 item B)
A forward/reverse control button determines the direction of the tool and also serves as a "lock
off" button. To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/reverse
control button on the right side of the tool, as shown in FIG. 4. To select reverse, depress the
forward/reverse control button on the left side of the tool. The center position of the control but-
ton locks the tool in the "OFF" position. When changing the position of the forward/reverse con-
trol button, be sure the trigger is released.
