CHARGING RYOBI LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
PACKS
Lithium-ion batteries deliver fade free power for their entire
run time. 24 V lithium-ion tools will not gradually lose power
due to decreasing battery charge. Instead, power from the
battery pack will drop from full to zero once the full charge
has been drained from the battery. Once this happens,
recharging of the battery is required.
It is not necessary to drain the battery pack completely
before recharging.
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 during product operation. If
operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the bat-
tery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing any
maintenance.
