Your tool uses a DEWALT
requires no adjustment and is designed to be as easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (fig. 2)
•
Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack. (Refer to the Charger
Specifications in Section 2)
•
Insert the battery pack (K) 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 started.
•
The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully
charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of Li-Ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before
first use.
Charging Process
Refer to the table below for the state of charge of the battery pack.

*The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this operation. Once
the battery has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will turn off and the charger will resume
the charging procedure.
This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to light.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery pack to be tested at an authorised service
centre.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a hot/cold pack delay,
suspending charging until the battery has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. A cold battery pack will charge
at about half the rate of a warm battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the
entire charging cycle and will not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery warms.
Lithium-Ion Battery Packs
STANLEY Engineered Fastening PB Series Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that
will protect the battery against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the Li-Ion
battery on the charger until it is fully charged.
