WARNING: Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire or temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may
cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and
do not charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range specified
in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.

Charging the Battery
WARNING: Do not charge the battery pack in
extreme temperatures. It is recommended to charge
the battery pack in ambient temperatures between
32 and 104⁰F (0 and 40⁰C).
To charge the battery:
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.
2. Insert and fully seat the battery pack. The green
charging light will continuously blink while
charging.
3. Charging is complete when the green light
remains continuously ON. You can leave the
battery pack in the charger or remove it.
NOTE: The charger will not charge a faulty battery
pack, which may be indicated by the light staying
OFF or the red light rapidly blinking. Take the charger
and battery pack to an authorized service center if the
light stays OFF or the red light rapidly blinks.
NOTE: Refer to the label near the charging light on
the charger for blink patterns.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too
hot or too cold, it automatically starts a hot/cold pack
delay. This delay suspends charging until the battery
pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The
charger then automatically switches to the pack
charging mode, ensuring maximum battery pack life.
A cold battery pack may charge at a slower rate than a
warm battery pack. The hot/cold pack delay is indicated
by the red light continuously flashing a short ON
followed by a longer ON (see charger for blink pattern).
Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature, the charger resumes charging.
