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. 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.

if receptacle is
connected to a
light switch which
turns power off
when you turn out
the lights.

and battery pack
to a location
where the
surrounding air
temperature is
