OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USING YOUR BATTERY PACK
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.
WARNING: The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together, so do not
attempt to use any other devices. Never insert or allow metallic objects into your charger or battery
pack connections because an electrical failure and hazard will occur.
• Your battery pack is UNCHARGED and you must charge once before use. When you charge the
new battery or one which has not been used for long periods of time, it may not reach full charge
until after you have discharged it fully in use and recharged it several times.
1. Plug the charger (C) into an appropriate outlet.
The light will be green. Insert the battery pack
(A) into the charger. The light will flash red to
indicate the charging process has started. On
completion of charge, the light will turn solid
green. The pack is now fully charged. Unplug
the charger and remove the battery pack.
WARNING
When battery charge runs out after continuous
use or exposure to direct sunlight or heat,
allow time for the battery to cool down before
recharging to achieve the full charge.
CHARGING INDICATOR
• This charger is designed to detect some problems that can arise with battery packs. Indicator lights
indicate problems (see table below). If this occurs, insert a new battery pack to determine if the
charger is OK. If the new battery charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be
returned to a service center or recycling service center. If the new battery pack displays the same
problem as the original battery pack, have the charger tested at an authorized service center.

HOT/COLD BATTERY PACK DELAY
This charger has a HOT/COLD battery pack delay feature. When the charger detects a battery pack
that is too hot or cold, it automatically starts a HOT/COLD Pack Delay and suspends charging until
the battery pack has reached the correct temperature. The charging process will then automatically
begin (green flash). This feature ensures maximum battery life.
