Charging Process; Important Safety Instructions For All Battery Packs - Stanley SCH12 Manual De Instrucciones

26 • ENGLISH
f Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric
plug and cord.
f Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress.
f Do not use an extension cord unless it is
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock,
or electrocution.
f Do not place any object on top of charger or place
the charger on a soft surface that might block the
ventilation slots and result in excessive internal
heat. Place the charger in a position away from any
heat source. The charger is ventilated through slots in
the top and the bottom of the housing.
f Do not operate charger with damaged cord or
plug — have them replaced immediately.
f Do not operate charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged
in any way. Take it to an authorised service centre.
f Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorised
service centre when service or repair is required.
Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock, electrocution or fire.
f In case of damaged power supply cord the supply
cord must be replaced immediately by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified
person to prevent any hazard.
f Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk
of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not
reduce this risk.
f NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
f The charger is designed to operate on standard
household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply
to the vehicular charger.
Chargers
These chargers require no adjustment and are designed to
be as easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (Fig. B)
1. Plug the charger (10) into an appropriate outlet before
inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (7) into the charger. The red
(charging) light will blink continuously indicating that
the charging process has started.
3. 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
batteries, charge the battery pack fully before first use.

Charging process

Refer the tables below for the state of charge
of the battery pack.

HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
When the charger detects a battery that is hot, it
automatically delays charging until the battery has cooled.
When the charger detects a battery that is cold, it
automatically delays charging until the battery has warmed.
The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator
light will be illuminated during this operation. Once the
battery has cooled, the yellow light will turn off and the
charger will resume the charging procedure.
Stanley 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.
LI-ION BATTERY PACKS ONLY
Li-Ion batteries 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL BATTERY PACKS
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure
to include catalog number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton.
Before using the battery pack and charger, read the safety
instructions below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.
f Do not charge or use battery in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery
from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
