Charger diagnostics
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can
arise with the battery packs or the power source. Problems
are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.
Bad battery
The charger can detect a weak or damaged
battery. The LED flashes in the pattern indi-
cated on the label. If you see this bad battery
blink pattern, do not continue to charge the battery. Return it
to a service center or a collection site for ecycling.
Hot/cold pack delay
When the charger detects a battery that
is excessively hot or excessively cold, it
automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery has normalized. After
this happens, the charger automatically switches to the Pack
Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
The light flashes in the pattern indicated on the label.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with
the LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged. This charger features
an automatic tune-up mode which equals or balances the
individual cells in the battery pack to allow it to function at
peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or
whenever the battery no longer delivers the same amount
of work. To use the automatic tune-up mode, place the
battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours.

u
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 18 ° – 24 °C. DO NOT charge the battery pack in
an air temperature below +4.5 °C), or above +40 °C. This
is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery
pack.
The charger and battery pack may become warm to the

Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
u
switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights;

u
where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 18 ° – 24 °C;
If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
u
pack and charger to your local service center.
The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
u
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse effect on the battery pack.
