BATTERY CHARGER
CHARGING PROCEDURE
NOTE: The battery is not shipped fully charged. It is recommended to fully charge before
first use to ensure that maximum run time can be achieved. This lithium-ion battery will not
develop a memory and may be charged at any time.
Low voltage charging:
If the battery has been stored with little to no charge for a long period of time, the charger
will go into recovery mode, which will take 20 hrs to fully charge the battery. This will
enhance the life of the battery. Once it is fully charged, the next charge will return to
standard charging.
A fully discharged battery pack will require approximately 36 minutes to fully charge from a
discharged state.
• Plug the charger into an AC power outlet.
• Insert the battery into the charger.
This is a diagnostic charger. The Charger LED Lights will illuminate in specific order to
communicate the current battery status. They are as follows:
False defect note:
When the battery is inserted into the charger and the status LED blinks RED, remove the
battery from the charger for 1 minute, then reinsert. If the status LED blinks GREEN, then
the battery is properly charging. If the status LED is still blinking RED, remove the battery
and unplug the charger for 1 minute. After 1 minute, plug in the charger and reinsert the
battery. If the status LED blinks GREEN, then the battery is properly charging. If the status
LED is still blinking RED, the battery is defective and needs to be replaced.
CHECKING THE CHARGE
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
• Check the current at the power outlet with another tool. Make sure that the outlet is not
turned off.
• Check that the charger contacts have not been shorted by debris or foreign material.
• If the air temperature is above 37.77˚C (100ºF) or below 7.2˚C (45ºF), move the charger
and battery pack to a room temperature location.
• Be sure voltage selector is in correct voltage position before plugging in.
• For use in the U.S.A., the voltage selector switch must be placed in the 120 volt position.
For use in countries other than the U.S.A., the voltage selector may need to be placed in
other than the 120 volt position. Confirm the voltage available at each country location
before using the product.
• This power unit is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or floor mount position.
