1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS MANUAL
CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
ALBION LITHIUM-ION COMBO CHARGER
PART NO. 982-21 AND ALBION 12V AND 18V
LI-ION BATTERIES.
2. BEFORE USING THE BATTERIES AND
CHARGER, READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND
CAUTIONARY MARKINGS ON BATTERY
CHARGER, BATTERY, AND TOOL.
3. CAUTION! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY,
CHARGE ALBION 12V AND 18V LITHIUM-ION
BATTERIES ONLY IN ALBION 12V AND 18V
LITHIUM-ION CHARGERS. Other types of bat-
teries may burst causing personal injury and
damage. Do not wire a battery pack to a power
supply plug or car cigarette lighter. Batteries will
be permanently disabled or damaged.
4. USE ALBION LITHIUM-ION PACKS ONLY ON
COMPATIBLE ALBION LITHIUM-ION TOOLS.
Battery pack and charger are not compatible with
NiCd systems. Use with other tools may result in
a risk of fi re, electric shock or personal injury.
5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do
not charge battery pack in rain, snow, damp or
wet locations. Do not use battery pack or char-
ger in the presence of explosive atmospheres
(gaseous fumes, dust or fl ammable materials)
because sparks may be generated when inserting
or removing battery pack, possibly causing fi re.
6. CHARGE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. Do
not block charger vents. Keep them clear to allow
proper ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open
fl ames near a charging battery pack. Vented gases
may explode.
7. MAINTAIN CHARGER CORD. When unplugging
charger, pull plug rather than cord to reduce the
risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord.
Never carry charger by its cord. Keep cord from
heat, oil and sharp edges. Make sure cord will
not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to
damage or stress. Do not use charger with dam-
aged cord or plug. Have a damaged cord replaced
immediately with identical replacement parts (see
"Maintenance").
8. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT
IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Using the wrong,
damaged or improperly wired extension cord could
result in the risk of fi re and electrical shock. If an
extension cord must be used, plug the charger
into a properly wired 16 gauge or larger extension
cord with pins that are the same number, size and
shape as the pins on the charger. Make sure that
the extension cord is in good electrical condition.

9. CHARGER IS RATED FOR 120 VOLT AC ONLY.
Charger must be plugged into an appropriate
receptacle.
10. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACHMENTS.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold
by the battery charger or battery pack manufac-
turer may result in a risk of fi re, electric shock or
personal injury.
11. UNPLUG CHARGER when not in use. Remove
battery pack from unplugged chargers.
12. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
always unplug charger before cleaning or main-
tenance. Do not allow water to fl ow into AC/
DC plug. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
13. DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERIES.
Batteries may explode, causing personal injury or
damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created
when batteries are burned.
14. DO NOT CRUSH, DROP, OR DAMAGE batter-
ies. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has
received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over,
or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail,
hit with a hammer, stepped on).
15. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect reassembly
may result in the risk of electric shock, fi re or
exposure to battery chemicals. If it is damaged,
take it to an ALBION service facility.
16. BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERIOUS
BURNS. Never allow contact with skin, eyes, or
mouth. If a damaged battery pack leaks battery
chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to
dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery fl uids,
wash with soap and water and rinse with vin-
egar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals,
immediately fl ush with water for 20 minutes and
seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of
contaminated clothing.
17. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. A battery pack will
short circuit if a metal object makes a connec-
tion between the positive and negative contacts
on the battery pack. Do not place a battery pack
near anything that may cause a short circuit,
such as coins, keys or nails in your pocket. A
short circuited battery pack may cause fi re and
personal injury.
18. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHAR-
GER in a cool, dry place. Do not store battery
pack where temperatures may exceed 120°F
(50°C) such as in direct sunlight, a vehicle or
metal building during the summer.

Fuel Gauge
Use the Fuel Gauge to determine the battery pack's
remaining run time. Press the Fuel Gauge button to
display the lights. The Fuel Gauge will light up for
2-3 seconds. When less than 10% of charge is left,
1 light on the fuel gauge will fl ash slowly.

NOTE: If the Fuel Gauge doesn't appear to be
working, place the battery pack on the charger and
charge as needed.
Compared to NiCd battery pack types, ALBION Lith-
ium-Ion battery packs deliver fade-free power for
their entire run time. The tool will not experience a
slow, gradual loss of power as you work. To signal
