CHARGING METHOD
NOTE: Before plugging into the receptacle, make sure the following is reviewed.
The power source voltage requirements is stated on the nameplate.
The cord is not damaged.
WARNING
DO NOT charge at voltage higher than indicated on the name plate. If charged at voltage higher than indicated, the
charger could burn up.
DO NOT use the electrical cord if damaged. Have it repaired immediately.
ONLY use 1GN50 battery and 1GN50 battery charger is only to be used with each other. Do not use other types or
brands of chargers and batteries with 1GN50 products as charger may become inoperable, damaged or battery may
burst.
Steps for charging:
1. Insert the battery into the charger base. Make sure it contacts the bottom of
the charger base.
2. Insert the adapter’s connection plug into the receptacle of the charger base.
3. Insert the adapter’s power plug into the power source.
4. Charging:
When the plug of the charger adapter has been inserted into the power source,
charging will commence and the green pilot light will flicker.
When battery is fully charged, green pilot light will remain on.
Charging takes roughly 120 minutes at 70°F (20°C).
If the pilot light flickers red during charging, this indicates charging failure and
battery should be removed and power source
should be disconnected.
NOTE: The battery charging time becomes longer when temperature is lower or
the voltage of the power source is too low. When the green pilot light does not
come on, even after three hours has passed after the start of charging, contact
Allfasteners, LLC. at 1-800-577-3171 for further instruction.
5. Disconnect battery charger from power source once fully charged.
CAUTION
DO NOT pull the plug out of the power source or out of the charger/adapter by pulling on the cord. Make sure to
grasp adapter plug when removing from receptacle to avoid damaging adapter.
6. Remove the battery from the battery charger. Supporting the charger base the one hand, pull out the battery from the charger base
with the other hand.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the
electric discharge might be low when using the first to second time. This is temporary and normal time required for charging will be
restored by recharging 2-3 times.
How to make the battery perform longer:
DO NOT recharge the batteries after they become completely exhausted. When you find the power pilot light change from green to
red on the nailer handle, stop the operation of the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the nailer and exhaust the
electric current, the battery may become damaged and its life span will become shorter.
Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If a battery at high temperatures is
recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the
battery and recharge it after it has had time to cool.
