Important Safety Warnings
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - DANGER: TO REDUCE RISK OF
FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAREFULLY OBEY THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Confirm available voltage before using charger. Connect the charger
only to 120V AC and 60Hz outlets.
• If the above power requirements are not available, a voltage converter
must be used. Refer to your local country requirements before
purchasing a voltage converter.
• Any damage caused by charging with other than 120V AC and 60Hz
will void the warranty.
• Even when using the correct specified power requirements noted
above, this charger is equipped with an A-type plug. If a different type
plug is required for connection to an electrical outlet, it is the owner’s
responsibility to select the appropriate plug adapter, otherwise the
warranty may be voided.
3. Do not operate charger in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

into charger. If LED remains solid red, battery is being slowly charged
because of low voltage condition. Allow battery to continue charging.
Blinking Red Light:
1. Remove battery from charger for one minute.
