Note: The starting lockout and ON button on the tools no longer function when charging.
2. Important charging notes.
Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air
temperature is between 65°F-75°F (18-24℃). Do not charge the battery in an air temperature below
+40°F(+4.5℃), or above +105°F(+40.5℃). This is important and will prevent serious damage to
the battery.
(1).The charger and battery may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition,
and does not indicate a problem.
(2). Use the charger in normal room temperatures whenever possible. To prevent overheating, do not
cover the charger and do not charge battery in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
(3). If the battery does not charge properly —— ①check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance. ②check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off
when you turn out the light. ③move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding
air temperature is approximately 65°F-75°F(18-24℃). ④if charging problems persist, take or send
the tool and the charger to your local service center.
(4).The battery should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were
easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging
procedure.
(5).Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive
nature such as, but no limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should
be kept away from charger cavities.Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is
no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
