Important Safety Instructions - Save These Instructions.
Save these instructions: This manual contains important safety instructions for battery chargers.
Warning: Before using charger, read and follow all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack and product using battery pack.
Warning: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.
Warning: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only designated Volt Edge 20Vmax batteries. Other types of batteries may burst caus-
ing personal injury and damage.
Caution: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign mate-
rials of a conductive nature such as, but not 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 source when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
Warning:
 Do not attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual.
The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
 The chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging designated Volt Edge 20Vmax Lithium-ion batteries. Any other uses may
result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
 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
this product.

Warning: (Continued)
 Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
 Pull by plug, rather than cord, when disconnecting charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to electric plug and cord.
 If the shape of the plug does not fit the power outlet, use an attachment plug adaptor of the proper configuration for the power outlet.
 Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
 Do not use an extension cord, unless it is necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
 Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug.
 Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way.
 Do not disassemble the charger.
 Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack
will not reduce this risk.
 The charger is designed to operate on standard electric power (120V). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.
 The charger is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or horizontal position.
Declaration of Conformity:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
 This device may not cause harmful interference.
 This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device complies with:
 Appendix Y to Subpart B of Part 430-Uniform Test Method for Measuring the Energy Consumption of Battery Chargers. DOE energy conser-
vation standards specified in the Code of Federal Regulations at 10 CFR 430.32(z).
 This device complies with CEC, Section 1605.1(w) of energy efficiency standars for federally regulated battery chargers of California Code of
Regulations.
 This device complies with NRCAN(EEV), CSA-C381.2-17 May 2017 and Canada’s Energy Efficiency Regulations.
 This device complies with cETLus certification based on Conforms to UL STD.1310 Certified to CSA STD.CC22 NO.223.
Storage Recommendations:
 The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
 Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger.
 Do not store a battery connected to a charger
Charging Procedure:
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack. The green LED will flash once indicating the charger is ready
to use.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.
3. The green LED will flash indicating the battery is being charged.
4. The completion of charger is indicated by the green LED remaining on continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this
time or left on the charger.
a. Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible after use or battery life may be greatly diminished. For longest battery life,
do not discharge batteries fully. It is recommended that the batteries be recharged after each use.
5. If the battery remains on the charger for more than 2 hours after charging is complete, the green LED will slowly blink.
Charger Diagnostics:
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise with the battery packs or the power source. Problems are indicated by the red
and green LEDs.
Temperature Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot or excessively cold, it automatically starts a Temperature Delay, suspending charging
until the battery temperature returns to acceptable temperatures. The red LED will flash indicating the battery is outside the required temperature
range and not charging. Once the temperature is within the required range, charging will begin.
Broken Battery
The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The red and green LED will alternate flashing. If you see this warning, do not continue to
charge the battery and remove the battery from the charger.

Check outlet with another device.
Temperature is
too hot or
too cold
Move charger and battery to a climate-controlled
environment and wait for the product to reach
room temperature.
Battery pack not
inserted into
charger
Remove battery pack and re-install battery pack.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Battery will
not charge
Important charging notes:
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged with the air temperature is between 50°F (10°C) and
80°F (26°C).
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. Ensure the
vents are not blocked to allow cooling.
3. The battery pack should be recharged when it no longer powers the equipment. Do not continue to attempt using the battery if low power
is indicated. You may recharge a partially discharged battery pack without damaging the battery pack.
4. Do not freeze or submerge the charger in water or any other liquid.
Warning: Shock Hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the charger. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic
housing of the battery pack breaks for cracks, return to a recycling center and replace the charger.
