Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failuretodosocouldresult
inobjectsbeingthrownintoyoureyesresultinginpossible
seriousinjury.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Useofimproperextensioncordcouldresult
inariskoffireandelectricshock.Ifextensioncordmust
beused,makesure:
 a.Thatpinsonplugofextensioncordarethesame
  number,sizeandshapeasthoseofplugoncharger.
 b.Thatextensioncordisproperlywiredandingood 
 electricalcondition;and
 c.ThatwiresizeislargeenoughforACampererating

 CordSize(AWG)  16 16 16
NOTE:AWG=AmericanWireGauge
Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug,
whichcouldcauseshortingandelectricshock.Ifdamaged,
havethechargerreplacedbyanauthorizedserviceman.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.
Takeittoanauthorizedservicemanforelectricalcheckto
determineifthechargerisingoodworkingorder.
Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an authorized
servicemanwhen serviceor repairisrequired.Incorrect
reassemblymayresultinariskofelectricshockorfire.
Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in
use. Thiswillreducetheriskofelectricshockordamage
tothechargerifmetalitemsshouldfallintotheopening.
Italsowillhelppreventdamagetothechargerduringa
powersurge.
Risk of electric shock. Donottouchuninsulatedportion
ofoutputconnectororuninsulatedbatteryterminal.
Donotchargebatteryinadamporwetlocation.Do
not use, store, or charge battery packs or products in
locations where the temperature is less than 50°F or
more than 100°F. Donotstoreoutsideorinvehicles.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
usethemtoinstructotherswhomayusethistool.Ifyou
loansomeonethistool,loanthemtheseinstructionsalso
topreventmisuseoftheproductandpossibleinjury.
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Fail-
uretofollowallinstructionslistedbelow,mayresultin
electricshock,fireand/orseriouspersonalinjury.
Before using charger,readallinstructionsandcautionary
markingsinthismanual,oncharger,battery,andproduct
usingbatterytopreventmisuseoftheproductsandpos-
sibleinjuryordamage.
WARNING:
Charge only rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Other
types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury
ordamage.Forcompatiblebatterypacksseetool/ap-
pliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement
995000885.

Do not use charger outdoors or expose to wet or damp
conditions. Waterenteringchargerwillincreasetherisk
ofelectricshock.
WARNING:
Donotchargeabatterythatiswetorhasbeenwetor
exposedtoliquids.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the
battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. Followingthis
rulewillreducetheriskofelectricshock,fire,orserious
personalinjury.
Do not abuse cord or charger. Neverusethecordtocarry
thecharger.Donotpullthechargercordratherthanthe
plugwhendisconnectingfromreceptacle.Damagetothe
cordorchargercouldoccurandcreateanelectricshock
hazard.Ifcordorchargerisdamaged,havethecharger
replacedbyanauthorizedserviceman.
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges or
moving parts or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress. Thiswillreducetheriskofaccidentalfalls,which
couldcauseinjury,anddamagetothecord,whichcould
resultinelectricshock.
Keep cord and charger from heat to prevent damage
to housing or internal parts.
Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products,
etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicalsthatcandamage,weaken,ordestroyplastic.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - DANGER: TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAREFULLY FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains
important safety and operating instructions for battery charger HLCG02.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on battery charger, battery, and product using battery.
3. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst,
causing personal injury or damage.

CHARGING
See Figure 1, page 7.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
preventpossible problems.Therefore, youshouldcharge
thembeforefirstuse.Ifthechargerdoesnotchargeyour
batterypackundernormalcircumstances,returnboththe
batterypackandchargertoyournearestrepaircenterfor
electricalcheck.
Chargetime variesand isdependent uponthe amphour
capacityofbatterypack.
Makesurethepowersupplyisnormalhouseholdvoltage,
120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
 Connectthechargertoapowersupply.
 Attachthebatterypack to thechargerbyaligning the
raisedribsonthebatterypackwiththegroovesinthe
charger,thenslidethebatterypackontothecharger.
 Pressdownonthebatterypacktobesurecontactson
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the

 Latches should snap into place to ensure charger is
correctlyconnected.
 Donotplacethechargerinanareaofextremeheator
cold.Itwillworkbestatnormalroomtemperature.
 The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicateaproblem.
 ThegreenLEDwillflashwhilethebatterypackischarging.
NOTE:IftheLEDturnsredandbeginsapatternoftwo
quickblinks,thechargerhasdetectedanerror.SeeLED
Functions for Battery Chargingdetails.
 Afterchargingiscomplete,thecharger’sgreenLEDwill
