WARNING: Only use the charger
supplied with this kit to charge a 20V Li-ion
#153928 battery or an 18V Ni-Cd #134458
battery. Charging any other batteries may
damage the charger and possibly cause
serious injury.
Do not store or carry the battery in a manner in
which metal objects could contact the exposed

Never attempt to open the battery for any
reason. If the housing of the battery breaks or
cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not
recharge.
Do not charge the battery if it is wet or shows
any evidence of corrosion.
A small leakage from the battery may occur
under extreme usage, charging or temperature
conditions. This does not indicate a failure.
However, if the outer seal is broken and this
leakage gets on your skin, follow these steps:
1. Wash immediately with soap and water.
2. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon
juice or vinegar.
3. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush
immediately with clean water for a
minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical
attention.
NOTE: The battery liquid is slightly acidic.
Do not incinerate the battery. It can explode in a
fire.
Do not use an extension cord. Plug the charger
cord directly into an electrical outlet.

120V, 60 Hz electrical outlet.
NOTE: Square wave output inverters may
damage this charger and the battery.
Do not use the charger in wet or damp
conditions. It is intended for indoor use only. Do
not use the charger near sinks or
tubs. Do not immerse the charger in water.
Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
1. Place the battery charger (1) in a dry
location near a 110–120V 60 Hz electrical
outlet (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Square wave output inverters may
damage this charger and the battery.
2. Turn the battery (2) upside down and slide
it onto the charger.
NOTE: Make sure the grooves (3) in the
sides of the battery slide over the matching
tabs on the charger (4) until the battery
latch "clicks" into place.
3. Plug the battery charger into the 110–120V
60 Hz wall receptacle.
NOTES:
a) When the charger is plugged into the wall
receptacle and NO battery is on the charger, the
green indicator light (5) will turn ON indicating
the charger is “live”.
b) When a discharged battery is installed on the
charger, the green indicator light will turn OFF
and the red indicator light (6) will FLASH. The
flashing red indicator light indicates the battery
is being charged.
c) If the red indicator light does not come ON,
check to make sure battery pack is slid fully onto
the charger and the electrical outlet is working
properly.
d) See Fig. 2 at right for other indicator light
functions.
e) A new battery pack or one that is completely
run down should be charged for 2 hours. After
normal use, a battery pack should be fully
charged in about one hour.
f) It is normal for the battery charger to hum and
be warm to the touch during operation.
g) If the battery pack does not charge properly,
check to make sure the electrical outlet is “live”.
h) Do NOT charge batteries when the work area
or the battery temperature is at or below 0°C
(32° F) or above 45°C (113° F).
