WARNING: Only use the charger
supplied to charge the Mastercraft®12V
Ni-Cd (054-3166-0) or 18V Ni-Cd (054-3168-6).
Charging any other batteries may damage
the charger and possibly cause serious
injury.
Do not store or carry the battery where metal
objects could contact the exposed metal end of
the battery. Do not place the battery in aprons,
pockets, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws,

a fire, personal injury or damage to the battery.
Do not 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.
Use the charger only in a standard
120V, 60Hz 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
table or counter or touch hot surfaces. The
charger should be placed away from sinks and
hot surfaces.
Do not use the charger to charge any batteries
other than the cordless drill batteries. Other
batteries may explode.
Do not operate charger if the cord or plug is
damaged. Replace the damaged cord and plug
immediately.
Do not operate the charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise
damaged in any way. Have a qualified
technician examine the charger and repair it if
necessary. Do not disassemble the charger.

location near a 110–120V 60Hz 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
60Hz 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.

check to make sure that the 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 before
use. After normal use, a battery pack should be
fully charged in about one hour.

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”.
