WARNING!
Read this Operator’s Manual
carefully before using this
tool. Failure to understand
and follow the contents of this
manual may result in electri-
cal shock, re and/or serious
personal injury.
NOTE: Maximum Battery pack voltage (V MAX) is 12V and indicates the open circuit battery voltage
when fully charged without a workload. This battery does not operate continuously at V MAX. Nominal
Voltage is 10.8V and approximates the average operational voltage with a workload. This battery operates
at a voltage that decreases during discharge.

Safety Symbols
In this operator’s manual and on the product, safety symbols and signal words are used
to communicate important safety information. This section is provided to improve under-
standing of these signal words and symbols.
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor
or moderate injury.
NOTICE indicates information that relates to the protection of property.
Battery Charger Safety
•To reduce risk of injury, charge only
RIDGID RB-12XXX series rechargeable
batteries or batteries indicated in spec-
ifications. Other types of batteries, including
non-rechargeable batteries, may burst caus-
ing injury to persons and damage.
•Do not recharge non-rechargeable bat-
teries.
•Charger is for indoor use only.
•Charge Li-Ion batteries at ambient tem-
peratures specified in the instructions.
Charging at low or high ambient temper-
atures (i.e. below 32°F (0°c) or above
(113°F (45°C)) increases the risk of battery
leakage, electrical shock or fire.
•Properly insert battery into charger. Bat-

nals with conductive objects. Shorting
of terminals may cause sparks, burns or
electrical shock.
•Do not expose charger or battery to
damp or wet conditions, such as rain.
Make sure hands are dry when han-
dling. Moisture increases the risk of elec-
trical shock.
•Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge or store the battery pack
outside the temperature range specified
in the instructions. Charging or storing
improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery
and increase the risk of battery leakage,
electrical shock or fire.
•This appliance can be used by children
8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or metal ca-
pabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given su-
pervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance in a safe way and un-
derstand the hazards involved.
•Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and maintenance shall not be
done by children without supervision.
Battery Safety
•Avoid contact with battery fluids. Fluids
may cause burns or skin irritation. For skin
contact, wash with soap and water. For
eye contact, immediately flush eyes thor-
oughly with water and continue flushing
for at least 15 minutes without rubbing.
Seek medical attention. See battery SDS
for additional information.
•Use batteries only with equipment speci-
fically designating their use. Using equip-
ment and batteries that are not rated for
use together can cause fire or other personal
injury.
•When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that can make a con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
•Do not burn battery or expose to high
temperatures. High temperatures can
cause the battery to explode.
tery polarity must match charger output
polarity to reduce risk.
•Use of an attachment not recommended
or sold by the battery charger manufac-
turer may result in a risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.
•To reduce risk of damage to cord, pull
by connector rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
•Make sure cord is located so that it will
not be stepped on, tripped over, or oth-
erwise subjected to damage or stress.
•Do not operate charger with damaged
cord – replace it immediately.
•To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug
charger before attempting any mainte-
nance or cleaning.
•Use an appropriate power source. An
improper power source may cause damage
to charger resulting in electrical shock, fire
or burns.
•Do not allow anything to cover the charg-
er while in use. Proper ventilation is re-
quired for correct operation of charger.
Cover-ing vents may result in fire. Allow a
minimum of 3" (76 mm) of clearance around
the charger for proper ventilation.
•Unplug the charger when not in use.
Reduces risk of injury to children and un-
trained persons.
•Do not carry charger by power cord.
Do not pull cord to unplug. Reduces risk
of electrical shock.
Charger and Battery Safety
•Use appropriate Charger and Battery
combinations. See Specifications. Using
chargers and batteries that are not rated
for use together can cause the battery to
burst, fire or other personal injury.
•Do not use charger or battery if either
has been dropped, modified or damaged
in any way. Modified or damaged charger
or battery increases the risk of electrical
shock.
•Do not open or disassemble the charger
or battery. There are no user serviceable
parts. Have repairs performed only at au-
thorized locations. Opening or disassem-
bling the charger or batteries may cause
electrical shock or personal injury.
•Do not probe charger or battery termi-
