SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities. Do not let children play with this
appliance.
Please read and observe these instructions before using
the device.
■Before using the device check that the mains cable
and mains plug are not damaged.
■The device must not be damp, neither should it be
used in a damp environment.
■Do not use the device if it has suffered any heavy
shock or jolting, or is damaged in any other way.
■Due to the heat generated during charging,
the battery charger should not be operated on a
combustible surface/in an inflammable environment.
■Do not cover the ventilating slits.
■Never disassemble the device yourself.
■Pull the plug of the battery charger out of the socket
when it is not in use or when cleaning it.
■Only use extension cable that is approved and
technically in perfect condition.
■During operation provide sufficient ventilation.
Malfunction during charging can be caused by storing
and operating in places where the temperature
exceeds +40°C; this should be avoided. Battery
charging in closed cupboards, near heat sources
(radiators, bright sunshine) etc., causes heat to
accumulate and can damage the device.
■If the battery is not going to be used for a longer
period, pull the battery off the battery charger and pull
out the mains plug.
■Protect battery contact to avoid a short circuit caused
by metallic object that can cause a fire or explosion!
■Only charge original recommended batteries.
■If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an
Authorised Service Center in order to avoid a hazard.

OPERATION
APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the following purposes:
■Charging compatible Ryobi 14.4 Volt and 18 Volt
battery packs.
BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
Ryobi One+ 18 V and 14.4 V lithium-ion batteries are
designed with features that protect the lithium-ion cells
and maximize battery life.
If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset
and resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the
battery needs to be recharged.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Use only Ryobi One+ 18 V and 14.4 V battery packs
with this charger:
Battery packs for this tool are shipped in a low charge
condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you
should charge them until the green LED on the front of
the charger stays on.
CHARGING A BATTERY PACK
If the charger does not charge the battery pack under
normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and
charger to your nearest Authorized Service Center for
electrical check.
■Charge the battery pack only with the charger
provided.
■Make sure the power supply is normal household
voltage, 220V-240V, 50-60Hz, AC only.
■Make sure the latches on each side of the battery
pack snap into place and the battery pack is secured
in the charger before beginning operation.
■Connect the charger to the power supply.
■Place the battery pack in the charger aligning raised
rib on the battery pack with the groove in the charger.
■Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts
on the battery pack engage properly with contacts in
the charger.
NOTE: After charging is complete, the green LED will
remain on until the battery pack is removed from the
charger or charger is disconnected from the power
supply.
■The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
■Do not place the charger and battery pack in an
area of extreme heat or cold. They will work best
at normal room temperature.
NOTE: The charger and battery pack should be
placed in a location where the temperature is
more than 10°C but less than 38°C.
■When batteries become fully charged, unplug the
charger from the power supply and remove the
battery pack.
■To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress
the latches on each side of the battery pack.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the batteries in the
battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery
pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before
attempting to recharge.
