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.
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
of charger as specified below:
Cord Length (Feet) 25’ 50’100’
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 de-
termine 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.
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 preven t misuse of the product and possible injury.
SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure
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
possible injury or damage.
WARNING:
Charge only one lithium-ion rechargeable battery at a time.
Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury,
fire, or damage. For compatible battery packs see tool/
appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement
987000-432.
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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.
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.

APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the following purpose:
Charging Ryobi™18V Li-ion battery packs
NOTICE:
If at any point during the charging process none of the
LEDs are lit, remove the battery pack from the charger
to avoid damaging the product. DO NOT insert another
battery. Return the charger and battery to your nearest
authorized service center for service or replacement.
NOTICE:
Charge in a well-ventilated area. Do not block charger
vents. Keep them clear to allow proper ventilation.
KEY HOLE HANGER
See Figure 1, page 6.
To mount the charger, only use the key hole hanging feature.
Screws should be installed so that the center distance is
2-1/2 in.
CHARGING
See Figure 2, page 6.
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 is approximately 1 hour, and is dependent upon
the type 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 insert the battery pack into the charger.
Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger. 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 may become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
After charging is complete, the green LED will remain on.
To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress
latches and pull up on the battery pack.
When the battery pack is fully charged, remove it from
the charger.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the battery pack may
become hot. A hot battery pack may be placed directly onto
the charger port but charging will not begin until the battery
temperature cools to within acceptable temperature range.
When a hot battery pack is placed on the charger, the red
LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off. When
the battery pack cools, the charger will automatically begin
charging.
CHARGING A COLD BATTERY PACK
A cold battery pack may be placed directly onto the charger
port but charging will not begin until the battery temperature
warms to within acceptable temperature range. When a cold
battery pack is placed on the charger, the red LED will begin
flashing and the green LED will be off. When the battery
pack warms, the charger will automatically begin charging.
