IMPORTANT CHARGING
NOTES
1. After normal usage, your battery
pack should be fully charged in 3 to 9
hours. If the battery pack is run-down
completely, it may take up to 9 hours
to become fully charged. Your battery
pack was sent from the factory in an
uncharged condition. For best perfor-
mance charge battery until red LED
turns off. Allow the battery to cool
down 30 minutes before charging after
using the saw. NOTE: A hot battery
placed in the charger will not charge.
2. DO NOT charge the battery pack in an
air temperature below 40°F (4,5 °C) or
above 105°F (40,5 °C). This is impor-
tant and will prevent serious damage to
the battery pack. Longest life and best
performance can be obtained if battery
pack is charged when air temperature
is about 75°F (24°C).

3. While charging, the charger may hum
and become warm to touch. This is a
normal condition and does not indicate
a problem.
4. If the battery pack does not charge
properly
• Check current at receptacle by plugging
in a lamp or other appliance.
• Check to see if receptacle is connected
to a light switch which turns power off
when you turn out the lights.
• Move charger and battery pack to a
surrounding air temperature of 40°F
(4,5°C) to 105°F (40,5 °C)
• If the receptacle and temperature are
OK, and you do not get proper charg-
ing contact DESA Power Tools.
5. The battery pack should be recharged
when it fails to produce sufficient
power on jobs which were easily done
previously. DO NOT CONTINUE us-
ing product with its battery pack in a
depleted condition.
6. To prolong battery life, avoid leaving
the battery pack on charger for ex-
tended periods of time (over 30 days
without use). Although overcharging is
not a safety concern, it can significantly
reduce overall battery life.
7. The battery pack will reach optimum
performance after being cycled 5 times
during normal usage. There is no need
to run the batteries down completely
before recharging. Normal usage is
the best method of discharging and
recharging the batteries.
