CHARGING BATTERY PACK
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low
charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore,
you should charge it prior to use.
NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (cutting followed
by recharging) for them to fully charge.
■ Charge battery pack only with the charger provided.
■ Make sure power supply is normal house voltage,
120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
■ Connect charger to power supply.
■ Place battery pack in charger. See Figure 3. Align
raised rib on battery pack with groove in charger.
■ Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts on
battery pack engage properly with contacts in charger.
When properly connected, red light will turn on.
■ Normally, the yellow and green lights on the charger
will come on. This indicates charger is in control
charge mode and should switch to fast charge mode
within 5 minutes. When charger is in fast charge mode
the red light will come on. If after a period of 15 min-
utes the yellow and green lights remain on, remove the
battery pack, wait 1 minute and reinsert battery pack in
charger. If the yellow and green lights continue to
remain on an additional 15 minutes, the battery pack is
damaged and will not accept charge.
■ When your battery pack becomes fully charged, the
red light will turn off and the green light will turn on.
■ After normal usage, 1 hour of charge time is required
to be fully charged. A minimum charge time of 1 to
1-1/2 hours is required to recharge a completely
discharged tool.
■ The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
■ Do not use or store charger in an area where the
temperature is below 50° F or above 100° F.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING
HOT BATTERIES
When using your saw continuously, the batteries in your
battery pack become hot. You should let a hot battery
pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before
attempting to recharge.
NOTE: This situation occurs when continuous use of your
saw causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur
under normal circumstances. Refer to "Charging Your
Battery Pack" for normal recharging of batteries. If the
charger does not charge your battery pack under normal
circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger
to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for
electrical check.
