circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to
your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for electrical
check.
BATTERIES
The battery pack is equipped with nickel-cadmium recharge-
able batteries. Length of service from each charg ing will
depend on the type of work you are doing.
The batteries have been designed to provide maximum
trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will even-
tually wear out.
Do not disassemble battery pack and at-
tempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries,
especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in
a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
n
Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully
charged and ready for use.
For battery storage longer than 30 days:
n
Store the battery pack where the tem per a ture is below
80°F.
n Store battery packs in a “discharged” condition.
NOTE: The green LED will remain on until the
battery pack is removed from the charger or charger is
disconnected from the power supply.
n If both yellow and green LEDs come on, this indi-
cates a deeply discharged or defective battery pack.
Allow the battery pack to remain in the charger for 15
to 30 minutes. When the battery pack reaches normal
voltage range, the red LED should come on. If the
red LED does not come on after 30 minutes, this may
indicate a defective battery pack and should be
replaced.
n After normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging time
is required to fully recharge battery pack.
n The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
n 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 50°F
but less than 100°F.
n When batteries become fully charged, unplug the
charger from power supply and remove 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. When the battery pack becomes discharged and
is hot, this will cause the green LED to come on instead of
the red LED. After 30 minutes, reinsert the battery pack in
the charger. If the green LED continues to remain on, return
battery pack to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center
for checking or replacing.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of a
tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur
under normal circumstances. Refer to “CHARGING A COOL
BATTERY PACK” for normal recharging of batteries. If the
charger does not charge your battery pack under normal
