LED FUNCTIONS OF CHARGER
See Figure 3.
CHARGER LED WILL BE ON TO INDICATE
STATUS OF CHARGER AND BATTERY PACK:
 Red LED on, Green LED off = Power to charger is on.
 Red LED flashing, Green LED off = Battery is being
tested.
 Red LED flashing, Green LED flashing = Battery is
defective.
 Red LED on, Green LED flashing = Battery is charging.
 Red LED off, Green LED on = Battery is fully charged.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
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 comes on.
CHARGING A COOL 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 recommended
charger.
 Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
 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.
 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 50°F
but less than 100°F.
 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.
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
circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger
to your nearest Authorized Service Center for electrical
check.
