2610052950.qxp_BC1880 5/1/19 12:52 PM Page 2
1. The charger was designed to fast charge the
battery only when the battery temperature is
between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). If the
battery pack is too hot or too cold, the charger will
not begin charging the battery. (This may happen
if the battery pack is hot from heavy use). Once
the batte ry tempera tur e returns to i ts safe
charging temperature, between 32°F (0°C) and
113°F (45°C), the charger will automatically
begin charging.
2. A su bstan tial dr op in opera ting ti me per
charg e may m ean t hat t he ba tte ry pack is
nearing the end of its life and should be replaced.
3. Remember to unplug charger during storage
period.
4. If battery does not charge properly:
a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in
some other electrical device.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a
light switch which turns power “off” when lights
are turned off.
c. Check battery pack terminals and charger
connectors for dirt. Clean with cotton swab and
alcohol if necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging, take
or send tool, battery pack and charger to your

If equipped with a lithium-ion battery, the
battery must be collected, recycled or disposed
of in an environ mentally sound manner.
“The EPA certified RBRC Battery
Recycling Seal on the lithium-ion
(Li-ion) battery indicates Robert
Bo sch To ol Corporation is
voluntarily participating in an
industry program to collect and recycle these
batteries at the end of their useful life, when
taken out of service in the United States or
Canada. The RBRC pr ogr am pr ovi des a
convenient alterative to placing used Li-ion
batteries into the trash or the munici pal waste
stream, which may be illegal in your area.

The manufacturer is not responsible for radio
in t erfe r ence caus ed by una u thor ized
mo d ific a tion s to th i s equ i pmen t . Suc h
modifications could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1) This devi ce may not cau se harmf ul
interference, and
2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
NOTE! This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
rules. These limits are designed to provide
re a sona b le prot e ctio n ag a inst har mful
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful inter feren ce to r adio
co m muni c atio ns. Howe ver, the re is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
ca u se harm f ul inter feren ce to radio or
television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• In creas e th e sep arati on b e twee n th e
equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circ uit d iffer ent from tha t to wh ich the
receiver is connected.
• Consu lt the d eal er or an ex perienc ed
radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution:
Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet.
With no battery pack inserted, the charger’s
green indicator light will go ON. This indicates
the charger is receiving power and the charger
is ready for operation.
When you insert the battery pack
into the charger. The charger’s
green indicator light will begin to
“BLINK”. This indicates that the
battery is receiving a fast charge.
Once approximately 80% battery capacity has
been reached, the blinking of green light will
slow down, indicating that fast charging is now
complete. If battery remains in charger, the
charging process is completed in Long Life
charging mode.
The purpose of the rapidly “BLINKING” green
light is to indicate that the battery pack is fastcharging. It does not indicate the exact point of
full charge. The light will stop blinking when
battery is fully charged.
Continuous green battery charger
light indicates that the battery is
fully charged. However, the battery
pack may be used at any time,
even if the green light is still blinking.
A steady red indicator light means
that the battery pack is outside the
proper temperature ranges (too
hot or too cold) so the charger will
not begin the charging process. Charging (Fast
or long Life Charging Mode) is only possible
when the temperature range of the battery
pack is between 32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C).
When needed, the internal fan of the charger
will turn on to aid the charging process and
speed.
As soon as the battery pack reaches the
correct temperature range, the battery charger
will automatically switch to fast charging.
If t he re d indi cat or lig ht is
“BLINK ING”, the bat tery pack
cannot accept a charge. This may
be due to the contacts on the
charger or battery pack is contaminated, the
battery pack itself may be defective, or battery
may be wrong type for this charger.
• Check to see if the battery is compatible
with charger by checking charger Warning
label.
• If applicable, insert another compatible
battery pack into charger to verify charger is
working properly.
• Clean the contacts of the charger or battery
pack (e. g. by using a cotton swab and alcohol
on battery and charger terminals or inserting
and removing the battery several times) or
replace the battery pack, as required.
When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug
the charger (unless you're charging another
battery pack) and slip the battery pack back
into the tool.
