IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery temperature
is between 32˚F (0˚C) and 140˚F (60˚C). If the
battery pack is too hot or too cold, the charger
will not fast charge the battery. (This may
happen if the battery pack is hot from heavy
use). When the battery temperature returns to
between 32˚F (0˚C) and 140˚F (60˚C), the
charger will automatically begin charging.
2. A substantial drop in operating time per
charge may mean that the battery 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:

CHARGING BATTERY PACK (BC430 30 MINUTE CHARGER)
Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet, then insert battery pack into charger
(Fig. 2).
The charger’s green indicator light will begin to
“BLINK”. This indicates that the battery is
receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will
automatically stop when the battery pack is
fully charged.
When the indicator light stops “BLINKING”
(and becomes a steady green light) fast
charging is complete.
The battery pack may be used even though
the light may still be blinking. The light may
require more time to stop blinking depending
on temperature. When you begin the
charging process of the battery pack, a
steady red light could also mean the battery
pack is too hot or too cold.
The purpose of the green light is to indicate
that the battery pack is fast-charging. It does
not indicate the exact point of full charge.
The light will stop blinking in less time if the
battery pack was not completely discharged.

WARNING
!
If an extension cord is
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable
of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used.
This will prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
