SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read and understand all

instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed

below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.

 Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an

electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery tool or when changing
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

 Do not place battery tools or their batteries near

fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and

possibly injury.

 Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do

not use a battery pack or charger that has been
dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged

battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a
dropped or damaged battery immediately.

 Batteries can explode in the presence of a source

of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk

of serious personal injury, never use any cordless
product in the presence of open flame. An exploded
battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed,
flush with water immediately.

 Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet

location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

electric shock.

 Charge only with Craftsman dual-chemistry

battery chargers. Use of other chargers may result in
personal injury, fire, or damage.

 Do not charge battery in an area of extreme

heat or cold. It will work best at normal room
temperature. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.

 Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,

battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with
soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush
them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then
seek immediate medical attention. Following this

rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

 When battery pack is not in use, keep it away

from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

 Always remove battery pack from your tool when

you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery

pack will prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious personal injury.

 Always remove battery pack before storing the

device.

 Always wear eye protection with side shields

marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do

so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes
and other possible serious injuries.

 Keep battery pack dry, clean, and free from oil and

grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.

Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any solvents to clean battery pack.

 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently

and use them to instruct others who may use this
tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these
instructions.

OPERATION

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS

Lithium-ion batteries deliver fade free power for their
entire run time. Lithium-ion tools will not gradually lose
power due to decreasing battery charge. Instead, power
from the battery pack will drop from full to zero once the
full charge has been drained from the battery. Once this
happens, recharging of the battery is required.

It is not necessary to drain the battery pack completely
before recharging.

BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES

Lithium-ion battery packs are designed with features that
protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life.

If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset
and resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the
battery needs to be recharged.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

The lithium-ion battery pack can be used in temperatures
down to 32°F (0°C). Put the battery pack on a tool and use
the tool in a light duty application. After about a minute,
the pack will warm up and begin operating normally.

OPERATION MAINTENANCE

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

See Figure 1.

Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
prior to first use. 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.

 Refer to charger operator’s manual for charging

instructions.

CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK

When using a tool continuously, the battery pack may
become hot. A hot battery pack may be placed directly
onto the charger port but charging will not begin until
the battery temperature cools to within acceptable
temperature range. When a hot battery pack is placed
on the charger, the charger may indicate the pack is
not ready to charge. Please refer to charger operator’s
manual. When the battery pack cools, the charger will
automatically begin charging.

CHARGING A COLD BATTERY PACK

A cold battery pack may be placed directly onto the
charger port but charging will not begin until the battery
temperature warms to within acceptable temperature
range. When a cold battery pack is placed on the charger,
the charger may indicate the pack is not ready to charge.
Please refer to charger operator’s manual. When the
battery pack warms, the charger will automatically begin
charging.

BATTERIES

These batteries have been designed to provide maximum
trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will
eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack
and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these
batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could
result in a serious burn.

For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:

 Store the battery pack where the temperature is

below 80°F and away from moisture.

 Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged condition.

 Every six months of storage, charge the pack as

normal.
