Batteries vent hydrogen gas and 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 in a damp or wet location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
For best results, your battery should be charged in a
location where the temperature is more than 50°F but
less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
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 also to prevent misuse of the product and
possible injury.

WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power
tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire
or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
Never use a battery 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.
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 burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
OPERATION
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge it
until the green LED on the front of the charger comes on.
NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they
are charged. Allow several cycles (operation followed by
recharging) for them to become fully charged.
CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK
If battery pack is below normal temperature range, the green
LED on charger will come on. Allow battery pack to reach
normal temperature, then the red LED will come on.
NOTE: 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 charger provided.
Make sure the power supply is normal household
voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
Connect the charger to the power supply.
Place the battery pack in the charger aligning raised rib
on the battery pack with the groove in the charger. See
Figure 1.
Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger.
Normally the red LED on charger will come on. This
indicates the charger is in fast charging mode.

Red LED should remain on for approximately 1 hour
then the green LED will come on. Green LED on
indicates battery pack is fully charged and charger is in
maintenance charge mode.
Fig. 1
NOTE: The green LED will remain on until the battery pack
is removed from the charger or charger is
disconnected from the power supply.
If both yellow and green LEDs come on, this indicates 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.
After normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging time
is required to fully recharge battery pack.
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 power supply and remove the battery pack.
MAINTENANCE
BATTERIES
The battery pack is equipped with nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging 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 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.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully
charged and ready for use.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
80°F.
Store battery packs in a “discharged” condition.
BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND
PREPARATION FOR RECYCLING
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of batteries properly.
This product contains nickel- cadmium batteries. Local, state or federal laws may prohibit disposal of nickel- cadmium batteries in
ordinary trash.
Consult your local waste authority for information regarding
available recycling and/or disposal options.
WARNING: Upon removal, cover the battery pack’s
terminals with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not
attempt to destroy or disassemble battery pack or
remove any of its components. Nickel-cadmium
batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Also, never touch both terminals with metal objects
and/or body parts as short circuit may result. Keep
away from children. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.
