Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers



WARNING:Read all safety warnings,

instructions, and cautionary markings for the
battery pack, charger and product. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.

• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with
any chargers other than a CRAFTSMAN charger.

CRAFTSMAN charger and battery pack are specifically
designed to worktogether.

• These chargers are not intended for any uses other

than charging CRAFTSMAN rechargeable batteries.

Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock
orelectrocution.

• Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.

• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug andcord.

• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not

be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected
to damage orstress.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in

risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.

• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide

a dry location and use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electricshock.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The
smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in

line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

• Do not place any object on top of the charger or
place the charger on a soft surface that might block
the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal
heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat

source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top
and the bottom of thehousing.

• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord
orplug–have them replaced immediately.

• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp

blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized servicecenter.

• Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an
authorized service center when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of

electric shock, electrocution orfire.

• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before

attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of
electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce

thisrisk.

• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargerstogether.

• The charger is designed to operate on standard

120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the

vehicularcharger.



WARNING:Shock hazard. Do not allow

any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric shock
mayresult.



WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not

submerge the battery pack in any liquid or allow any
liquid to enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open
the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing
of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service
center for recycling.

Transportation.



WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store

or carry the battery pack so that metal objects
can contact exposed battery terminals. For

example, do not place the battery pack in aprons,
pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc.,
with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting

batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery
terminals inadvertently come in contact with
conductive materials such as keys, coins,
hand tools and the like. The US Department of

Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations
(HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in
commerce or on airplanes in carry-on baggage
UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits.
So when transporting individual battery packs, make
sure that the battery terminals are protected and well
insulated from materials that could contact them and
cause a short circuit. NOTE: LI-ION batteries should
not be put in checkedbaggage.



CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the

risk of injury, charge only CRAFTSMANrechargeable
battery packs. Other types of batteries may
overheat and burst resulting in personal injury and
propertydamage.



CAUTION:Under certain conditions,

with the charger plugged into the power supply, the
charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign
materials of a conductive nature, such as, but not
limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,
aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from the charger cavities. Always
unplug the charger from the power supply when there
is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger
before attempting toclean.

Charging a Battery

NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium­ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before
firstuse.

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting batterypack.

2. Connect the charger and battery pack, making sure
the battery is fully seated. The (charging) light will
blink continuously indicating that the charging process
hasstarted.

3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the light
remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully
charged and may be removed and used at this time or
left in the charger.

NOTE: To remove the battery pack, some chargers require
the battery pack release button to bepressed.

Indicators

Charging

Fully Charged

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

A charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger
refusing to light could indicate a problem with the charger.

NOTE: If the charger refuses to light, take the charger and
battery pack to be tested at an authorized servicecenter.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery packlife.

A cold battery pack may charge at a slower rate than a
warm batterypack.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature
is between 65°F – 75°F (18°C – 24°C). DO NOT charge
when the battery pack is below +40°F (+4.5°C), or
above +104°F (+40°C). This is important and will
prevent serious damage to the batterypack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulatedtrailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp

or other appliance;

b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light

switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights;

c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location

where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 65°F – 75°F (18° C– 24°C);

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery

pack and charger to your local servicecenter.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may
also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire
with no adverse effect on the batterypack.

5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from charger cavities. Always
unplug the charger from the power supply when there
is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger
before attempting toclean.

6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any
otherliquid.

Charger Cleaning Instructions



WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect
