CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK WITH
BATTERY CHARGER

• Remove the battery pack from the tool for charging at a

convenient time. The R2 Rechargeable Speed Ratchet
batteries do not develop a “memory” when charged
after only a partial discharge. It is not necessary to run
down the battery pack before placing it on the charger.

• You can “Top-Off” your battery pack’s charge before

starting

a big job or an expected long period of use.

• The only time it is necessary to charge the R2

Rechargeable Speed Ratchet lithium-ion battery pack
is when the battery pack has reached the end of its
charge. To signal the end of charge (indicator light is
continuous red), power to the tool will drop quickly. The
battery pack will need to be charged.

• When using the R2 Rechargeable Speed Ratchet with

lithium-ion batteries, usage must halt and the batteries
charged immediately when LED indicator light shows
continuous red (low voltage protection). This is in order
to prevent damage and ensure product lifespan.

• When lithium-ion batteries are left unused for over 3

months, they must be charged before use in order to
maintain their lifespan.

• Lithium-ion batteries must be charged periodically in

order to maintain their lifespan.

HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK

• Align the battery pack with the bay and slide/insert

the battery pack into the battery charger as far as
possible. The LED light will come on, either flashing or
continuous.

• A fully discharged battery pack with an internal

temperature in the normal range will charge in
approximately 45 minutes.

• After charging is complete, the green indicator light will

stay lit.

• The battery charger will keep the battery pack fully

charged as long as it is left on the charger.

• If the indicator light does not come on, check that the

battery pack is fully seated into the bay. Remove the
battery pack and reinsert. If the indicator light still does
not come on, contact a service agent.

• If the light continues to flash red and green at the

same time on the charger, the battery pack may be
excessively hot (104°F/40°C or more) or cold (32°F/0°C
or less). Allow the battery pack to cool down, warm up,
and then reinsert.

*

If the problem persists, contact a service agent. Once

the battery pack is within the acceptable range, normal
charging will take place.

the same time on the charger, the battery pack may
be excessively hot (40°C/104°F or more) or cold
(0°C/32°F or less). Allow the battery pack to cool
down, warm up, and then reinsert. If the problem
persists, contact a service agent. Once the battery
pack is within the acceptable range, normal charging
will take place.

5. When the battery is no longer operative, please refer
to an authorized after-sales service agent.

6. If the R2 Rechargeable Speed Ratchet break down
despite the great care taking during manufacture
and testing, you should have an authorized customer
service center for carry out any repairs.

7. You must indicate the reference number on the
power tool’s nameplate if you have any question or
need order replacement parts.

10. Clean the tool regularly with a dry cloth. Do not use oil,
gasoline, paint thinner, water, metal, water chemicals,
flammable materials or other corrosive liquid, all of
which may damage the tool.

11. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
