WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all

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

• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings in this manual, on
charger, on battery, and on product in order to prevent misuse of the products and
possible injury or property damage.

WARNING: Charge only compatible 18V ProTeam batteries that are made to fit this

charger. Do not modify other batteries to fit this charger. Other types of batteries may
burst, causing personal injury or damage.

• Do not use charger outdoors or expose to wet or damp conditions. Water entering charger
will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse cord or charger. Never use the cord to carry the charger. Do not pull the
charger cord when disconnecting from receptacle. Grasp and pull the plug body only.
Damage to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric shock hazard. If cord or
charger is damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized serviceman.

• Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in contact
with sharp edges or moving parts, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. This will
reduce the risk of accidental falls, damage to the cord, and electric shock.

• Keep cord and charger from heat to prevent damage to housing or internal parts.

• Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc. come in contact with plastic

parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.

• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be
used, make sure:

a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of

plug on charger.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c. Do not use an extension cord that is longer than 100 feet and less than 16 AWG.

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

• To reduce the risk of shorting or electric shock, do not operate charger with a damaged
cord or plug. If damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized serviceman.

• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized serviceman to determine if the charger is in
good working order.

• Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an authorized serviceman when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.

• Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in use. This will reduce the risk of
electric shock or damage to the charger if metal items should fall into the opening and
will help prevent damage to the charger during a power surge.

• Risk of electric shock. Do not touch uninsulated portion of output connector or
uninsulated battery terminal.

CHARGING

See Figure 2
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge

condition to prevent possible problems.
Therefore, you should charge them
before first use. If the charger does not
charge your battery pack under normal
circumstances, contact ProTeam Customer
Service.

Charge time is dependent upon the type
of battery pack and the existing level of
charge.

• Make sure the power supply is normal
household voltage, 120 volts, AC only,
60 Hz.

• Connect the charger to a power
supply.

• Attach the battery pack to the
charger by aligning the raised ribs on
the battery pack with the grooves in
the charger, then slide the battery
pack onto the charger.

• Press down on the battery pack to
be sure contacts on the battery pack
engage properly with contacts in the
charger.

• Do not place the charger in an area
of extreme heat or cold. It will work
best at normal room temperature.

• The battery pack will become slightly
warm to the touch while charging.
This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.

• After charging is complete, the green
LEDs will remain on while the charger
is in Maintenance mode.

• After completing Maintenance mode,
the green LEDs will begin fading
on/off continuously. This indicates
the battery is fully charged and the
charger is in Energy Save mode.

• Charger will periodically wake
from Energy Save mode to ensure
the battery pack remains in a fully
charged state.

• To remove the battery pack from the
charger, pull up on the battery pack.

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 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
the battery pack warms, the charger will
automatically begin charging.
