OPERATION

APPLICATIONS

You may use this product for the following purposes:

Ŷ Charging compatible RYOBI 14.4 Volt and 18 Volt

battery packs.

BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES

RYOBI One+ 18 V and 14.4 V lithium-ion batteries 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.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

USE ONLY RYOBI ONE+ 18 V AND 14.4 V BATTERY
PACKS WITH THIS CHARGER:

Battery packs for this tool are shipped in a low charge
condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you
should charge them until the green LED on the front of the
charger stays on.

CHARGING A BATTERY PACK

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.

Ŷ Charge the battery pack only with the charger

provided.

Ŷ Make sure the power supply is normal household

voltage, 220V-240V, 50Hz, AC only.

Ŷ Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack

snap into place and the battery pack is secured in the
charger before beginning operation.

Ŷ Connect the charger to the power supply.

Ŷ Place the battery pack in the charger, aligning the

raised rib on the battery pack with the groove in the
charger.

Ŷ Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts

on the battery pack engage properly with contacts in
the charger.

NOTE: After charging is complete, the green LED will
remain on until the battery pack is removed from the
charger or charger is disconnected from the power supply.

Ŷ The battery pack will become slightly warm to the

touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.

Ŷ Do not place the charger and battery pack in an

area of extreme heat or cold. They will work best at
normal room temperature.

Ŷ NOTE: The charger and battery pack should be

placed in a location where the temperature is more
than 10°C but less than 38°C.

Ŷ

When batteries become fully charged, unplug the

charger from the power supply and remove the battery
pack.

Ŷ To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress

the latches on each side of the battery pack.

CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK

When using a tool continuously, the batteries in the battery
pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack
cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting
to recharge.
