SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and observe these instructions before using
the device.
Before using the device check that the mains cable
and mains plug are not damaged.
The device must not be damp, neither should it be
used in a damp environment.
Do not use the device if it has suffered any heavy
shock or jolting, or is damaged in any other way.
Due to the heat generated during charging, the battery
charger should not be operated on a combustible
surface/in an inflammable environment.
Do not cover the ventilating slits.
Never disassemble the device yourself.
Pull the plug of the battery charger out of the socket
when it is not in use or when cleaning it.
Only use extension cable that is approved and
technically in perfect condition.
During operation provide sufficient ventilation.
Malfunction during charging can be caused by storing
and operating in places where the temperature
exceeds +40°C (+104°F); this should be avoided.
Battery charging in closed cupboards, near heat
sources (radiators, bright sunshine) causes heat to
accumulate and can damage the device.
If the battery is not going to be used for a longer
period, pull the battery off the battery charger and pull
out the mains plug.
Protect battery contact to avoid a short circuit caused
by metallic object that can cause a fire or explosion!
Only charge original recommended batteries.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by an Authorised Service Center in order to avoid a
hazard.

Battery
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 comes 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.
Use battery pack only with the recommended charger.
Connect the charger to the power supply. Make sure
the power supply is 12 V DC.

Page 6
English
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.
Place the battery pack in the charger aligning raised
rib on the battery pack with the groove in 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 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 10°C (50°F)
but less than 38°C (100°F).
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 LED will remain
on until the battery pack is removed from the charger
or charger is disconnected from the power supply.
When batteries become fully charged, unplug the
charger from the power supply and remove the battery
pack.
To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress
the latches on each side of the battery pack.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
If the battery pack is above normal temperature range, the
red LED will begin ashing and the green LED will be off.
When the battery pack cools down to approximately 50°C
(122°F), the charger will automatically begin fast charge
mode.
CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK
If the battery pack is below normal temperature range, the
red LED will begin ashing and the green LED will be off.
When the battery warms to a temperature of more than
0°C (32°F), the charger will automatically begin charge
mode.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
The lithium-ion battery pack can be used in temperatures
down to -20°C (-4°F). Put the battery pack on a tool and
use the tool in a light duty application. After about a
minute, the pack will have warmed up and begin operating
normally.
ENERGIZING BATTERY CHARGER
See gure 3
By holding the connector rmly, place connector into a
cigarette lighter receptacle or “power point” to energize
battery charger; red power LED will come on.
CAUTION
If the 12 V adapter does not t rmly into the cigarette
lighter receptacle or power point, the receptacle
may not be suitable for use with the charger. A poor
connection at the base of the 12 V adapter could lead
to electrical problems in the vehicle outside of the
protections offered by the vehicle or charger’s fuse.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the
battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing
any maintenance.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil and grease.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake uids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
CHANGING FUSE
See gure 4
The 12 V adapter contains a 250 V 8 Amp fuse to protect
the adapter and charger from unexpected power surges.
To replace the fuse:
Unscrew the fuse cap on the top of the 12 V adapter.
Replace old fuse with new one. If spring comes out, be
sure to reinsert it before replacing new fuse.
Thread fuse cap back onto adapter. Tighten securely.
BATTERIES
This charger will accept Ryobi 14.4V and 18V lithiumion batteries or Ryobi 14.4V and 18V nickel-cadmium
batteries. Length of service from each charging will
depend on the type of work you are doing.

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:
For lithium-ion batteries:
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
27°C (80°F) and away from moisture.
Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged condition.
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as
normal.
For nickel-cadmium batteries:
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
27°C (80°F).
Store battery packs in a “discharged” condition.

Please recycle where facilities exist.
Check with your local authority or
retailer for recycling advice.
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. Lithium-ion and 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 re and/or serious injury.
