CHARGING BATTERY PACK (STANDARD CHARGER)
Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet, then slide battery pack into charger
(Fig. 4). The charger’s green light will turn
“ON”. The green light remains ‘‘ON’’ as long as
charger is plugged in, and does not shut off.
After normal usage, the battery pack requires
approximately 3 hours or less charging time

CHARGING BATTERY PACK (FAST CHARGER)
Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet, then slide the battery pack into charger
(Fig. 5).
The charger’s green indicator will begin to
“BLINK”. This indicates that the battery is
receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will
automatically stop when the battery pack is
fully charged.
When the indicator light stops “BLINKING”
(and becomes a steady green light) fast
charging is complete.
BATTERY
PACK
When you begin the charging process of the
battery pack, a steady green light could also
mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.
The purpose of the light is to indicate that the
battery pack is fast-charging. It does not
indicate the exact point of full charge. The
light will stop blinking in less time if the
battery pack was not completely discharged.
When the battery pack is fully charged,
unplug the charger (unless you're charging
another battery pack) and slip the battery
pack back into the tool handle.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. The battery pack accepts only about 80%
of its maximum capacity with its first few
c
harge cycles. However, after the first few
c
harge cycles, the battery will charge to full
capacity.
2. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery
temperature is between 50˚F (10˚C) and
100˚F (38˚C).
3. A substantial drop in operating time per
charge may mean that the battery pack is
nearing the end of its life and should be
replaced.
If you anticipate long periods (i.e. a month
4.
or more) of non-use of your tool, it is best to
run your tool down until it is fully discharged
before storing your battery pack. After a long
period of storage, the capacity at first recharge
will be lower. Normal capacity will be restored
in two or three charge/discharge cycles.
