▶ Important Charging Notes
1. The charger was designed to fast
charge the battery only when the
battery temperature is between 32˚F
(0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). If the battery
pack is too hot or too cold, the
charger will not begin charging the
battery. (This may happen if the
battery pack is hot from heavy use).
Once the battery temperature returns
to its safe charging temperature,
between 32°F (0°C) and 113°F
(45°C), the charger will automatically
begin charging.
2. 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.
3. Remember to unplug charger during
storage period.
4. If battery does not charge properly:
a. Check for voltage at outlet by
plugging in some other electrical
device.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected
to a light switch which turns power
“off” when lights are turned off.
c. Check battery pack terminals and
charger connectors for dirt. Clean
with cotton swab and alcohol if
n
ecessary.
d. If you still do not get proper
charging, take or send tool, battery

Service Center. See “Tools, Electric”
in the Yellow Pages for names and
