BATTERY AND CHARGER
The first step in preparing a new tool for operation
is to fully charge the new Battery. New Batteries
are shipped discharged and must be charged for
24 hours before first use. All subsequent charges
will require at most a 3 hour charge.

Battery Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadium
(Ni-Cd) battery indicates Ramset is voluntarily
participating in an industry program to collect and
recycle these batteries at the end of their useful
life, when taken out of service in the United States
or Canada. The RBRCQ
®
program provides a
convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd
batteries into the trash or the municipal waste
stream, which may be illegal in your area. Please

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect the round plug of the wall mount unit
to the front of the charger base and plug the
wall mount unit into any 120V AC outlet. A LED
by the plug indicates the base unit has power.
2. Set the charger base on a stable surface and
insert the battery or batteries, contact first, into
the opening of the charger base.
3. The GypFast (G2) charger incorporates a
charge level indicator to inform the user of
the battery charge level.
A red light will illuminate at all times during
a charge cycle.
One green light
= battery at 50% capacity
Two green lights
= battery at 75% capacity
Three green lights
= battery at FULL capacity
The red light will not be lit when the
