CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge it until the light on front of charger changes from flashing green to continuous green.

NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they are charged. Allow several cycles (operation followed by recharging) for them to become fully charged. This is normal for nickel-cadmium batteries.

TO CHARGE

See Figure 2.

nCharge the battery pack only with the charger provided.

�n Make sure the power supply is normal house voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.

nConnect the charger to a power supply.

nAttach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the charger, then slide the battery pack onto the charger.

nAfter normal usage, 20 minutes of charging time is required to be fully charged.

nThe battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.

nDo not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.

nWhen the batteries become fully charged, unplug the char- ger from the power supply and remove the battery pack.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARG- ING A HOT BATTERY PACK

When using the drill 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. When the battery pack becomes discharged and is hot, the green LED will be off and the red LED will begin flashing.

When the battery pack cools down to approximately 104°F (40°C), the charger will automatically begin fast charge mode.

If the Red LED continues to flash for more than 90 minutes, and the green LED remains off, this may indicate a damaged battery that will not charge.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARG- ING A COOL BATTERY PACK

If the battery pack is below normal temperature range, the red LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off. When the battery warms to a temperature of more than 41°F (5°C), the charger will automatically begin fast charge mode.

NOTE: Refer to “CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK” for normal recharging of batteries. If the charger does not charge your battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to your nearest repair center for electrical check. For the location of your nearest repair center, please call 1-866-539-1710.
