CAUTION:

If at any point during the charging process none of the LEDs are lit, remove the battery pack from the charger to avoid damaging the product. DO NOT insert another battery. Return the charger and battery to your nearest service center for service or replacement.

CAUTION:

Charge in a well ventilated area. Do not block charger vents. Keep them clear to allow proper

ventilation.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

NOTE: New 24 Volt lithium-ion battery packs will not work without first being charged. Before first time use, charge the battery pack to activate it.

It is not necessary to drain the battery pack completely before recharging. Lithium-ion battery packs have no “memory” and can be recharged at any time. It is therefore possible to charge the battery pack before extended usage even if the battery pack is not completely drained of charge. Use the charge level indicator to determine the amount of charge in the battery pack.

Lithium-ion batteries deliver fade free power for their entire run time. 24 Volt lithium-ion tools will not gradually lose power due to decreasing battery charge. Instead, power from the battery pack will drop from full to zero once the full charge has been drained from the battery. Once this happens, the tool’s power drops from full to zero, and recharging of the battery is required
