The battery in your new cordless power tool will not be fully charged when you receive it. To maximize the storage capac- ity of the battery it should be completely discharged, then fully recharged
For optimal life span, completely discharge the battery before charging. Follow the instructions below to charge your battery.
Battery charging with the 1 hour “Smart” charger (1 piece charger):
1.Plug the charger into an appropriate 110/120V outlet.
2.Insert the battery into the charger as in Figure 1. The battery fits into the oval recess in only one way. Do not force the battery. Insert until it locks into place.
3.The green light over the word “OFF” on the control panel should come on. If it doesn’t, make certain the wall out- let you are plugged into is working. If the outlet power is okay, the fuse inside the charger may have blown. Fuses should be replaced by a quali- fied electrical technician.
4.To begin charging, press the “SET” button. A steady red light over the word “ON” should come on indicating the battery is being charged.
5.When the battery is fully charged, the green light will come on and the unit will stop charging. Remove the bat- tery from the charger upon comple- tion of the charge cycle.
