Work Piece and Work Area Set Up

1.Designate a work area that is clean and well- lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.

2.Route the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.

3.Secure loose work pieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working.

4.There must not be objects, such as utility lines, nearby that will present a hazard while working.

Charging

1.Place the Battery Pack on a dry fireproof surface in a room where the temperature is from 50–104° F.

Note: If recharging a newly spent Battery Pack, allow it to cool completely before charging.

Make sure the Battery Pack is undamaged; do not charge a cracked or leaking battery pack.

2.Disconnect the Cord from the Battery Charger. Attach the Adapter plug to a grounded, 120 V~, 60 Hz outlet.

3.Plug the Charger into the power supply. The red light on the Charger will light, showing that power is supplied to the Charger.

4.IMPORTANT: When Battery is fully charged, the red light will continue to stay lit. WARNING!

Note: The Battery Pack’s capacity will increase somewhat during the first few charging cycles. A fully discharged battery will take about 3 to 5

hours to fully charge. CAUTION! Recharging the Battery Pack for more than 5 hours can damage the battery cells. Keep track of charging time.

5.While charging, the Battery Pack and Charger, and Adapter may become warm to the touch. This is normal, and does not indicate a problem.
