LED FUNCTIONS OF CHARGER
LED WILL BE ON TO INDICATE STATUS OF CHARGER AND BATTERY PACK:
[] Red LED on = Fast charging mode.
[] Green LED on = Fully charged and in maintenance charge mode.

[] Yellow and Green LEDs on = Deeply discharged or defective battery pack.
[] No LED on = Defective charger or battery pack.
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 green LED on the front of the charger comes on.
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.
[] Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the charger.
[] Normally the red LED on charger will come on. This indicates the charger is in fast charging mode.
[] Red LED should remain on for approximately 1 hour then the green LED will come on. Green LED on indicates battery pack is fully charged and charger is in maintenance charge mode.
NOTE: The green LED will remain on until the battery pack is removed from the charger or charger is disconnected from the power supply.
[] If both yellow and green LEDs come on, this indicates a deeply discharged or defective battery pack. Allow the battery pack to remain in the charger for 15 to 30 minutes. When the battery pack reaches normal voltage range, the red LED should come on. If the red LED does not come on after 30 minutes, this may indicate a defective battery pack and should be replaced.
[] After normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging time is required to fully recharge battery pack.
[] The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
[] Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of extreme heat or cold. They will work best at normal room temperature.
NOTE: The charger and battery pack should be placed in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F.
[] When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger from power supply and remove the battery pack.
