•If you try to charge a cartridge from a just-operated tool,
sometimes the charging light will not come on. If this
occurs, let the cartridge cool off for a while. Then re-
insert it and try to charge it once more.
•When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery
cartridge which has not been used for a long period, it
may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition
and does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the
battery cartridge fully after discharging it completely and
recharging a couple of times.
•If you wish to charge two battery cartridges, allow 15
minutes between charging on the battery charger.

1. Plug the battery charger into the proper AC voltage
source. The charging light will flash in green color.
2. Insert the battery cartridge so that the plus and minus
terminals on the battery cartridge are on the same sides
as their respective markings on the charger. Insert the
cartridge fully into the port so that it rests on the charger
port floor.
3. When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light
color will change from green to red and charging will
begin. The charging light will remain lit steadily during
charging.
4. When the charging light color changes from red to
green, the charging cycle is complete.
5. If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger after the
charging cycle is complete, the charger will switch into
its “trickle charge (maintenance charge)” mode.
6. After charging, unplug the charger from the power
source.
