Do not insert another bat- tery pack into the charger. A damaged charger may damage a 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 overnight prior to use.

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.

nCharge battery pack only with the charging assembly provided.

nMake sure power supply is normal household voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.

nConnect charger to power supply.

nPlace battery pack in charging stand. Align raised rib on battery pack with groove in charging stand. See

nPress down on battery pack to be sure contacts on battery pack engage properly with contacts in charging stand.

nThe charge indicator light (LED), located on the charg- ing stand, will light up red and glow when the charger is properly connected to power supply. This light indicates the charger is operating properly. It will remain on until battery pack is removed from charging stand or charger is disconnected from power supply.

nAfter normal usage, 3 hours or less of charging time is required to fully recharge battery pack.

nIf both red and orange LED indicators glow, the bat- tery pack is deeply or completely discharged, and 6 hours or longer of charging time is required to fully recharge battery pack.

NOTE: If charger does not charge battery pack or orange LED continues to glow after more than 30 minutes of charging, return battery pack and charging assembly to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for electri- cal check.

nThe battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
