OPERATION

After normal usage, 1 hour of charge time is required to be fully charged. A minimum charge time of 1 to 1- 1/2 hours is required to recharge a completely dis- charged tool.

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

DO NOT place charger in an area of extreme heat or cold. It will work best at temperatures above 50°F and below 100°F.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RE- CHARGING HOT BATTERIES

When using your hand vac continuously, the batteries in your battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes be- fore attempting to recharge.

NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of your hand vac causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to “Charging Your Hand Vac” for normal recharging of bat- teries. If the charger/charging assembly does not charge your battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger/charging assembly to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for elec- trical check.
