CHARGING BATTERY PACK (3 HOUR CHARGER)

Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet. Before inserting battery pack, remove protective cap, then insert battery pack into charger (Fig. 6).

The charger’s green light (Fig. 7), will turn “ON”. The green light remains ‘‘ON’’ as long as charger is plugged in, and does not shut off.

After normal usage, the battery pack requires approximately 3 hours or less charging time to become fully charged. If the battery pack is

run-down completely, it may require up to 5 hours charging time to become fully charged.

When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug the charger (unless you're charging another battery pack) and slip the battery pack back into the tool handle.

To prevent fire or injury when batteries are not in tool or charger, always place protective cap onto end of battery pack.

BATTERY PACK

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1.The battery pack accepts only about 80% of its maximum capacity with its first few charge cycles. However, after the first few charge cycles, the battery will charge to full capacity.

2.The charger was designed to fast charge the battery only when the battery temperature is between 40˚F (4˚C) and 105˚F (41˚C).

3.A substantial drop in operating time per charge may mean that the battery pack is nearing the end of its life and should be replaced.

4.If you anticipate long periods (i.e. a month or more) of non-use of your tool, it is best to run your tool down until it is fully discharged before storing your battery pack. After a long period of storage, the capacity at first recharge will be lower. Normal capacity will be restored in two or three charge/discharge cycles.

Remember to unplug charger during storage period.

5.If battery does not charge properly:

a.Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in some other electrical device.

b.Check to see if outlet is connected to a light switch which turns power “off” when lights are turned off.

c.Check battery pack terminals for dirt. Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if necessary.

d.If you still do not get proper charging, take or send tool, battery pack and charger to your local Skil Service Center. See “Tools, Electric” in the Yellow Pages for names and addresses.

Note: Use of charger’s or battery packs not sold by Skil will void the warranty.
