OPERATION
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Lithium-ion batteries deliver fade free power for their entire
run time. 18 volt lithium-ion tools will not gradually lose power
due to decreasing battery charge. Instead, power from the
battery pack will drop from full to zero once the full charge
has been drained from the battery. Once this happens,
recharging of the battery is required.
It is not necessary to drain the battery pack completely
before recharging. Lithium-ion battery packs have no
“memory” and can be recharged at any time. It is therefore
possible to charge the battery pack before extended us-
age even if the battery pack is not completely drained of
charge.
TO CHARGE
A fully discharged battery pack with a temperature between
32°F (0°C) and 150°F (65°C) will charge in about an hour.
Connect the charger to a power supply.
NOTE:iIf needed, the charger can operate with most
generators and inverters rated at 300 Watts or higher.
Attach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the
raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the
charger, then slide the battery pack onto the charger. See
Figure 2.
Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
After charging is complete, the continuous green light will
come on.
The charger will keep the battery pack fully charged if left
on the charger.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
If the battery pack is above normal temperature range, the
red LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off.
When the battery pack cools down to approximately 150°F
(65°C), the charger will automatically begin fast charge mode.
NOTE: Refer to CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK for
normal recharging of batteries. If the charger does not charge
the battery pack under normal circumstances, return both
the battery pack and charger to your nearest repair center
for electrical check. For the location of your nearest repair
center, please call 1-866-539-1710.
CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK
If the battery pack is below normal temperature range, the
red LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off.
When the battery warms to a temperature of more than 32°F
(0°C), the charger will automatically begin charge mode.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
The lithium-ion battery pack can be used in temperatures
down to -4°F. Put the battery pack on a tool and use the
tool in a light duty application. After about a minute, the pack
will have warmed up and begin operating normally.
