charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated by the green LED

CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise
with the battery packs or the power source. Problems are indicated
by one LED flashing in different patterns.
BAD BATTERY
The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The red
LED flashes in the pattern indicated on the label. If you see this
bad battery blink pattern, do not continue to charge the battery.
Return it to a service center or a collection site for recycling.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
When the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot
or excessively cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has normalized.
After this happens, the charger automatically switches to
the Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum
battery life. The red LED flashes in the pattern indicated on
the label when the hot / cold pack delay is detected.
LEAVING THE BATTERY IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the green
LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack
fresh and fully charged.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the
battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 60°F
and 80°F (16°- 27°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air
temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This
is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch
while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate
a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment
such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other
appliance
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch
which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately 60°F and 80°F
(16°- 27°C)
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and
charger to your local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously.
DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the
charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack
whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited
to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the
charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the
cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get
inside charger. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks,
return to a service center for recycling.
