OPERATION
CAUTION:
If at any point during the charging process none of the
LEDs are lit, remove the battery pack from the charger
to avoid damaging the product. DO NOT insert another
battery. Return the charger and battery to your nearest
service center for service or replacement.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 7.
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.
Charge battery pack only with the charging assembly
provided.
Make sure power supply is normal household voltage,
120 V, AC only, 60 Hz.
Connect charger to power supply.
Place battery pack in charging stand. Align raised rib
on battery pack with groove in charging stand.
Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts on battery
pack engage properly with contacts in charging stand.
The charge indicator light (LED), located on the charging
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.
After normal usage, 3 hours or less of charging time is
required to fully recharge battery pack.
If both red and orange LED indicators glow, the
battery 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 electrical
check.
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 normal room temperature.
When batteries become fully charged, unplug charger
from power supply and remove the battery pack.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using the tool continuously, the batteries in the
battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery
pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before
attempting to recharge.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
the product causes the batteries to become hot. It does not
occur under normal circumstances. Refer to CHARGING
THE BATTERY PACK for normal recharging of batteries.
If the charging assembly does not charge the battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack
and charging assembly to your nearest Ryobi Authorized
Service Center for electrical check.
