Charge only Chicago Pneumatic
9.6V, 12V, 14.4V, 18V battery packs
in chargers. Other types of batter-
ies may explode causing personal
injury and damage.
Charge your battery pack before using your
tool for the first time and when your tool no
longer performs with the power and torque
needed for the job. Full loading capacity of
battery pack is only reached after
4 - 5 chargings. Never completely dis-
charge the battery pack. Standard charg-
ing time will vary according to the type of
charger you use. The charging time will
also vary depending on the supply voltage
and charge needed. For example, if your
battery pack does not require a full charge,
charging time will be less.
FOR SPECIFIC CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS,
PLEASE READ THE CHARGER INSTRUC-
TION SHEET SUPPLIED WITH YOUR
CHARGER.
Battery packs are affected by tempera-
ture. Your battery pack will perform best
and have longest life if it is charged when
the temperature is between 60°-80°F
(15°-27°C). Do not charge in temperatures
below 40°F (5°C) or above 105°F (40°C).
Under these conditions, capacity will be
reduced. See "Maintenance".
Removing Battery Pack from Tool
Push in the release buttons and remove
the battery pack.
