smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Do not place any object on top of the charger or
place the charger on a soft surface that might block
the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal
heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat
source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top
and the bottom of the housing.
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord
or plug–have them replaced immediately.
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized service center.
Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an
authorized service center when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fire.
Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk
of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not
reduce this risk.
NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
The charger is designed to operate on standard
120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to
get inside the charger. Electric shock may result.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the
battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to
enter the battery pack. 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.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only CRAFTSMAN rechargeable battery packs.

Not Recommended
Other types of batteries may overheat and burst
resulting in personal injury and property damage.

CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the charger can
be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials
of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to,
grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum
foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be
kept away from the charger cavities. Always unplug
the charger from the power supply when there is no
battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before
attempting to clean.

Charging a Battery

nOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of
lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully
before first use.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting battery pack.
2. Connect the charger and battery pack, making sure
the battery is fully seated. The (charging) light will
blink continuously indicating that the charging process
has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the light
remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully
charged and may be removed and used at this time or
left in the charger.
nOTE: To remove the battery pack, some chargers require
the battery pack release button to be pressed.

Fully Charged
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
A charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger
refusing to light could indicate a problem with the charger.
nOTE: If the charger refuses to light, take the charger and
battery pack to be tested at an authorized service center.
hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery pack life.
A cold battery pack may charge at a slower rate than a
warm battery pack.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature
is between 65 °F – 75 °F (18 ° C– 24 °C). DO NOT charge
when the battery pack is below +40 °F (+4.5 °C), or
above +104 °F (+40 °C). This is important and will
prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
