CHARGER OPERATION

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Before using your PowerLuber for the irst
time, the battery pack should be charged for
12 hours. If the battery pack is installed in the
PowerLuber, remove it and follow "Charging
Procedure" below.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
Make sure power circuit voltage is the same
as that shown on the charger speciication
plate.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet
before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. The
red (charging) light will blink continuously
indicating that the charging process has
started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated
by the red light remaining ON continuously.
The pack is fully charged and may be used
at this time.
4. The battery pack may be left on the trickle
charge until you are ready to use.
5. Disconnect charger from power source when
not in use.
120/230 volts present at charging terminals. Do
not probe with conductive objects. Danger of
electric shock or electrocution.
INDICATOR LIGHT OPERATION
CHARGE INDICATORS
The charger is designed to detect certain
problems that can arise with battery packs.
Problems are indicated by the red light lashing
at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery
pack into the charger. If the problem persists,
try a different battery pack to determine if
the charger is O.K. If the new pack charges
correctly, then the original pack is defective
and should be returned to a service center or
other collection site for recycling. If the new
battery pack elicits the same trouble indication
as the original, have the charger tested at an
authorized service center.

LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE
CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left con-
nected with the red light glowing indeinitely.
The charger will keep the battery pack fresh
and fully charged.
NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge
when kept out of the charger. If the battery
pack has not been kept on maintenance
charge, it may need to be recharged before
use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its
charge if left in a charger that is not plugged
into an appropriate AC source.
As a battery pack approaches the discharged
state, you will notice a sharp drop in tool perfor-
mance. When the tool is unable to perform the
task at hand, it is time to recharge the battery
pack. Discharging the pack beyond this point
can damage the pack.
NOTE: Battery temperature will increase during
and shortly after use. Batteries may not accept
a full charge if they are charged immediately
after use. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before charging for best results.
Vent slots in top and bottom of charger must
not be obstructed. Do not charge battery when
temperature is BELOW 32° F (0° C) or ABOVE
104° F (40° C).

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 and 75°
F (18° - 24° 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 the touch while charging. This is
a normal condition, and does not indicate a
problem.
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 the receptacle is con-
nected to a light switch which turns power
off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a loca-
tion where the surrounding air temperature
is approximately 65° F - 75° F (18 - 24° C).
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool,
battery pack and charger to your local
service center.
