K-39 Battery Charger Setup
Battery Charging Procedure:
WARNING
Before using the battery charger, read all the in-
structions included with the battery and charger.
1. Locate the charger so the cord and charger will not be
stepped on, tripped over or be subjected to damage.
Do not expose charger to wet environment such as
rain or snow.
2. Charge battery cartridge in temperatures above 40°F
(4°C) and below 105°F (41°C). Store tool and battery
cartridge in location where temperatures do not ex-
ceed 120°F (49°C) or go below 40°F (4°C). Allow
battery pack to return to room temperature before
attempting to charge.
3. Plug the battery charger into the proper A/C voltage
source.
To avoid electric shock and electrical fires,
WARNING
never use an extension cord that is damaged or does not
meet the following requirements:
• The cord has pins on line plug that are similar in size
and shape to those of the plug on the charger.
• The cord is rated as "W" or "W-A" if being used
outdoors.
• The cord has sufficient wire thickness (16 AWG
below 100'). If the wire thickness is too small, the
cord may overheat, melting the cord's insulation
or causing nearby objects to ignite.
4. Before inserting battery pack, remove protective cap.
then insert battery pack into charger.
5. When battery cartridge is inserted, the charger's
green indicator will begin to "BLINK". This indicates
that the battery is receiving a fast charge. Fast-charg-
ing will automatically stop when the battery pack is fully
charged.
When the indicator light stops " BLINKING" (and be-
comes a steady green light) fast charging is complete.

pack, a steady green light could also mean the battery
pack is too hot or too cold.
The purpose of the light is to indicate that the battery
pack is fast-charging. It does not indicate the exact
point of full charge. The light will stop blinking in less
time if the battery pack was not completely discharged.
When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug the
charger (unless you're charging another battery pack)
and slip the battery pack back into the tool handle.
To prevent fire or injury when batteries are not in
tool or charger, always place protective cap onto end
of battery pack.

NOTE! Charging time will be approximately one hour.
WARNING
Charge only RIDGID-type batteries. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury.
5. After charging, unplug the charger from the power
source.
Important Charging Notes
1. The battery pack accepts only about 80% of its maxi-
mum capacity with its first few charge cycles. However,
after the first few charge cycles, the battery will charge
to full capacity.
2. The charger was designed to fast charge the battery
only when the battery temperature is between 40°F
(4°C) and 105°F (41°C).
3. A substantial drop in operating time per charge may
mean that the battery pack is nearing the end of its life
and should be replaced.
4. If you anticipate long periods (i.e. a month or more) of
non-use of your tool, it is best to run your tool down
