Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery
Chargers
WARNING:
instructions, and cautionary markings for the
battery pack, charger and product. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
•
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with
any chargers other than a CRAFTSMAN charger.
CRAFTSMAN chargers and battery packs are specifically
designed to work together.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other
•
than charging CRAFTSMAN rechargeable battery
packs. Charging other types of battery packs may cause
them to overheat and burst, resulting in personal injury,
property damage, fire, electric shock or electrocution.
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
•
Do not allow water or any liquid to enter charger.
•
•
Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug and cord.
Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not
•
be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
•
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in
risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
When operating a charger outdoors, always provide
•
a dry location and use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
•
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the heavier the cord and
thus the greater its capacity. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on total length of all extension cords
plugged together, and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge.

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.

Not Recommended
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.
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.
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 and
ventilation slots.
Always unplug the charger from the power supply
•
when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Charging a Battery (Fig. C, D)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.
2. Insert and fully seat battery pack. Green charging light
will continuously blink while charging.
3. Charging is complete when the green charging light
remains continuously ON. Battery pack can be left in
charger or removed.
WARNING:
temperature over 40 ° F (4.5 ° C) and below 105 ° F
(40.5 ° C).
4. Charger will not charge a faulty battery pack, which
may be indicated by the light staying OFF. Take charger
and battery pack to an authorized service center if light
stays OFF.
nOTE: Refer to label near charging light on charger for
blink patterns.
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.

The hot/cold pack delay will be indicated by the green light
12
continuing to blink but with the red light continuously
12
ON. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature, the red light will turn OFF and the charger will
resume the charging procedure.
