nOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation) Seal on the nickel cadmium,
nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries
(or battery packs) indicates that the costs
to CRAFTSMAN. In some areas, it is illegal
to place spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or
lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste
stream and the Call 2 Recycle® program provides an
environmentally conscious alternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with CRAFTSMAN
and other battery users, has established the program in
the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection
of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or
lithium-ion batteries. Help protect our environment and
conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries
to an authorized service center or to your local retailer for
recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center
for information on where to drop off the spent battery.

Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do
not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool
boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose
nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries
can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the
like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous
Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes in
carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly protected
from short circuits. So when transporting individual
battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals
are protected and well insulated from materials that
could contact them and cause a short circuit.
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, 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 charger and battery pack are specifically
designed to work together.
6
•
These chargers are not intended for any uses other
than charging CRAFTSMAN rechargeable batteries.
Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock
or electrocution.
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
•
•
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 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.
