Electronic Protection System
Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against
overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the
lithium-ion battery pack on the charger until it is fully
charged.
Wall Mounting
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable
or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall
mounting, locate the charger within reach of an
electrical outlet, and away from a corner or other
obstructions which may impede air flow. Use the
back of the charger as a template for the location of
the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger
securely using drywall screws (purchased separately)
at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter
of 0.28–0.35" (7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an
optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm)
of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of
the charger with the exposed screws and fully engage
them in the slots.

CRAFTSMAN chargers can be mounted to the wall
using CRAFTSMAN VersaTrack Trackwall. Hooks and
accessories are sold separately. Please refer to the
VersaTrack Trackwall accessory sheet for further
information.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger
using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use
water or any cleaning solutions.
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 below
+40 °F (+4.5 °C), or above +104 °F (+40 °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. To
facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a
warm environment such as in a metal shed or an
uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in
a lamp or other appliance.
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a
light switch which turns power off when you
turn out the lights.
c. Move the charger and battery pack to
a location 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.
5. The battery pack should be recharged when
it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs
which were easily done previously. DO NOT
CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow
the charging procedure. You may also charge a
partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse effect on the battery pack.
6. 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
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.
7. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or
any other liquid.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and
dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat
or cold.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a
fully charged battery pack in a cool dry place out
of the charger for optimal results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
