Battery Charging
1. If charger is supplied with a separate charger cord,
plug cord into charger.
2. Plug the other end of charger into the AC power source.
3. Insert battery pack in charger. Press lightly on battery
pack until it stops. The charger is equipped with one
LED for the 14.2 V battery and one LED for the 18 V
battery. When the battery makes contact, the matching
LED starts flashing green until the battery is completely
charged. The matching LED then will stay on solid
indicating a fully charged condition.

4. Certain built-in safety protections may lock the charger
off. If no charger light illuminates, remove the battery
and unplug the charger for 10 minutes. Plug the
charger back in and insert a known good battery. If no
light comes on the charger is faulty and must be
replaced.
5. The charger will not charge if the battery pack is too hot
or too cold. The charger will show a flashing yellow
LED and wait until the battery temperature is between
32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C) to begin fast charging.
6. Standard fast charging time is 30 minutes. Charger
may take longer than 30 minutes. The charge cycle
may be longer if the battery has been left in a low state
of charge for an extended period of time. When the
charge is complete, all 4 green LED's stay illuminated.
7. A flashing red LED indicates the battery is faulty and
the charger will not charge. Remove the battery from
the charger and replace the battery.
8. The charger has one USB port, its output current is 0.5
A and output voltage is 5 VDC. Do not connect to an
appliance requiring over 0.5 A.
Battery Pack
Battery Pack Protection
To maximize performance and battery life, the Lithium-
Ion battery is protected by safety circuits in the tool and
the charger. They monitor battery voltage, discharge/
charge amperage and temperature.
Cold Weather Operation
The Lithium-Ion battery can be used in temperatures
down to -4°F(-20°C). When the battery pack is very cold,
run the tool at no load to warm the battery and then use
the tool normally.
Hot Weather Operation
If the Lithium-Ion battery temperature reaches 113°F
(45°C), the protection circuit will turn off the battery.
Once the battery has cooled down, the charger will
resume normal operation.
Storage
Do not expose your battery pack to water or rain; this
could damage the battery pack.
Fully charge the battery before placing it in storage. For
optimum life, store the all Lithium-Ion batteries at room
temperature away from moisture. Permanent capacity
loss can result if batteries are stored for a long period at
high temperature.
