If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
•
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open
eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical
attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a
mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
Contents of opened battery cells may cause
•
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention.
Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark
•
or flame.
Never attempt to open the battery pack(s) for any
•
reason. If the battery pack(s) case is cracked or
damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not crush,
drop or damage the battery pack(s). Do not use a battery
pack(s) or charger that has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, run over or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with
a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery
pack(s) should be returned to the service center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. Store the fully
charged battery pack(s) out of the charger.
Battery Pack(s) Cleaning Instructions
Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the
battery pack(s) using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do
not use water or any cleaning solutions.
Fuel Gauge Battery Pack(s) (Fig. B)
Some battery pack(s) include a fuel gauge. When the fuel
gauge button is pressed and held, the LED lights will indicate
the approximate level of charge remaining. This does not
indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation based on
product components, temperature, and end-user application.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store, carry, or
transport the battery pack(s) so that metal objects
can contact exposed battery terminals. For example,
do not place the battery pack(s) in aprons, pockets, tool
boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails,
screws, keys, coins, hand tools, etc. When transporting
individual battery pack(s), make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from materials
that could contact them and cause a short circuit. NOTE:
Li‑ion battery pack(s) should not be put in checked
baggage on airplanes and must be properly protected from
short circuits if they are in carry‑on baggage.
The RBRC® Seal
Please take your spent battery pack(s) to an
authorized CRAFTSMAN service center or
to your local retailer for recycling. In some
areas, it is illegal to place spent battery
pack(s) in the trash. You may also contact your local recycling
center for information on where to drop off the spent
battery pack(s). Do not place in curbside recycling. For more

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
and cautionary markings for the battery pack(s),
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(s) with
•
any chargers other than a CRAFTSMAN charger.
CRAFTSMAN chargers and battery pack(s) are specifically
designed to work together.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other
•
than charging CRAFTSMAN rechargeable battery
pack(s). Charging other types of battery pack(s) 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.
