Battery and Charging System
The Paslode Cordless tools come with a recharge-
able battery and its own charging system. This
charging system is the only one that will work with
Paslode batteries (either round or oval ). The first
step in preparing a new tool for operation is to fully
charge the battery. New batteries are shipped dis-
charged and must be charged prior to first use.
Batteries will take 5 minutes to 2 hours (time will
be dependant on the amount of discharge of the
battery) to recharge.

recycling center for information on where to return the
spent battery or call 1-800-822-8837 for information on
