1. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery temperature
is between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). If the
battery pack is too hot or too cold, the charger
will not fast charge the battery. (This may
happen if the battery pack is hot from heavy
use). When the battery temperature returns to
between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C), the
charger will automatically begin charging.
2. A substantial drop in operating time per
charge may mean that the battery pack is
nearing the end of its life and should be
replaced.
3. Remember to unplug charger during storage
period.
4. If battery does not charge properly:
If the indicator lights are "OFF", the charger
is not receiving power from power supply
outlet.
If the green indicator light is
"BLINKING", the battery
pack is being fast-charged.
Fast-charging will automatically stop when
the battery pack is fully charged.
CHARGING BATTERy PACK (SC12A-LI 1 HOUR CHARGER)
Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet, then insert battery pack into charger.
The charger's green indicator light will begin to
"BLINK". This indicates that the battery is
receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will
automatically stop when the battery pack is
fully charged (Fig. 6).
When the indicator light stops "BLINKING"
(and becomes a steady green light) fast
charging is complete.
The battery pack may be used even though
the light may still be blinking. The light may
require more time to stop blinking depending
on temperature.
The purpose of the green light is to indicate
that the battery pack is fast-charging. It does
not indicate the exact point of full charge.
The light will stop blinking in less time if the
battery pack was not completely discharged.
When charging several batteries in sequence,
the charge time may slightly increase.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

CHARGER INDICATORS, SyMBOLS AND MEANING
a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in
some other electrical device.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a
light switch which turns power "off" when
lights are turned off.
c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt.
Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if
necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging,
take or send tool, battery pack and
charger to your local Skil Service Center.
See "Tools, Electric" in the Yellow Pages
for names and addresses.
Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not
sold by Skil will void the warranty.
If the green indicator light is
"ON",
plugged in but the battery
pack is not inserted, or the battery pack is
fully charged, or the battery pack is too hot or
cold for fast-charging. The charger will
automatically switch to fast-charging once a
suitable temperature is reached.
When the battery pack is fully charged,
unplug the charger (unless you're charging
another battery pack) and slip the battery
pack back into the tool.
