Charging Procedure
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 120 volts present at charging
terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting bat-
tery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. The red (charging) light

then the original pack is defective and should be returned to a
service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new bat-
tery pack elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have
the charger tested at an authorized service center.

charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot
