Charging A Battery - Craftsman CMCBL0100 Manual De Instructiones


WARNING:
instructions, and cautionary markings for the
battery pack, 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 with
any chargers other than a CRAFTSMAN charger.
CRAFTSMAN charger and battery pack are specifically
designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other
than charging CRAFTSMAN rechargeable batteries.
Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock
or electrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
• 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 greater the
capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

• Do not place any object on top of the charger or
place the charger on a soft surface that might block
the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal
heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat
source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top
and the bottom of the housing.

• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord
or plug–have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized service center.
Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an
•
authorized service center when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fire.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk
of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not
reduce this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard
120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.

WARNING:
any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric shock
may result.

WARNING:
submerge the battery pack in any liquid or allow any
liquid to enter the battery pack. Never attempt to
open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic
housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to
a service center for recycling.

CAUTION:
risk of injury, charge only CRAFTSMAN rechargeable
battery packs. Other types of batteries may
overheat and burst resulting in personal injury and
property damage.

CAUTION:
the charger plugged into the power supply, the
charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign
materials of a conductive nature, such as, but not
limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,
aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from the charger cavities. Always
unplug the charger from the power supply when there
is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger
before attempting to clean.

Charging a Battery

nOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of
lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully
before first use.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting battery pack.
2. Connect the charger and battery pack, making sure
the battery is fully seated. The (charging) light will
blink continuously indicating that the charging process
has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the light
remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully
