IMPORTANT CHARGING
NOTES
1. Longest life and best performance
can be obtained
if the battery pack is charged
when the air
temperature
is between
60°F and 80°F (16 °- 27°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air
temperature
below +40°F (+4.5°C),
or above +105°F
(+40.5°C).
This is important and will prevent
serious
damage
to the battery
pack.
2. The charger and battery
pack may become warm to touch while charging.
This is a normal
condition,
and does not indicate a problem.
To facilitate
the cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery
pack in a warm environment
such as in a metal shed, or an
uninsulated
trailer.
3. If the battery
pack does not charge
properly:
a. Check current at receptacle
by plugging
in a lamp or other appliance
b. Check to see if receptacle
is connected
to a light switch which turns power off when you turn
out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery
pack to a location
where the surrounding
air temperature
is
approximately
60°F and 80°F (16 °- 27°C).
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center.
4. The battery pack should
be recharged
when it fails to produce
sufficient
power on jobs which were
easily done previously.
DO NOT CONTINUE
to use under these conditions.
Follow the charging
procedure.
You may also charge a partially
used pack whenever
you desire with no adverse
affect
on the battery
pack.
5. Foreign materials
of a conductive
nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum
foil,
or any buildup
of metallic
particles
should be kept away from charger cavities.
Always unplug the
charger from the power supply when there is no battery
pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting
to clean.
6. Do not freeze
or immerse
charger
in water or any other liquid.
