Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions for the battery pack, charger and power
tool. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Do not charge or use the battery pack in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or
removing the battery pack from the charger may
ignite the dust or fumes.
• NEVER force the battery pack into the charger.
DO NOT modify the battery pack in any way
to fit into a non-compatible charger as battery
pack may rupture causing serious personal
injury. Consult the chart at the end of this manual
for compatibility of batteries and chargers.
• Charge the battery packs only in designated
CRAFTSMAN chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack
in locations where the temperature may reach
or exceed 104 °F (40 °C) (such as outside sheds
or metal buildings in summer). For best life store
battery packs in a cool, dry location.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the
trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger switch in
the ON position.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is
severely damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes
and materials are created when lithium-ion battery
packs are burned.
• Do not expose battery pack or tool/appliance
to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause
explosion.
• If battery contents come into contact with the
skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and
water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water
over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation
ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery
electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid
organic carbonates and lithium salts.

• Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be
flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case
is cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger.
Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do
not use a battery pack or charger that has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in
any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer,
stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be
returned to the service center for recycling.
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs
Some CRAFTSMAN battery packs include a fuel gauge
which consists of three LED lights that indicate the
level of charge remaining in the battery pack.
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of
charge remaining in the battery pack according to the
following indicators:
75–100% charged
51–74% charged
< 50% charged
Pack needs to be charged
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel
gauge button. A combination of the three LED lights
will illuminate designating the level of charge left.
When the level of charge in the battery is below the
usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the
battery will need to be recharged.

NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the
charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool
functionality and is subject to variation based on product
components, temperature and end-user application.
