the costs to recycle these batteries (or battery packs)
at the end of their useful life have already been paid
by CRAFTSMAN. In some areas, it is illegal to place
spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-
ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste
stream and the Call 2 Recycle® program provides an
environmentally conscious alternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with CRAFTSMAN
and other battery users, has established the program
in the United States and Canada to facilitate the
collection of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal
hydride or lithium-ion batteries. Help protect our
environment and conserve natural resources by
returning the spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal
hydride or lithium-ion batteries to an authorized
CRAFTSMAN service center or to your local retailer for
recycling. You may also contact your local recycling
center for information on where to drop off the spent
battery. RBRC® is a registered trademark of Call 2

Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do not
place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails,
screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly
cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials such
as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US
Department of Transportation Hazardous Material
Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting
batteries in commerce or on airplanes in carry-on
baggage UNLESS they are properly protected from
short circuits. So when transporting individual
battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals
are protected and well insulated from materials
that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
NOTE: LI-ION batteries should not be put in checked
baggage.
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 or serious injury.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack
with any chargers other than the ones in
this manual. The 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
