 will continuously 

blink while charging.

4.  Ensure the  green charging LED

 is illuminated. If the 

green charging LED is not illuminated, adjust tool handle 
to ensure charging contacts are touching. 

5.  Charging is complete when the five green charging 

LEDs

 remains continuously ON. Battery can be left 

charging or USB cable can be disconnnected.

6.  Let the tool charge initially for at least 1 hour. After the 

initial charge, your tool should be fully charged in 1 hour 
from a fully discharged condition. Recharge discharged 
batteries as soon as possible after use or battery life may 
be greatly diminished. For longest battery life, do not 
discharge batteries fully. It is recommended that the 
batteries be recharged after each use.

Hot/Cold Delay

When the tool detects that the battery that is too hot or too 
cold, it automatically starts a hot/cold delay, suspending 
charging until the battery has reached an appropriate 
temperature. The tool then automatically switches to 
charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.

1.  A cold battery may charge at a slower rate than a 

warm battery.

2.  The hot/cold delay will be indicated by the green 

charging LED 

 9 

 remaining OFF.

3.  Once the battery has reached an appropriate 

temperature, the green charging LED 

 9 

 will continuously 

illuminate, indicating that the tool has resumed the 
charging procedure.

Electronic Protection System

Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection 
System that will protect the battery against overloading, 
overheating or deep discharge. The tool will automatically 
turn off and the battery will need to be recharged.

Important Charging Notes

1.  The tool may become warm to the touch while charging. 

This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a 

problem. To facilitate the cooling of the tool after use, 

avoid placing the tool in a warm environment such as in 

a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.

2.  If the tool does not charge properly, take the tool and 

charger to your local service center.

3.  You may charge a partially used battery whenever you 

desire with no adverse effect on the tool.
