To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion 

battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use.

Charger Operation

Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the 
battery pack.

Charge Indicators

Charging

Fully Charged

Hot/Cold Pack Delay*

* 

The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light 
will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery pack 
has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will 
turn off and the charger will resume the charging procedure.

The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. 
The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to light.

nOTE: 

This could also mean a problem with a charger.

If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery 
pack to be tested at an authorised service centre.

hot/Cold Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too 
cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending 
charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate 
temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the 
pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery 
pack life.
A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm 
battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate 
throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to 
maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.

Electronic Protection system

XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection 
System that will protect the battery pack against overloading, 
overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection 
System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-ion battery 
pack on the charger until it is fully charged.

Wall Mounting

This charger is designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright 
on a table or work surface.  If wall mounting, locate the charger 
within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from a corner 
or other obstructions which may impede air flow. Mount the 
charger securely using screws (purchased separately) at least 
76 mm long, with a screw head diameter of 8–9.5 mm, screwed 
into wood through the mounting holes.

Important Charging Notes

1.  Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the 

battery pack is charged when the ambient temperature 
is between 18 ° – 24 °C. DO NOT charge the battery pack 
in an air temperature below 4.5 °C, or above 40 °C. This 
is important and will prevent serious damage to the 
battery pack.

2.  The charger and battery pack 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 
battery pack after use, avoid storing the charger or battery 
pack in a warm environment.

3.  If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a.  Check operation of socket by plugging in a lamp or other 

appliance;

b.  Move the charger and battery pack to a location where 

the ambient air temperature is approximately 18 ° – 24 °C;

c.  If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack 

and charger to your local service centre.

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 effect on the battery pack.

5.  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 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.

6.  Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any 

other liquid.

Charger Cleaning Instructions

WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger 

from the AC outlet before cleaning

. Dirt and grease 

may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a 
cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or any 
cleaning solutions. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; 
never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
