BEFORE YOU START

BATTERY CHARGER

The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time and will not develop a “memory” when charged after 
only a partial discharge. It is not necessary to run down the battery pack charge before recharging. Remove 
the battery pack from the tool when convenient for you and your job. You can “top-off” your battery pack’s 
charge before starting a big job or long period of use.
Due to lithium-ion’s fade-free properties, the only time it is necessary to charge the lithium-ion battery 
pack is when the pack has reached the end of its charge. To signal the end of charge, power to the tool will 
drop quickly. Charge the battery pack as needed.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

This lithium-ion battery pack is shipped partially charged. Before using it the first time, fully charge the 
battery pack. A fully discharged battery pack with a temperature between 0°C and 40°C will charge in 
about 1 hour.
Plug the charger adapter into power source. The green light on the charger stand will illuminate, indicating 
the charger is powered. 
Slide the battery all the way into the charger stand. The red light on the charger stand will illuminate, 
indicating that the battery is charging.
The red light will go off after charging is complete and a green light will appear.

NOTE: Batteries may become warm while charging. This is normal. If the battery is hot after continuous 
use in the tool, allow it to cool down to room temperature before charging. This will extend the life of 
your batteries.
WARNING: Always disconnect the battery pack from the tool before any assembly, adjustments or 
changing accessories.

INSERTION AND REMOVAL OF RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

Depress the battery-release button located on the front of the battery pack to release battery pack.
Pull the battery pack out and remove it from the tool.

WARNING: Always remove the battery pack before making adjustments to the equipment.

Be sure to read the following information before you put the cordless equipment into operation: 
Charge the battery pack with the charger.  An empty battery pack requires a charging period of 
approximately 0.5 to 1 hour.

WARNING: To prevent injury from accidental operation, turn OFF and unplug the tool from the power 
source before assembling or making any adjustments to the tool.
