Important charging notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be
obtained if the battery pack is charged
when the air temperature is between 65
°F – 75 °F (18 ° – 24 °C). DO NOT charge
the battery pack in an air temperature
below 40 °F (4.5 °C), or above 104 °F (40
°C). This is important and will prevent
serious damage to the battery pack.
2. If the battery pack does not charge
properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by
plugging in a lamp or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to
a light switch which turns power o when
you turn out the lights;
c. Move the power adapter and battery
pack to a location where the surrounding
air temperature is approximately 65 °F –
75 °F (18 ° – 24 °C);
d. If charging problems persist, take the
tool, battery pack and USB cable to your
local service center.
3. The battery pack should be recharged
when it fails to produce su cient 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 e ect on the battery
pack.
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.
