•
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 ventilated through slots in the top and the
bottom of the housing.
•
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord
or plug–have them replaced immediately.
•
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized service center.
•
Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an
authorized service center when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fire.
•
The charger is designed to operate on standard
120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.
•
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 the charger
cavities and ventilation slots.
•
Always unplug the charger from the power supply
when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Charging a Battery (Fig. C)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.
2. Insert and fully seat battery pack. Green charging light
will continuously blink while charging.
3. Charging is complete when the green light remains
continuously ON. Battery pack can be left in charger or
removed.
4. Charger will not charge a faulty battery pack, which
may be indicated by the light staying OFF. Take charger
and battery pack to an authorized service center if light
stays OFF.
nOTE: Refer to label near charging light on charger for
blink patterns.
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 may charge at a slower rate than a
warm battery pack.
The hot/cold pack delay will be indicated by the green
light continuing to blink but with the yellowred light
continuously ON. Once the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature, the yellow light will turn OFF and
the charger will resume the charging procedure.
Electronic Protection System
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 and the battery pack will need to
be recharged.
Important Charging Notes
1. 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 placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulated trailer.
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 off when you turn out
the lights;
c. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local service center.
3. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
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.
Wall Mounting
Some CRAFTSMANchargers are 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. Use the back
of the charger as a template for the location of the
mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger securely
using drywall screws (purchased separately) at least 1"
(25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of 0.28–0.35"
(7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving
approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw exposed. Align
the slots on the back of the charger with the exposed
screws and fully engage them in the slots.
