poorly maintained power tools.
4.6Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
4.7Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5Battery tool use and care
5.1Recharge only with the battery
charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery
pack.
5.2Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of
any other battery packs may create
risk of injury and fire.
5.3When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a
fire.
5.4Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. Liquid ejected from battery
may cause irritation or burns. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.

than what is shown on the charger specification plate.
1Plug charger into an appropriate outlet
before inserting battery pack.
2Insert battery pack into the charger.
The green (charging) light will blink
continuously indicating that the charging
process has started.
3Completion of charge is indicated by green
light remaining on continuously. The pack
is fully charged and may be used at this
time.
4Disconnect charger from power source

  Caution
Do not probe charger with conductive
objects. 120 V AC present at charging
terminals.
Failure to comply may result in death
or personal injury.
note
Do not charge battery immediately after
use. Battery will not accept a full charge.
Do not charge until battery has
reached room temperature for best
results.
note
Do not obstruct vent slots in top and
bottom of charger.
Do not charge battery when temperature is below 40 °F (5 °C) or above
104 °F (40 °C).
Important charging notices
Longest life and best performance can be
obtained if the battery is charged when the
air temperature is between 65 and 75 °F
(18 and 24 °C). Do not charge the battery in
an air temperature below 40 °F (5 °C) or
above 105 °F (41 °C). This is important and
will prevent serious damage to the battery.
1The charger and battery may become
warm to the touch while charging. This is a
normal condition, and does not indicate a
problem.
2If the battery does not charge properly:
2.1Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
2.2Check to see if the receptacle is
con- nected to a light switch which
turns power off when you turn out the
lights.
2.3Move charger and battery to a location where the surrounding air temperature is between approximately
65 and 75 °F (18 and 24 °C).
2.4If charging problems persist, take the
tool, battery and charger to your local
service center.

3The battery should be recharged when it
fails to produce sufficient power on jobs.
Do not continue to use under these
con- ditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used
pack whenever you desire, with no
adverse affect on the battery.
4Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the
exposed charging contacts of the charger
can be shorted by foreign material.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature
such as, but not limited to, steel wool,
aluminium 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 in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to
clean.
  Warning
Do not allow any liquid inside charger.
Electric shock may result.
To facilitate cooling of battery pack
after use, avoid placing charger or battery pack in a warm environment such
as a metal shed or a non-insulated
trailer.
Failure to comply may result in
serious injury or death.
