SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings in this manual, on charger, battery, and
product using battery to prevent misuse of the products
and possible injury or damage.
WARNING:
Charge only RYOBI lithium-ion rechargeable battery
packs. Other types of batteries may burst, causing
personal injury or damage. For compatible battery packs
see tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation
supplement 987000-432.
Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location. Do
not use, store, or charge battery packs or products in
locations where the temperature is less than 50° F or more
than 89° F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result
in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension
cord must be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of plug on charger.
b.That extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition; and
Do not use charger outdoors or expose to wet or
damp conditions. Water entering charger will increase
the risk of electric shock.
WARNING:
Do not charge a battery that is wet or has been wet or
exposed to liquids.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious personal injury.
Do not abuse cord or charger. Never use the cord to
carry the charger. Do not pull the charger cord rather than
the plug when disconnecting from receptacle. Damage
to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric
shock hazard. If cord or charger is damaged, have the
charger replaced by an authorized serviceman.
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges
or moving parts or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls, which
could cause injury, and damage to the cord, which could
result in electric shock.
Keep cord and charger from heat to prevent damage
to housing or internal parts.
Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They
­c ontain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or
destroy ­plastic.
c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of
charger as specified below:

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
The charger should be mounted in the vertical
position or resting on its base during use.Do not
operate charger with a damaged cord or plug, which
could cause shorting and electric shock. If damaged, have
the charger replaced by an authorized serviceman.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.
Take it to an authorized serviceman for electrical check
to determine if the charger is in good working order.
Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an authorized
serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Disconnect charger from the power supply when
not in use. This will reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to the charger if metal items should fall into the
opening. It also will help prevent damage to the charger
during a power surge.
Risk of electric shock. Do not touch uninsulated
portion of output connector or uninsulated battery
terminal.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also
to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.

APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the following purpose:
Charging RYOBI 18V Li-ion battery packs
NOTICE:
If charge does not appear to initiate or appears to stop
charging the battery pack before reaching full charge,
check that charger is properly plugged into a power
supply (outlet) and that the power supply is energized. If
so, try charging a different battery pack. If the different
battery pack charges properly, then return the battery
pack that did not charge properly. If a different battery
pack does not charge, return the charger and the battery
pack(s). Make returns to the nearest authorized service
center for service or replacement.
See Figure 1, page 7.
To mount the charger, only use the key hole hanging
feature. Screws should be installed so that the center
distance is 4-1/2 in.
CHARGING
See Figures 2 and 3, page 7.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
them before first use. If the charger does not charge your
battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the
battery pack and charger to your nearest repair center for
electrical check.
Charge time is approximately 1 hour, and is dependent upon
the type of battery pack.
Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
Connect the charger to a power supply.
Attach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the
raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the
charger, then insert the battery pack into the charger.

OPERATION
Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger. Latches should snap into place to ensure charger
is correctly connected.
Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
The battery pack may become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
When the battery pack is more than 80% charged and
ready for use, the green LED will begin fading on/off
continuously.
After the battery is fully charged, the green LED will remain
on while the charger is in Energy Save Mode.
Charger will periodically wake from Energy Save mode to
ensure the battery pack remains in a fully charged state.
To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress
latches and pull up on the battery pack.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the battery pack may
become hot. A hot battery pack may be placed directly onto
the charger port but charging will not begin until the battery
temperature cools to within acceptable temperature range.
When a hot battery pack is placed on the charger, the red
LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off. When
the battery pack cools, the charger will automatically begin
charging.
CHARGING A COLD BATTERY PACK
A cold battery pack may be placed directly onto the charger
port but charging will not begin until the battery temperature
warms to within acceptable temperature range. When a cold
battery pack is placed on the charger, the red LED will begin
flashing and the green LED will be off. When the battery
pack warms, the charger will automatically begin charging.
When the battery pack is fully charged, remove it from
the charger.
