OPERATION
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 1.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
prior to first use. If the charger does not charge the battery
pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery
pack and charger to your nearest Authorized Service
Center for electrical check.
Charge the battery pack only with the recommended

charger.
Refer to charger operator's manual for charging

instructions.
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 charger may indicate the pack is
not ready to charge. Please refer to charger operator's
manual. 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 charger may indicate the pack is not ready to charge.
Please refer to charger operator's manual. When the
battery pack warms, the charger will automatically begin
charging.
