•
An extension
cord must have adequate
wire size (,4WG or American
Wire Gauge)
for safety.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension
contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating, ff in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Using
Automatic
Tune-Up
TM
Mode
The automatic Tune-Up
TM
Mode equalizes or balances the individual cells inthe battery pack
allowing it to function at peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or after
10 charge/discharge
cycles or whenever the pack no longer delivers the same amount of
work. To use the automatic Tune-Up
TM,
place the battery pack in the charger and leave it
for at least 8 hours. The charger will cycle through the following modes.
1. The red light will blink continuously
indicating that the 1-hour charge cycle has
started.
2. When the 1-hour charge cycle is complete, the light will stay on continuously and will no
longer blink. This indicates that the pack is fully charged and can be used at this time.
3. If the pack is left in the charger after the initial 1-hour charge, the charger will begin the
Automatic Tune-Up
TM
mode. This mode continues up to 8 hours or until the individual
cells in the battery pack are equalized. The battery pack is ready for use and can be
removed at any time during the Automatic Tune-Up
TM
mode.
4. Once the Automatic Tune-Up
TM
mode is complete, the charger will begin a maintenance
charge; the red indicator will remain lit.

Charge
Indicators
Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise with battery packs.
Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery
pack into the charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if
the charger is OK. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective
and should be returned to a service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new
battery pack elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have the charger tested at an
authorized service center.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the charger detects a battery
that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery
has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the Pack
Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then
short while in the Hot Pack Delay mode.
PROBLEM POWER LINE
Some chargers have a Problem Power Line indicator. When the charger is used with some
portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger
may temporarily suspend operation, flashing
the red light with two fast blinks followed
by a pause. This indicates the power source is out of limits.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefinitely.
The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the battery
pack has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged before use.
A battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged into
an appropriate AC source.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Chargers can also detect a weak battery pack. Such batteries
are still usable but should not be expected to perform as much work. The charger will
indicate to replace battery pack.
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 and 75°F (18 °- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery
pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is
important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to 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.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at 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. Move charger 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 charger to your local
service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient 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 affect on the battery pack.
5. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the exposed
charging contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material. 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
charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no
battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
i_, WARNING: Shock hazard. Don't allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock
may result.
i_,CAUTION: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing
of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
Storage
Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess
heat or cold.
2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger. Under proper conditions, they
can be stored for 5 years or more.
