required to fully recharge battery pack.

LED continues to glow after more than 30 minutes of
charging, return battery pack and charging assembly to
your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for electri-
cal check.
n The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.

It will work best at normal room temperature.

from power supply and remove the battery pack.
