Charger Inspection and
Set‑Up
WARNING
Before use, inspect the charger and batter‑
ies and correct any problems. Set up char‑
ger according to these procedures to reduce
the risk of injury from electrical shock, fire,
and other causes and prevent tool and sys‑
tem damage. Always wear eye protection
to protect your eyes against dirt and other
foreign objects.
1. Make sure the charger is unplugged. In‑
spect the power cord, charger and bat‑
tery for damage or modifications, or bro‑
ken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding
parts. If any problems are found, do not
use charger until the parts have been re‑
paired or replaced.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the equip‑
ment as described in the Cleaning Instruc‑
tions section, especially handles and con‑
trols. This helps prevent the equipment from
slipping from your grip and allows proper
ventilation.

decals on the charger and battery are in‑
tact and readable. (See Figures 22 & 23.)

4. Select an appropriate location for the char‑
ger before use. Check work area for:
• Adequate lighting.
• Clear, level, stable, dry place for charg er.
Do not use the device in wet or damp
areas.
• Proper operating temperature range.
The charger and battery must both be
between 32°F (0°C) and 122°F (50°C) for
charging to begin. If the temperature
of either is outside of this range at any
point during charging, the operation
will be suspended until brought back
to the correct temperature range.
• Appropriate power source. Check to
see that the plug fits correctly into the
desired outlet.
• Sufficient ventilation. The charger needs a
clearance of at least 4” (10 cm) on all sides
to maintain a proper operating tempera‑
ture.

6. With dry hands, plug charger into the appro‑
priate power source.
