OPERATION
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

pack warms, the charger will automatically begin charging.
