Ryobi P104 - Manual (Page 2)

CAUTION: Charge in a well ventilated area. Do not
block charger vents. Keep them clear to allow proper
ventilation.
BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
Ryobi One+ 18 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with
features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize
battery life.
If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset and
resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the battery
needs to be recharged.
NOTE: The LED charge indicator light will not work if the
battery protection feature has caused the battery pack to
stop powering the tool. When the battery pack resets itself,
the LED will again function.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
them before 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.
TO CHARGE
 Use battery pack only with the recommended charger.
 Connect the charger to the power supply. For a complete list
of approved power sources, refer to the operator’s manual
for the charger.
 Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack snap
into place and the battery pack is secured in the charger
before beginning operation.
 Place the battery pack in the charger aligning raised rib on
the battery pack with the groove in the charger.
 Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on the
battery pack engage properly with contacts in the charger.
NOTE: After charging is complete, the green LED will re-
main on until the battery pack is removed from the charger
or charger is disconnected from the power supply.
 The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
 Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of
extreme heat or cold. They will work best at normal room
temperature.
NOTE: The charger and battery pack should be placed in
a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but
less than 100°F.
 When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger
from the power supply and remove the battery pack.
 To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress the
latches on each side of the battery pack.

CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the batteries in the battery
pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack
cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting
to recharge.
NOTE: this situation only occurs when continuous use of a
tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur
under normal circumstances. Refer to CHARGING THE
BATTERY PACK for normal recharging of batteries. If the
charger does not charge your battery pack under normal
circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to
your nearest Authorized Service Center for electrical check.
BATTERIES
These batteries have been designed to provide maximum
trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually
wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and attempt to
replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially
when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:

Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully
charged and ready for use.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:

Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
80°F and away from moisture.
 Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged condition.
 Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND
PREPARATION FOR RECYCLING
To preserve natural resources, please recycle
or dispose of batteries properly.
This product contains lithium-ion batteries.
Local, state or federal laws may prohibit dis-
posal of lithium-ion batteries in ordinary trash.
Consult your local waste authority for informa-
tion regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.
WARNING:
Upon removal, cover the battery pack’s terminals with
heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or
disassemble battery pack or remove any of its compo-
nents. Lithium-ion batteries must be recycled or disposed
of properly. Also, never touch both terminals with metal
objects and/or body parts as short circuit may result.
Keep away from children. Failure to comply with these
warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.
