Do not short-circuit the battery.  
Never attempt to connect two chargers together.  
Do not discharge battery beyond normal use limits.  
Further discharging (such as by placing a rubber band  
on the trigger switch) can cause a deep discharge  
which may result in polarity reversal of a cell rendering  
the battery useless.  
The charger is designed to operate on standard  
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on  
any other voltage.

CHARGER  
If red light is flashing, this indicates battery pack is  
deeply discharged or hot.  
If battery pack is hot, red light should become steady  
after battery pack has cooled down.  
If battery pack is deeply discharged, red light should  
become steady after voltage has increased, normally  
within 30 minutes.  
If after one hour red light is still flashing, this indicates a  
defective battery pack and should be replaced.  
Green light on indicates battery pack is fully charged or  
in slow charging mode to maintain battery pack charge.  
Yellow light on and red light flashing indicates defective  
battery pack. Return battery pack to your nearest Ryobi  
Authorized Service Center for checking or replacing.  
When your battery pack becomes fully charged, the red light  
Fig. 2  
will turn OFF and the green light will turn ON.  
After normal usage, 1 hour of charging time is required to be  
fully charged. A minimum charge time of 1-1/2 hours is  
required to recharge a completely discharged tool.  
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while  
charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.  
DO NOT place charger in an area of extreme heat or  
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.  
When the batteries become fully charged, unplug your  
charger from power supply and remove the battery  
pack.

OPERATION  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES  
When using your tool continuously, the batteries in your battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack  
cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge. When the battery pack becomes discharged and is  
hot, this will cause the red light on your battery charger to flash. When battery pack cools down, red light will glow  
continuously indicating fast charging mode, 1 hour charge time. Once the battery pack cools down, it will recharge battery  
pack in fast charging mode as normal.  
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of your tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur  
under normal circumstances. Refer to "CHARGING 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  
Ryobi Authorized Service Center for electrical check.
