    b.  Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which 
turns power off when you turn out the lights; 
   c.  Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the 
surrounding air temperature is approximately 65 °F – 75 °F 
(18° – 24°C); 
   d.  If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and 
charger to your local service center.
 5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce 
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO 
NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the 
charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack 
whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
  6. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited 
to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any 
buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger 
cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when 
there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before 
attempting to clean.
 7. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid to get inside the 
charger. Electric shock may result. 
WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the battery pack in 
any liquid or allow any liquid to enter the battery pack. Never attempt 
to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the 
battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
  1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct 
sunlight and excess heat or cold.
 2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged 
battery pack in a cool dry place out of the charger for optimal 
results.
