12 V LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACK

PSL0BA121

Use this battery pack for PowerStroke 12 V Lithium-ion

cordless products only. Refer to the Operator’s Manual

provided with product. Always mention the appropriate

model number when communicating with us regarding

your battery pack.

WARNING!

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to

follow all instructions listed below, may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

Battery tools do not have to be plugged into

an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always

in operating condition. Be aware of possible

hazards when not using your battery tool or

when changing accessories. Following this

rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or

serious personal injury.

Do not place battery tools or their batteries near

fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion

and possibly injury.

 Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do

not use a battery pack or charger that has been

dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged

battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of

a dropped or damaged battery immediately.

Batteries can explode in the presence of a source

of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk

of serious personal injury, never use any cordless

product in the presence of open flame. An exploded

battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed,

flush with water immediately.

Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet

location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

electric shock.

For use only with PowerStroke 12 V lithium-ion

charger, model number PSL0CH121.

For best results, your battery tool should be

charged in a location where the temperature is

more than 50°F but less than 100°F. To reduce the

risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside

or in vehicles.

Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,

battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in con-

tact with your skin, wash immediately with soap

and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them

with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek

immediate medical attention. Following this rule

will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

 When battery pack is not in use, keep it away

from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins,

keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects

that can make a connection from one terminal

to another. Shorting the battery terminals together

may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

 Always remove battery pack from your tool when

you are assembling parts, making adjustments,

cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery

pack will prevent accidental starting that could cause

serious personal injury.

 Always remove battery pack before storing the

device.

 When battery becomes fully charged, unplug the

charger from the power supply and remove the

battery pack from the charger.

 Always wear eye protection with side shields

marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do

so could result in objects being thrown into your

eyes and other possible serious injuries.

 Keep battery pack dry, clean, and free from oil

and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.

Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based

products, or any solvents to clean battery pack.

 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently

and use them to instruct others who may use this

tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these

instructions also.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

OPERATION

POWERSTROKE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY

PACKS

Lithium-ion batteries deliver fade free power for their

entire run time. 12 V lithium-ion tools will not gradually

lose power due to decreasing battery charge. Instead,

power from the battery pack will drop from full to zero

once the full charge has been drained from the battery.

Once this happens, recharging of the battery is required.

It is not necessary to drain the battery pack completely

before recharging.

BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES

PowerStroke 12 V lithium-ion battery packs are designed

with features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maxi-

mize 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.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

The lithium-ion battery pack can be used in tempera-

tures down to -4°F. Put the battery pack on a tool and

use the tool in a light duty application. After about a

minute, the pack will warm up and begin operating

normally.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

See Figure 1.

Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to

prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge

prior to first use. If the charger does not charge the bat-

tery pack under normal circumstances, return both the

battery pack and charger to your nearest Authorized

Service Center for electrical check.
