SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and observe these instructions before using the device.
 Before using the device check that the mains cable and mains plug are not damaged.
 The device must not be damp, neither should it be used in a damp environment.
 Do not use the device if it has suffered any heavy shock or jolting, or is damaged in any other way.
 Due to the heat generated during charging, the battery charger should not be operated on a combustible surface/in an inflammable environment.
 Do not cover the ventilating slits.
 Never disassemble the device yourself.
 Pull the plug of the battery charger out of the socket when it is not in use or when cleaning it.
 Only use extension cable that is approved and technically in perfect condition.
 During operation provide sufficient ventilation. Malfunction during charging can be caused by storing and operating in places where the temperature exceeds +40°C (+104°F); this should be avoided. Battery charging in closed cupboards, near heat sources (radiators, bright sunshine) causes heat to accumulate and can damage the device.
 If the battery is not going to be used for a longer period, pull the battery off the battery charger and pull out the mains plug.
 Protect battery contact to avoid a short circuit caused by metallic object that can cause a fire or explosion!
 Only charge original recommended batteries.
 If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an Authorised Service Center in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING
Do not recharge primary cells (non-rechargeable).

OPERATION
WARNING Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING 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 resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.
APPLICATIONS You may use this product for the following purpose: Charging compatible 14.4V and 18V battery packs.
CAUTION If at any point during the charging process none of the LEDs are lit, remove the battery pack from the charger to avoid damaging the product. Do not insert another battery. Return the charger and battery to your nearest service center for service or replacement.
CAUTION Always place the charger on a rigid surface, not a car seat, while charging battery pack. Do not place anything such as a jacket over the charger while it is in use.

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.

Battery packs for this tool are shipped in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge them until the green LED on the front of the charger comes on.
CHARGING A BATTERY PACK
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.
 Use battery pack only with the recommended charger.
 Connect the charger to the power supply. Make sure the power supply is 12 V DC.

English

 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.
 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 10°C (50°F) but less than 38°C (100°F).
 The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
 After charging is complete, the green LED will remain on until the battery pack is removed from the charger or charger is disconnected from the power supply.
 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
If the battery pack is above normal temperature range, the red LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off. When the battery pack cools down to approximately 50°C (122°F), the charger will automatically begin fast charge mode.
CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK
If the battery pack is below normal temperature range, the red LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off. When the battery warms to a temperature of more than 0°C (32°F), the charger will automatically begin charge mode.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
The lithium-ion battery pack can be used in temperatures down to -20°C (-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 have warmed up and begin operating normally.
ENERGIZING BATTERY CHARGER
See figure 3
By holding the connector firmly, place connector into a cigarette lighter receptacle or "power point" to energize battery charger; red power LED will come on.

CAUTION If the 12 V adapter does not fit firmly into the cigarette lighter receptacle or power point, the receptacle may not be suitable for use with the charger. A poor connection at the base of the 12 V adapter could lead to electrical problems in the vehicle outside of the protections offered by the vehicle or charger's fuse.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing any maintenance.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil and grease.
WARNING Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
CHANGING FUSE See figure 4 The 12 V adapter contains a 250 V 8 Amp fuse to protect the adapter and charger from unexpected power surges. To replace the fuse:  Unscrew the fuse cap on the top of the 12 V adapter.  Replace old fuse with new one. If spring comes out, be
sure to reinsert it before replacing new fuse.  Thread fuse cap back onto adapter. Tighten securely.
BATTERIES This charger will accept Ryobi 14.4V and 18V lithiumion batteries or Ryobi 14.4V and 18V nickel-cadmium batteries. Length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work you are doing.

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: For lithium-ion batteries:  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
27°C (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. For nickel-cadmium batteries:  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
27°C (80°F).  Store battery packs in a "discharged" condition.
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 components. Lithium-ion and nickel-cadmium 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Recycle raw materials instead of disposing of as waste. The machine, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental-friendly recycling.
