SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for battery charger BSRC82/BSSC82.

• Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on battery charger, battery, and product using battery.
• To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install in a temperature- and humidity-controlled indoor area relatively free of conductive contaminants.
• Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
• Do not abuse cord or charger. Never use the cord to carry the charger. Do not pull the charger cord rather than the plug when disconnecting from receptacle. Damage to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric shock hazard. Replace damaged cords immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized serviceman for electrical check to determine if the charger is in good working order.
• Do not cover the ventilation slots on the top of the charger. Do not set the charger on a soft surface i.e. blanket, pillow. Keep the ventilation slots of the charger clear.
• Do not probe the charger with conductive materials.
• Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an authorized serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in use. This will reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the charger if metal items should fall into the opening. It also will help prevent damage to the charger during a power surge.
• Do not mix old and new batteries and do not mix alkaline, standard (carbonzinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries.
• Do not use a damp cloth or detergent on the battery or battery charger.
• Do not allow the battery pack or charger to overheat. If they are warm, allow them to cool down. Recharge only at room temperature.

• Do not try to connect two chargers together.
• Do not allow liquid inside the charger.
• Do not try to use the charger for any other purpose than what is presented in this manual.
• Store indoors, and do not expose to rain or water, avoid direct sunshine.
• Be sure voltage selector is in correct voltage position before plugging in.
• For use in the U.S.A., the voltage selector switch must be placed in the 120 volt position. For use in countries other than the U.S.A., the voltage selector may need to be placed in other than the 120 volt position. Confirm the voltage available at each country location before using the product.
• This power unit is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or floor mount position.
• 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 to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.

Charging Procedure

NOTE: The battery is not shipped fully charged. It is recommended to fully charge before first use to ensure that maximum run time can be achieved. This lithium-ion battery will not develop a memory and may be charged at any time.

Low voltage charging:

If the battery has been stored with little to no charge for a long period of time, the charger will go into recovery mode, which will take 20 hrs to fully charge the battery. This will enhance the life of the battery. Once it is fully charged, the next charge will return to standard charging.

1. Plug the charger into an AC power outlet.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.

This is a diagnostic charger. The Charger LED Lights will illuminate in specific order to communicate the current battery status. They are as follows:

False defect note:

When the battery is inserted into the charger and the status LED blinks RED, remove the battery from the charger for 1 minute, then reinsert. If the status LED blinks GREEN, then the battery is properly charging. If the status LED is still blinking RED, remove the battery and unplug the charger for 1 minute. After 1 minute, plug in the charger and reinsert the battery. If the status LED blinks GREEN, then the battery is properly charging. If the status LED is still blinking RED, the battery is defective and needs to be replaced.

Charger Mounting

1. This charger can be installed hanging on a wall using two #8 screws (not included).

2. Locate the placement for the charger to be wall mounted.

3. If fastening to wood studs use 2 wood screws (not included).

4. For Charger BSRC82: Drill two holes on center 4.5 in. apart ensuring that they are vertically aligned.

For Charger BSSC82: Drill two holes on center 4 in. apart ensuring that they are vertically aligned.

5. If fastening to drywall use wall anchors (not included) and screws to secure the charger to the wall.

6. This power unit is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or floor mount position.

NOTE: If the battery and the charger won't be used for a long time, remove the battery from the charger and pull out the AC power plug.
