Extension Cords
necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors that is capable of carrying the current necessary for your tool must be used. This will prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles. NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Charging Battery Pack (BC430 30 Minute Charger)
Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet, then insert battery pack into charger. The charger�s green indicator light will begin to �BLINK�. This indicates that the battery is receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will automatically stop when the battery pack is fully charged. When the indicator light stops �BLINKING� (and becomes a steady green light) fast charging is complete. The battery pack may be used even though the light may still be blinking. The light may require more time to stop blinking depending
on temperature. When you begin the charging process of the battery pack, a steady red light could also mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold. The purpose of the green light is to indicate that the battery pack is fast-charging. It does not indicate the exact point of full charge. The light will stop blinking in less time if the battery pack was not completely discharged. When charging several batteries in sequence, the charge time may slightly increase. When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug the charger (unless you're charging another battery pack) and slip the battery pack back into the tool.
