BATTERY INFORMATION & CHARGING
Plug charger into your standard power outlet.
With no battery pack inserted, the charger's green
indicator light will go ON. This indicates the charger
is receiving power and the charger is ready for
operation.
When you insert the battery pack into the charger.
The charger's green indicator light will begin to
"BLINK". This indicates that the battery is receiving
a fast charge.
When the indicator light stops "BLINKING" (and
becomes a steady green light) fast charging is
complete. The battery pack is fully charged and can
be removed from the charger.
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.
The purpose of the green light is to indicate that the
battery pack is fast-charging. It does not indicate
the exact point of charge. The light will stop
blinking in less time if the battery pack was not
completely charged.
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.
Fast charging is only possible when the temperature range of the battery pack is between 32F (0C)
and 113F (45C). When needed, the internal fan of the charger will turn on to aid the charging
process and speed.
Charger is plugged in and receiving power.
Battery is receiving a Quick Charge.
Battery is too hot or cold to receive charge. Charging
starts when the battery reaches the proper temperature.
Battery cannot accept a charge. Replace battery.
As soon as the battery pack reaches the correct temperature range, the battery charger will automatically
switch to fast charging.
7
If the red indicator light is "BLINKING", the battery pack cannot accept a charge.
!Check to make sure the battery pack is inserted to the charger properly.
!Clean the contacts of the charger or battery pack (e. g. by inserting and removing the battery
several times) or replace the battery pack as required.
When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug the charger (unless you're charging another battery pack) and
install the battery pack back into the tool.
INSTALLING A BATTERY
1. Hold the tool firmly with one hand.
2. Using your other hand, insert the battery
into the tool with a sliding motion.
3. Firmly push the battery until fully seated.

release button on the battery and slide out.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STRAP TENSION
Failure to use the proper strap/seal/tool
combination for the load being strapping
can result in an improperly secured load
which can result in severe personal
injury. If you have any questions, contact
your local Signode Representative.
Strap tension is controlled by setting the control
on the rear of the tool. Adjust the tool to give the
desired tension level. Rotate the tension control
clockwise to increase strap tension.
Once the tool has been set, tension will be uniform
on all straps provided the operator allows the
motor to stall.
