• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of
fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
• Do not place any object on top of charger or place the
charger on a soft surface that might block the ventilation
slots and result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger
in a position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated
through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug—have
them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to
an authorised service centre.
• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorised service
centre when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly
may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
• In case of damaged power supply cord, the supply cord must
be replaced immediately by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similar qualified person to prevent any hazard.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting
any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect two chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard 230V
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any
other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
Charging a Battery
WARNING: Do not charge the battery at ambient
temperatures below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended
charging temperature: approx. 24 °C.
The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever
it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily done
before. The battery may become warm while charging; this is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
nOTE: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell
temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C. The
battery should be left in the charger and the charger will
begin to charge automatically when the cell temperature
warms up or cools down.
nOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium‑ion
battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
battery pack
.
2. The green charging light will blink continuously indicating
that the charging process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the green
charging light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is
fully charged and may be removed and used at this time or left
in the charger.
4. Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will
be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Charger LED Modes
Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the battery pack.
Charger Indicators for all chargers except SFMCB10
I
Charging: Green LED Intermittent
J
Fully Charged: Green LED Solid
K
Hot/Cold Pack Delay: Green LED Intermittent, Red LED Solid
SFMCB10 Charger Indicators
Charging
Fully Charged
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
nOTE: The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery
pack. The charger will indicate a faulty battery pack by refusing
to light.
nOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger. If the
charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery pack
to be tested at an authorized service centre.
Leaving the Battery in the Charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the LED
glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh
and fully charged.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or too
cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, the green
LED will flash intermittently, while the red LED will remain on
continuously, suspending charging until the battery has reached
an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery life.
Wall Mounting
Some STANLEY FATMAX chargers are designed to be wall
mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall
mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet,
and away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede
air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the location
of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger securely
using drywall screws (purchased separately) at least 25.4 mm
long, with a screw head diameter of 7–9 mm, screwed into wood
to an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5 mm of the screw
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.
nOTE: Do not attempt to mount SFMCB10 charger under a
bench or table.
nOTE: Only mount SFMCB10 charger with the charging lights
pointed upward toward the ceiling.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from
the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be removed
from the exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic
