ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack
or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or
conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and
bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
Ambient temperature range for battery during use is between 0°C
and 40°C.
Ambient temperature range for battery storage is between 0°C and
27°C.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with
local, national and international provisions and regulations.
■
The user can transport the batteries by road without further
requirements.
■
Commercial transport of lithium-ion batteries by third parties is
subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation
and transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately
trained persons and the process has to be accompanied by
corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
■
Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated
to prevent short circuit.
■
Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within
packaging.
■
Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.
Check with forwarding company for further advice.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
The battery pack has overload protection that protects it from being
overloaded and helps to ensure long life. Under extreme stress the
battery electronics switch off the product automatically. To restart,
switch the product off and then on again. If the product does not start
up again, the battery pack may have discharged completely. In this
case it must be recharged in the battery charger.
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Overheated cells will reduce performance, run time and life.
Overheating can occur from battery packs being exposed to very hot
environments or from the tool they are powering being over-worked.
The control electronics will automatically shut down the battery pack
to protect the cells which in turn protects the electronics and motor
within the tool. The battery pack will automatically shut itself down
again should the temperature condition remain high when the trigger
is pulled again. The system will continue to shut the battery pack
down until the temperature is returned to a safe operating level.
CURRENT OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The control electronics will instantly shut down the battery back when
excessive current draw is detected - protecting both the battery cells
and the motor of the tool. Releasing the trigger will reset the battery
pack each time.
INDIVIDUAL CELL MONITORING
The control electronics constantly check each individual cell
and automatically adjust its charge and discharge requirements
accordingly.
This system maximises individual cell life whilst ensuring that the
battery pack is delivering peak performance to the tool at all times.
MAINTENANCE
The ventilation slots of the product must be kept clear at all times.
IMPORTANT ! Do not throw away the hard case. Store the
product in the hard case to protect it during transport. Without
it, your warranty may be void if the product is damaged upon
arrival to the service centre.
