Battery Care
• If the tool is started with little battery power
remaining, it may stop operating after a short
time. If this happens charge the battery pack
accordingly.
• Excessive discharging of lithium-ion
batteries dramatically shortens their life. This
tool includes a battery protection feature to
prevent excessive discharging of the battery
pack. If the tool is subject to a sudden load
during use that causes the motor to lock, the
over-discharge prevention sensor may trigger.
If this happens, address the issue that caused
the motor to lock and cycle the trigger.
• For optimum battery life, store the battery
pack following use without charging it.
• Do not charge the battery pack when the
temperature is below 0°C or above 40°C.
• When charging the battery pack ensure
that the terminals on the battery charger
are free of foreign objects such as dust and
water. If any dirt is found on the terminals
clean the terminals before charging the
battery pack. The life of the battery pack
terminals may also be affected by foreign
objects during operation.
• Avoid storing the battery pack in a
container with other metal objects such as
nails, coins, etc. Metal objects can make a
connection from one terminal to another and
could short the battery terminals resulting in
overheating and irreparable damage to the
battery, sparks, burns or fire.
• Do not touch the terminals with any
conductive material.
• When operating the battery pack, ensure
that the work place is well ventilated.
• When the battery pack is removed from
the main unit, store the battery in a location
to prevent dust or dirt from contaminating
the battery terminals which may cause a
short circuit.
• Do not store the battery pack in locations
where the temperature may reach or exceed
45°C
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if
it is severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water
or rain.
• Be careful not to drop, shake or strike the
battery.
