Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1.
Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2.
Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.
3.
Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a
hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4.
Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use it for a long period (more than six months).
Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection system. This system automatically cuts off power
to the motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool
or battery is placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
When the battery is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool
stops automatically. In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the application that caused the tool to
become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the tool/battery is overheated, the tool stops automatically. In this situation, let the tool/battery
cool before turning the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops automatically. In this case, remove the battery
from the tool and charge the battery.
Indicating the remaining battery
Battery pack LED indicator
KIMO battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of four LED lights that indicate the level of charge
remaining in the battery pack.The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of charge remaining in
the battery pack according to the following indicators:
CAUTION:
Only use genuine KIMO batteries.
Use of non-genuine KIMO batteries, or batteries that
have been altered, may result in the battery bursting causing fires, personal injury and damage. It will
also void the KIMO warranty for the KIMO tool and charger.
