and safely disposed of. If the appliance is to be stored unused for a
long period, the batteries should be removed.

For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged,
after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and
away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
Battery protection for Li-Ion batteries
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations
that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5
seconds, the fuel gauge will flash,and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, remove the battery pack from the tool and replace it. Under
extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery pack
could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge will flash until
the battery pack cooled down. After the lights go off, the work may
continue.
