Be particularly careful when impacting smaller fasteners
because they require less impacting to reach optimum torque.
Practice with various fasteners, noting the length of time
required to reach the desired torque.
Check the tightness with a hand-torque wrench.
If the fasteners are too tight, reduce the impacting time.
If they are not tight enough, increase the impacting time.
Oil, dirt, rust, or other matter on the threads or under the head
of the fastener a
ff ects the degree of tightness.
The torque required to loosen a fastener averages 75% to
80% of the tightening torque, depending on the condition of the
contacting surfaces.
On light gasket jobs, run each fastener down to a relatively
light torque and use a hand-torque wrench for
fi nal tightening.
BATTERIES
New battery packs reach full loading capacity after 4 - 5
charges and discharges. Battery packs that have not been
used for some time should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the
performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to
heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum lifetime, the battery packs must be fully
charged after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, remove the battery
pack from the charger after 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.
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.
● Batteries can be transported 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 the battery pack is secured against movement
within packaging.
● Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking.
Check with the forwarding company for further advice.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION LI-ION BATTERY
