LI-ION BATTERIES
The rechargeable batteries are partially charged. The LED on
the battery indicates the state of charge.
If the battery pack is not used for long periods, it switches to a
non-operative state.
When fully discharged, the battery pack turns o
ff automatically
(depth discharge is not possible).
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of
the battery pack could become too high. If this happens, the
battery pack shuts down. Charge the battery pack and reset it.
The state of charge can be read by pressing the button on
the battery pack. If taking the reading while the battery pack
is installed, the tool must be turned o
ff for at least 1 minute;
otherwise, the display will be inaccurate. The number of LEDs
illuminated indicates the state of charge. A
fl ashing LED
indicates a maximum power reserve of 10%.
If the tool fails to work after inserting the battery pack, recharge
the battery pack. The displays on the battery pack and charger
provide information about the condition of the battery pack.
In low temperatures, work may continue at reduced output.
