cific charging instructions, read the operator’s
manual supplied with your charger and battery.
Removing/Inserting the Battery
To
remove
the battery, push the battery latch lock
to the side and squeeze the battery latch lever. Pull
the battery pack away from the machine.
To
insert
the battery, slide the pack into the body of
the machine. Make sure it latches securely into place
GENERAL
OPERATION
Power Supply Capacity
Make sure the power supply can supply enough
continuous (running) and surge (starting) watts for
the items being powered at the same time.
1. Select the items to be powered at the same time.
2. Total the continuous (running) watts of these items.
This is the amount of power the power supply must
produce to keep the items running. See wattage
reference chart.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts will be
needed. Surge wattage is the short burst of power
needed to start electric motor-driven tools or ap
-
pliances such as a circular saw. Because not all
motors start at the same time, total surge watts
can be estimated by adding only the item(s) with
the highest additional surge watts to the total rated
watts from step 2.
Power Management
To prolong the life of the power supply and attached
devices, it is important to take care when adding
electrical loads to the power supply. There should be
nothing connected to the power supply outlets before
starting the machine. The correct and safe way to
manage power supply power is to sequentially add
loads, as follows:
1.
With nothing connected to the power supply, start
the machine (see "Arming the Machine").
2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the
largest load.
3. Permit the power supply output to stabilize (power
supply runs smoothly and attached device oper
-
ates properly).
4. Plug in and turn on the next load.
5. Again, permit the power supply to stabilize.
6. Never add more loads than the power supply ca
-
pacity. Take special care to consider surge loads
in power supply capacity as previously described.
