ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
CHECKING THE BATTERY CHARGER STATUS
The level of charge remaining in the battery can be checked by using the battery LED
power indicator that is contained on the end of the battery.
NOTE:
The battery charge remaining may be checked while the battery is installed
in the tool with the ON/OFF switch turned OFF. It may also be checked while the
battery is removed from the tool. DO NOT check the battery charge remaining while
the battery is in the charger. You will get a false reading and you may also damage
the battery status system.

amount of charge that is remaining in the battery as follows:
