BATTERY RESIDUAL CAPACITY
This indication is made up of four red LEDs which

The indication is turned on when a battery is inserted
into the tool, or the trigger alone is pressed. Stays on
for 5 seconds.
As the residual capacity in the battery decreases,
less and less LEDs will be turned on.
Once residual capacity is below 6% one LED will
start fl ashing.
BATTERY ERROR INDICATIONS
If an error in the battery is detected, the LEDs
will instead of residual capacity show the following
indications, and the tool will not operate. (Figure 4)
