battery packs.
WARNING
Always remove the battery pack from your drill
when you are assembling parts, making adjust-
ments, assembling or removing bits, cleaning,
or when not in use. Removing the battery pack
will prevent accidental starting that could

BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
Ryobi 18 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with
features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximise
battery life. Under some operating conditions, these
built-in features may cause the battery and the tool it is
powering to act differently from nickel-cadmium batteries.
During some applications, the battery electronics may
signal the battery to shut down, and cause the tool to
stop running. To reset the battery and tool, release the
trigger and resume normal operation.
NOTE: To prevent further shut down of the battery, avoid
forcing the tool.
If releasing the trigger does not reset the battery and tool,
the battery pack is depleted. If depleted, the battery pack
will begin charging when placed on a lithium-ion charger.
