Important information – Product care
This wrench/driver uses lithium ion battery cells. Care
MUST be taken to ensure both the safety and life of the
pack is maintained. Ensure you have read all of the safety
notes in the previous pages before using the wrench/driver.
Safety devices and circuitry for this tool are located in
the battery pack of this tool. The battery pack is a vital
component, not just for the power source, but also for
the full safety control for both the charging and also the
tool operation. Treat the battery pack with care and within
the guidelines of this manual. If the pack does become
immersed in water or any fluids, or is subject to a severe
drop etc, or it does not operate within the guidelines of
this manual, immediately STOP using the battery pack
and have it checked.
During operation avoid overloading the wrench/driver. If
the wrench driver is overloaded it will automatically STOP.
Overloading may occur for a number of reasons including
when the wrench driver is pushed too hard or when using
a wrench bit or attachment greater than what is specified. If
you do overload the wrench driver during operation refer to
the “Overload” section in this manual.
Note:
When the battery of the wrench is at the lower end of
the charge, the wrench is more susceptible to the overload
condition.
As mentioned above the battery pack is an integral
component of this tool and it is fitted with thermal safety
devices. Running the wrench at close to maximum load,
or continual resetting of the overload will cause the battery
pack to over heat. When a preset cell temperature is
detected, the battery pack will automatically STOP
operating and will not restart until the battery pack has
cooled to a safe level.
In this condition, DO NOT force cool the pack by placing in
a freezer or similar device. Refer to the “
Overload
” section
in this manual.
Another feature of the battery pack is the
low voltage
cut out
feature. This feature operates when the voltage
drops below a pre set value. When this occurs the tool
will automatically stop operating. To correct the situation
you need to either insert another charged battery into the
wrench or recharge the existing battery, and then proceed
with the wrenching/driving application.
Note:
Attempting to restart the tool in this condition without
either recharging the battery or installing a battery with
charge will lead to wrench restarting and then stopping
again after only a few seconds of operation.
These safety devices have been fitted for the safety,
reliability and life of the tool.
Fitting and removing the battery pack
To remove the battery pack
from the wrench firmly press the
battery release button (6) at the
front of the battery pack, and
slide the battery forward out of
the tool until the pack comes to
a stop or when the white arrow
indicator has aligned with the
open symbol on the wrench.
The battery pack can now pull
away from the wrench.
To install the battery pack with
the wrench or charger base, align
the battery pack with the wrench
base and insert firmly into place
by lining the white arrow indicator
with the open symbol on the
side of the wrench or charger
base. Slide the pack backwards
until the arrow indicator aligns with the lock symbol. Ensure
the battery pack locks into position, you will hear a click.
