OPERATION
BATTERY PROTECTION
The battery circuitry protects the battery pack from extreme temperature,
over discharge, and over-charge. To protect the battery from damage and
prolong its life, the battery pack circuitry will turn off the battery pack if it
becomes overloaded or if the temperature becomes too high during use. This
may happen in extremely high torque, binding, and stalling situations. The
battery pack will begin normal operation when it cools down.
NOTE:
A significantly reduced run time after fully charging the battery pack
indicates that the battery is near the end of its usable life and must be replaced.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
When the battery pack is very cold, it may “pulse” for the first minute of
use to warm itself. Put the battery pack on a tool and use the tool in a light
application. After about a minute, the battery pack will have warmed itself
and will operate normally.
WHEN TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACk
It is not necessary to run down the battery pack charge before recharging.
The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time and will not develop a
“memory” when charged after only a partial discharge.
Remove the battery pack from the tool when it is convenient for you and your
job. “Top off” the battery pack charge by charging it for a time before starting
a big job or long period of use.
Due to Lithium-Ion fade-free properties, the only time it is necessary to
charge the Lithium-Ion battery pack is when the pack has reached the end
of its charge. To signal the end of charge, power to the tool will drop quickly.
Charge the battery pack as needed.
HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACk
NOTE:
This Lithium-Ion battery pack is shipped partially charged. Before
using it the first time, fully charge the battery pack.
A fully discharged battery pack will charge in about 30 minutes in a
surrounding temperature between 50° F (10° C) and 104° F (40° C).
1. Charge the Lithium-Ion battery
pack with the correct charger.
2. Connect the charger to a power
supply.
3. Align the raised ribs of the battery
pack with the slot in the charger.
4. Insert the battery pack into the
charger (Fig. 2).
