How to care for the lithium-ion battery
1. Do not use the pivoting screwdriver at
temperatures below
–10° C (14°F).
2. Never allow a battery to freeze.
3. Do not charge a battery that has been
stored at or below 0° C (32°F) or
above 45°C (113° F). Allow it to sit at
room temperature for at least 30
minutes before charging.
4. Do not charge the battery if the tool
seems warm to the touch.
5. To protect the battery this tool is
equipped with a battery monitor
circuit. When the battery voltage
reaches the minimum manufacturer’s
recommended voltage, it interrupts
the power to the tool, signaling that
the battery should be charged.
6. The battery monitoring circuit shuts
down at temperatures below
–15° C
(5° F) to protect the battery.
7. At very low temperatures battery
output is severely reduced. However,
it is safe to use the tool, as its output
will increase to normal levels due to
self-generated heat.
