BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
RIDGID 8 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with features
that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize 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. Switching to a lower speed will also prevent
shut down.
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 the lithium-ion charger.
