New batteries are shipped in a low charged condition and
should be fully charged before Use. The battery pack can
be recharged at any time during use, provided the pack is
not overheated. If the battery pack starts to cut out due to
low voltage, or previous tasks undertaken can no longer
be performed, it is suggested to stop using the tool and
