FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 2, 2A)

indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery
pack.

gauge button (P). A combination of the three green
LED lights will illuminate designating the level of
charge left. When the level of charge in the battery
is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.

charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate
tool functionality and is subject to variation based
on product components, temperature and end-user
application.

lock actuates. Refer to Loading the Tool to reload
a stick of collated nails.
