C 9
Each of the four LEDs on the battery meter represents
25% of the power.
• The bottom LED will illuminate and flash when the
battery level is low (below 12.5%). The laser may
continue to operate for a short time while the battery
power continues to drain, but the beam(s) will
quickly dim.
• After the 12V/20V MAX Li-ion battery is charged, and
the laser is turned ON again, the laser beam(s) will
return to full brightness and the battery indicator level
will indicate full capacity.
• If all 4 LEDs on the battery meter remain ON, this
indicates that the laser is not fully powered OFF.
When the laser is not in use, make sure the Power/
Transport Lock switch is placed to the LEFT to the
Locked/OFF position (Figure
