BATTERY INFORMATION

Before attempting to us this tool make sure the
batteries are properly charged. A discharged
battery may result in a poor weld or no weld
condition.
1. The battery pack accepts only about 80% of
its maximum capacity with its first few
charge cycles. However, after the first few
charge cycles, the battery will charge to full
capacity.
2. The charger was designed to fast charge the
battery only when the battery temperature is
/ /
between 40 F (4 C) and 105
3. A substantial drop in operating time per charge may mean that the battery pack is nearing the end of
its life and should be replaced.
4. If you anticipate long periods (i.e. a month or more) of non-use of your tool, it is best to run your tool
down until it is fully discharged before storing your battery pack. After a long period of storage, the
capacity at first recharge will be lower. Normal capacity will be restored in two or three
charge/discharge cycles. Remember to unplug charger during storage period.
5. If battery does not charge properly:
A. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in some other electrical device.
B. Check to see if outlet is connected to a light switch which turns power "off"when lights are turned
off.
C. Check battery pack terminals for dirt. Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if necessary.
