IMPORTANT: When a low charge level is indicated be aware the tool
may stop operating while using the tool. In some instances this may be
dangerous. It is recommended to always ensure the battery pack has a
good charge level.
Notes about Battery Charging
The battery should be charged at ambient temperatures between
10° C and 40° C (ideally around 20° C).
After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool before use.
Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply after
use, and is stored correctly.
Do not leave batteries on charge for extended periods and never
store batteries on charge.
The battery charger monitors battery temperature and voltage while
charging. Remove the battery once charging has been completed to
maximise charge cycles of the battery and not waste power.
Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in the battery
can fail and the battery could short. The charger will not charge
faulty batteries. Use another battery, if possible, to check correct
functionality of the charger and purchase a replacement battery if a
faulty battery is indicated.
Do not store Lithium-Ion battery packs in a discharged state long
term. This can damage the Lithium-Ion cells. For long-term storage,
store batteries in a high charge state disconnected from the power
tool.
The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge
cycles, the battery's operation time and the maximum torque per-
formance of the tool will slightly reduce. This decline will continue
until the battery has minimal capacity after 500 charge cycles. This
is normal and not a fault with the battery pack.
Battery Disposal
1. Run the tool until the battery is completely discharged.
2. Remove the battery from the tool.
3. Wrap heavy insulating tape around the battery terminals or enclose
in a sealable plastic bag to prevent possible shorting.
