charged after only a partial discharge, It is not necessary to run down the battery pack charge
before recharging, Remove the battery pack from the tool when convenient for you and your job,
• Use the POWER BAR to determine when you need to recharge the battery pack.
• You can "top-off" your battery pack's charge before starting a big job or long period of use.
• Due to Lithium-Ion's fade-free properties, the only time it is necessary to charge the Lithium-
