LOW-BATTERY INDICATOR
ff the FuelGauge shines red when the on/off switch on the mu_ti-tool is
activated, the battery lack a:owerhas run out, and the battery I:ack should
be recharged.
Unlike other battery.. _>ack tyros, Lithiumqon battery tacks deliver fadeofree
D,owerfor their entire run time. The tool will not exierience a slow, gradual
loss of wower as you work. To signal that the battery iack is at the end of its
run time and needs to be charged, the mowerto the tool will drol cuickly.
NOTICE; The LED may also flash due to an overMoad or high temperature (see
BATTERY PROTECTION},
BATTERY PROTECTION
The battery circuitry i:rotects the battery lack from extreme tern _erature, over°
discharge, and over-charge To trotect the battery from damage and irolong its
life, the battery aack circuitry will turn off the battery _.ackif it becomes overloaded
or if the tern terature becomes too high during use. This may ha t i)en in situations
involving extremely high torcue, binding, and stalling. This intelHgen[system will
shut down your battery lack if its oterating tem|erature exceeds 176"F (80°C}
and will begin normal o_eration when it returns to 122°F (50°C).
_e LED worklight wiHIbegin flash sRowlyif the batte_ circuit@ detects a
momentary overload.
NOTICE: The batte@ can automatically reset, if the LED continues to flash rap-
idly, it is indicating that the charge is substantially diminished. Place the battery
into the charger for charging. (See LOW BATTERY INDICATOR, above.)
NOTICE: A signfficanUy reduced run time after fully charging the battery pack
indicates that [he battery is near the end of its usable life and must be re i,laced.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
This Lithiumqon battery tack will u,rovide o|timal _erformance in tern _eratures
between 32°F (0°C} and 104°F (40°C). When the batte_ eack is very cold, it may
"pumse"for the first minute of use to warm itseffo Put the batte_ pack on a tool
and use the tool in a light at ttication. After about a minute, the batter_ mackwill
have warmed itself and will o lerate normally.
WHEN TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK
It is not necessary to run down the battery lack charge before recharging, The
Lithiumolon battery can be charged at any time and will not develoi a "memo_"
that reduces total charge when recharged after a t,artiat discharge,
Remove the battery i:ack from the tool when convenient for you and yourjob.
"1eL off" the battery tack charge by charging it for a time before starting a big
job or long t:,eriodof use.
Due to Lithium-ion fade4ree irolerties, the only time it is necessary to charge
the Lithium- _on battery tack is when the _ack has reached the end d its
charge. To signal the end of charge, mower to the tool will dro_ ouickly. Charge
the battery _ack as needed.
TO ATTACH BATTERY
PACK (Fig. 2)
1. Make sure that the tool
is "OFFJ'
2. Align the raised ribs on
the battery _ack with the
grooves in the tool, and then
attach the battery Hack.
NOTICE: Make sure that the
latch on the batte_ _ack sna_s
into _lace and that the battery
_ack is secured to the toot
before beginning o_eration.
