LOW-BATTERY CAPACITY INDICATOR
NOTICE: A new battery
pack is not fully charged!
First, read the safety rules, and then follow the instructions in the sections entitled
"Important
Charging
Notes" and HOW TO CHARGE THE BA'n'ERY
PACK.
Important
Charging
Notes.
1.
Longest
life and best performance
can be obtained
if batteries are charged
at normal room temperature.
2.
While charging
a battery, the charger will normally
become
warm.
3.
If the batteries do not charge properly:
A. Verifythe
current at the outlet
by plugging
in a lamp or other appliance
and turning
it on.
B. Determine
whether
the outlet
is connected
to a light switch
that turns the
power off when you turn out the lights; if so, make sure that the power is
turned on.
4.
The battery pack should
be recharged
when it fails to produce
sufficient
power on jobs that were previously
done easily or when the FuelGauge
shines red to indicate
that the charge is depleted.
Do not continue
to use
the tool under these conditions.
Repeat the charging
procedure.
5.
Unplug the charger from the power supply
before disconnecting
it from the
tool. Unplug the charger before attempting
to clean.
6.
Battery life depends
on usage, storage temperature
and time.
7.
The charger
is intended to be used in a vertical
or floor-mounted
position.
Unlike other battery types, Lithium-Ion
battery delivers fade-free
power for their
entire run time. The tool will not experience
a slow, gradual loss of power as
you work. To signal that the battery
is at the end of its run time and needs to be
charged,
the power to the tool will drop quickly.
BATTERY
PROTECTION
The battery circuitry
protects
the battery
pack from extreme temperature,
over-
discharge,
and over-charge.
To protect
the battery from damage and prolong
its life, the battery
pack circuitry
will turn off the battery pack if it becomes
overloaded
or if the temperature
becomes
too high during use. This may
happen in extremely
high torque,
binding,
and stalling situations.
This intelligent
system
will shut down your battery
pack if its operating
temperature
exceeds
176°F (80°C)and
will begin normal operation
when it returns to 32°F (0°C) -
104°F (40°C).
NOTICE: A significantly
reduced
run time after fully charging the battery
pack
indicates
that the battery
is near the end of its usable life and must be replaced.
