COLD WEATHER OPERATION
This Lithium-Ion battery pack will provide optimal performance in temperatures
between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). When the battery pack is very cold, it
may "pulse" for the first minute of use to warm itself. Install the battery pack in
the tool and use the tool in a light application; after about a minute, the battery
pack will have warmed itself and will operate normally.
WHEN TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK
It is not necessary to run down the battery pack charge before recharging. The
Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time and will not develop a "memory"
when charged after only a partial discharge.
Remove the battery pack from the tool when it is convenient for you and your
job. "Top off" the battery pack charge by charging it for a time before starting a
big job or long period of use.
Due to Lithium-Ion fade-free properties, the only time it is necessary to charge the
Lithium-Ion battery pack is when the pack has reached the end of its charge.
The yellow LED on the FuelGauge indicates that the battery has used
approximately one half of its charge.
The red LED on the FuelGauge indicates the battery pack is depleted and needs
to be charged.
Charge the battery pack as needed.
HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK (Fig. 2)
NOTICE: The Lithium-Ion battery pack (available separately) is shipped
