BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
Craftsman 40 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with
features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize
battery life. Under some operating conditions, these built-in
features may cause the battery and the tool it is powering
to act differently from nickel-cadmium batteries. During
some applications, the battery electronics may signal the
battery to shut down, and cause the tool to stop running.
To reset the battery and tool, place the power switch in
the OFF position; then start the unit and resume normal
operation. If placing the power switch in the OFF position
®
does not reset the battery and tool, the battery pack is
depleted.If depleted, the battery pack will begin charging
when placed on the lithium-ion charger.
