SmartChip TM BATTERY PROTECTION
SmartChip TM intuitive 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's SmartChip TM 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 shutdown 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) - 122 °F (50°C).
• The POWER BAR will display four flashing LED lights if the SmartChip TM
circuitry detects a momentary overload. You can conveniently reset the
battery pack by pressing the POWER BAR button. Press the POWER BAR
button again to display the remaining charge.
NOTE: The POWER BAR continues to flash four LED lights after reset, place the
battery pack on the charger, charger to evaluate the battery condition (Fig.4)
NOTE: A significantly reduced run time after fully charging the battery pack indicates
that the batteries are near the end of their usable life and must be replaced.
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. Put the battery pack on a 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
The Lithium-ion battery can be Fig. 3
charged at any time and will
not develop a "memory" when
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.
