Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery car-
tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-
perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.

Battery protection system
Thetoolisequippedwithabatteryprotectionsystem.
This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to
extendbatterylife.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the
tooland/orbatteryareplacedunderoneofthefollowing
conditions:
Overloaded:
The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw
anabnormallyhighcurrent.
In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the application
thatcausedthetooltobecomeoverloaded.Thenturn
the tool on to restart.
Ifthetooldoesnotstart,thebatteryisoverheated.Inthis
situation,letthebatterycoolbeforeturningthetoolonagain.
Low battery voltage:
Theremainingbatterycapacityistoolowandthetoolwillnot
operate.Ifyouturnthetoolon,themotorrunsagainbutstops
soon.Inthissituation,removeandrechargethebattery.
