battery is at the end of its run time and needs to be charged. Charge
the battery as needed.
HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
• Connecttheplugcabletothecharger,and
then plug into an appropriate outlet before
inserting battery. All three charging lights will
be on for two seconds and then off. (Fig. 1)
• Insert the battery into the charger, making sure it
is fully fully seated in the charger. (Fig. 2) During
the charging process, the charging lights will
indicate the charging status as follows:
- Less than 30% charged: all three charging
lights will blink in sequence.
- Less than 60% charged: one light will stay
on, while the other two lights will blink in
sequence.
- Over 60% charged: two lights will stay on,
while the remaining light will blink continuously.
- Fully charged: all three lights will remain on continuously.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and
may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust,
oil, grease, etc.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Store your battery in a cool, dry place. As a general practice, it is best
to unplug battery chargers and remove batteries when not in use. No
battery damage will occur, however, if the charger and battery are
left plugged in.
CLEANING
Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, remove the battery
from the tool. For safe and proper operation, always keep the tool
and its ventilation slots clean. Always use only a soft, dry cloth to
clean your battery; never use any detergent or alcohol.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Carefully read this manual and all labels affixed to the battery before
using. Keep this manual available for future reference.

KNOW YOUR BATTERY
Before attempting to use the battery, familiarize yourself with all of
its operating features and safety requirements.
BATTERY PROTECTION
The battery circuitry protects the battery from extreme temperature,
over-discharge, and over-charge. To protect the battery from
damage and prolong its life, the battery circuitry will turn off the
battery 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 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).
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
This lithium-ion battery will provide optimal performance in
temperatures between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). When the
battery is very cold, it may “pulse” for the first minute of use to
warm itself. Put the battery on a tool and use the tool in a light
application. After about a minute, the battery will have warmed itself
and will operate normally.
WHEN TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time and will not
develop a “memory” if it is charged after only a partial discharge.
It is not necessary to completely discharge the battery before
recharging. Remove the battery from the tool and recharge it when
it is convenient or when it is not in use.
To check the remaining power of the battery, you need to install it to
a tool that matches. Press the switch of the tool; the power indicator
on the tool will show the remaining power.
It is recommended that the battery be brought up to full charge
before starting a big job or using it for an extended period of time.
This lithium-ion battery delivers fade-free power; the only time it is
necessary to charge it is when the battery has reached the end of its
