WARNING:
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
CHECKING THE BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL
Press the charge meter button on the battery. The number of lights
that illuminate will indicate the current charge level of the battery
(Fig. 7). If all four lights are dark, charge the battery before any
further use.
NOTE: While in use, lithium-ion batteries provide power with
minimal power fade. When the battery is fully discharged, it will
immediately cut power to the unit and require charging.
