entire run time. The tool will not experience
a slow, gradual loss of power as you work. To
signal that the battery pack is at the end of its
run time and needs to be charged, power to the
tool will drop quickly.
The power indicator will begin to display four
flashing LED lights when it is completely dis-
charged. When this happens, remove the tool
from the workpiece and charge the battery pack
as needed.
The LED lights will stay lit for approximately
4 seconds.
NOTICE: The power indicator can be used
whether the battery is attached to or removed
from the tool.
BATTERY PROTECTION
To protect the battery from damage and pro-
long its life, the battery pack 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.
The battery pack will begin normal operation
when it cools down.
The power indicator will display four flashing
LED lights if the circuitry detects a momentary
overload. You can conveniently reset the battery
pack by releasing the power-tool trigger. Press
the power indicator button again to display the
remaining charge.
E N G L I S H •
NOTICE: If the power indicator continues to
flash four LED lights after resetting, place the
battery pack on the charger to evaluate the bat-
tery condition.
NOTICE: it's A significantly reduced run time
after fully charging the battery pack indicates
that the battery is near the end of its usable life
and must be replaced.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
When the battery pack is very cold, it may
"pulse" for the first minute of use to warm it-
self. 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 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 it is convenient for you
and your job.
1. Use the power indicator to determine when
you need to recharge the battery pack.
2. You can "top-off" your battery pack's charge
before starting a big job or long period of use.
3. Due to Lithium-Ion's fade-free properties, the
only time it is necessary to charge the Lithium-
Ion battery pack is when the pack has reached
the end of its charge. To signal the end of
charge, power to the tool will drop quickly.
Charge the battery pack as needed.
HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK (FIG. 2)
A fully discharged battery pack will charge
about 60 minutes (with charger 252-8037) in the
desired surrounding temperature.
