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 cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3.
Charge the battery cartridge with room
temperature at 10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F). Let a
hot battery cartridge cool down before charging
it.
4.
Charge the battery cartridge once in every six
months if you do not use it for a long period of
time.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing
of the battery cartridge.
•
Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when
installing or removing battery cartridge.
Failure to
hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly may cause
them to slip off your hands and result in damage to the
tool and battery cartridge and a personal injury.
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it
into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a
little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper
side of the button, it is not locked completely.
CAUTION:
• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red
indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall
out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the
cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted
correctly.
Battery protection system (Lithium-ion battery
with star marking) (Fig. 2)
Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped
with a protection system. This system automatically cuts
off power to the tool 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, release the trigger switch on the tool
and stop the application that caused the tool to become
overloaded. Then pull the trigger switch again to
restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In
this situation, let the battery cool before pulling the trig-
ger switch again.
• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool
will not operate. In this situation, remove and recharge
the battery.
