OPERATION

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS

Lithium-ion batteries deliver fade free power for their entire

run time. Lithium-ion tools will not gradually lose power

due to decreasing battery charge. Instead, power from the

battery pack will drop from full to zero once the full charge

has been drained from the battery. Once this happens,

recharging of the battery is required. It is not necessary to

drain the battery pack completely before recharging.

BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES

Lithium-ion battery packs are designed with features that

protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life.

If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset and

resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the battery

needs to be recharged.

SAFETY RULES

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result

in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an

electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating

condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not

using your battery tool or when changing accessories.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,

fire, or serious personal injury.

Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire

or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly

injury.

Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not

use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped

or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject

to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged

battery immediately.

Batteries can explode in the presence of a source

of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, never use any cordless product

in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can

propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water

immediately.

Charge only with HART

™

20V battery chargers. Use

of other chargers may result in personal injury, fire,

or damage.

Do not charge in an area of extreme heat or cold. It

will work best at normal room temperature. To reduce

the risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside or

in vehicles.

Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,

battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact

with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water.

If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water

for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical

attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious

personal injury.

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from

other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails,

screws, or other small metal objects that can make a

connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the

battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a

fire.

Operation

Lithium-Ion Battery Packs Lithium-ion batteries provide fade-free power throughout their entire run time. Unlike other battery types, lithium-ion tools do not gradually lose power as the charge decreases. Instead, power drops from full to zero once the battery is drained. Recharging is then required. It is not necessary to completely drain the battery pack before recharging.

Battery Protection Features HART lithium-ion battery packs are designed with features to protect the cells and maximize battery life. If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset and resume operation. If it still doesn't work, the battery needs recharging.

Cold Weather Operation The lithium-ion battery pack can be used in temperatures down to 14°F (-10°C). To use in cold conditions, place the battery pack on a tool and use it in a light-duty application. After about a minute, the pack will warm up and begin operating normally.

Charging the Battery Pack Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition and should be charged prior to first use. If the charger does not charge the battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to an Authorized Service Center for electrical check.

Charge only with the recommended HART 20V battery chargers.
Refer to the charger operator's manual for specific charging instructions.

Charging a Hot Battery Pack If the battery pack becomes hot from continuous use, it can be placed directly onto the charger port. However, charging will not begin until the battery temperature cools to within an acceptable range. The charger may indicate the pack is not ready to charge. Once the battery cools, the charger will automatically begin charging.

Charging a Cold Battery Pack A cold battery pack can also be placed directly onto the charger port. Charging will not begin until the battery temperature warms to within an acceptable range. The charger may indicate the pack is not ready to charge. Once the battery warms, the charger will automatically begin charging.

Maintenance

Batteries These batteries are designed for maximum trouble-free life but will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble the battery pack or attempt to replace the batteries. Handling these batteries, especially while wearing rings and jewelry, can result in serious burns.

Battery Pack Storage (longer than 30 days):

Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 80°F (27°C) and away from moisture.
Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged condition.
