CAUTION!
Don’t operate the tool
continuously when switching
battery packs. The tool
requires time to cool down in between. In
normal operating ambient temperatures
this should take around 5 minutes, in hot
working conditions allow a longer time for
the tool to cool down.
Battery Level Indicator
• The Battery Level indicator is located on the
front of the battery. To check the amount of
power remaining, press and hold the small
circular button (K) on the indication panel.
• Excessive discharging of lithium-ion
batteries dramatically shortens their life.
This tool includes a battery protection
feature to prevent excessive discharging
of the battery pack. If the tool is subject
to a sudden load during use that causes
the motor to lock, the over-discharge
prevention sensor may trigger. If this
happens, address the issue that caused
the motor to lock and cycle the trigger.
NOTE:
The battery level indicator is just a guide.
The indication may change due to the
condition of the battery or the ambient
temperature.
Take note of which of the three lights are
illuminated.
Red, Yellow & Green illuminated = High
Charge (suitable for normal machine
operation)
Red & Yellow illuminated = Low Charge
(unsuitable for normal machine operation
Red light illuminated = No Charge (will
not power machine)
If the battery is of low charge, it should
be charged before further use.
The battery level indicator may be used
with battery connected or disconnected
to the tool.
• If the tool is started with little battery power
remaining, it may stop operating after a
short time. If this happens, check the battery
power remaining by pressing the small
circular button (J) on the indicator panel and
charge the battery pack accordingly.

Battery Care
• The battery pack is not fully charged at
the time of purchase. Be sure to charge
the battery before use.
• For optimum battery life, store the battery
pack following use without charging it.
• Do not charge the battery pack when the
temperature is below 0°C or above 40°C.
• When charging the battery pack ensure
that the terminals on the battery charger
are free of foreign objects such as dust
and water. If any dirt is found on the
terminals clean the terminals before
charging the battery pack. The life of
the battery pack terminals may also
be aected by foreign objects during
operation.
• Avoid storing the battery pack in a
container with other metal objects such
as nails, coins, etc. Metal objects can
make a connection from one terminal
to another and could short the battery
terminals resulting in overheating and
irreparable damage to the battery,
sparks, burns or re.
• Do not touch the terminals with any
conductive material.
• When operating the battery pack, ensure
that the work place is well ventilated.
• When the battery pack is removed
from the main unit, store the battery in
a location to prevent dust or dirt from
contaminating the battery terminals
which may cause a short circuit.
• Do not store the battery pack in locations
where the temperature may reach or
exceed 45°C.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even
if it is severely damaged or is completely
worn out. The battery pack can explode
in a re.
• Do not expose the battery pack to
water or rain.
• Be careful not to drop, shake or strike
the battery.
Battery Pack Life
The rechargeable batteries have a limited
life. If the operation time becomes short
after recharging, replace the battery pack.
ATTENTION!
Battery Recycling
For environmental protection
and recycling of materials, please ensure
that the battery pack is disposed of at an
ocially assigned location.
LED Light
If this tool is equipped with an automatic
LED light which helps to illuminate the
work area: The light illuminates with very
low current and it does not adversely aect
the tool’s performance during use or the
capacity of the battery.
CAUTION!
• Any built in LED light is
designed to illuminate the
work area temporarily.
• Do not use it as a substitute
for a regular ashlight as it does not have
sucient brightness.
Note: The LED light turns o automatically a
few seconds after the wrench has stopped
operating.
WARNING!
DO NOT STARE INTO
THE BEAM
– LED lights
are very bright and may
cause injury to the eye.
