OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
KNOW YOUR LITHIUM-ION RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
80-100% Charge
60-79% Charge
40-59% Charge
20-39% Charge
Under 20% Charge
Completely Discharged
Fuel gauge
This Lithium-Ion battery pack is equipped with a Fuel Gauge, which displays the remaining charge of
the battery pack. Press the Fuel Gauge button to display the LED lights. The LED lights will stay lit for
approximately 4 seconds.
LOW CAPACITY WARNING
If one LED on the Fuel Gauge begins to flash, the battery pack’s charge is under 20% capacity and
should be recharged.
Unlike other battery pack types, Lithium-Ion battery packs deliver fade-free power for their 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 Fuel Gauge will
begin to display four flashing LED lights when it is completely discharged. When this happens, remove the
tool from the workpiece, remove the battery pack and charge the battery pack as needed.
BATTERY PROTECTION
To protect the battery from damage and prolong 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 Fuel Gauge 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 switch. Press the Fuel Gauge button again to display the remaining charge.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
• The Fuel Gauge can be used when the battery pack is attached to or removed from the tool.
• A significantly reduced run time after fully charging the battery pack indicates that the battery pack is near the end of its
usable life and must be replaced.
• If the Fuel Gauge continues to flash four LED lights after reset, place the battery pack on the charger to evaluate the battery
pack condition.
