maximum current draw is exceeded, protecting the internal components.
The battery will resume normal operation when the current draw returns to
a normal safe level. This may take a few seconds
Short circuit protection: The battery will stop working immediately if a short
circuit occurs, this prevents damage to the battery or tool

Unpacking Your Tool
Carefully unpack and inspect your new tool. Familiarise yourself with all its
features and functions
Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any
parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting
to use this tool
Before Use
Removing a battery
To remove the Battery (11) from the tool, press the Battery Release (12),
then slide the Battery out of the Battery Slot (10)
WARNING: DO NOT try to remove the Battery without pressing the Battery
Release button. The tool or Battery could be damaged.
Fitting a battery
1. To fit a charged battery, slide it on to the Battery Slot (10) of the tool until it
clicks and locks into position
Note: Make sure the Battery and tool are lined up correctly. If the Battery does
not slide into the tool easily, don’t force it. Instead, slide the Battery out of the
tool again, check the top of Battery and the tool battery slot are clean and
undamaged and that the contacts are not bent.
Setting up the battery charger
1. Insert the PSU DC Plug (18) into the Charger DC Socket (21)
2. If fitted, remove any existing battery from the Battery Charger (20)
3. Insert the Charger PSU (17) into a suitable mains socket
Note: The Green LED (22) on the Battery Charger will flash to indicate that the
charger is ready to charge the battery.
WARNING: Use this charger ONLY to charge the supplied battery or additional
purchased batteries that are specifically designed for this tool.
WARNING: The charger is designed for indoor use only, and MUST NOT be
used in damp or wet conditions.
Charging the battery
WARNING: Failure to follow the correct procedure when charging batteries will
result in permanent damage.
1. Slide the Battery Charger (20) onto a fully or partially discharged Battery
Note: Make sure the Battery and Battery Charger are lined up correctly. If the
Battery does not slide on to the Battery Charger easily, don’t force it. Instead,
remove the Battery, check the top of Battery and the Battery Charger slot are
clean and undamaged and that the contacts are not bent.
2. Once charging commences, the Red LED (19) will illuminate
3. When the Battery is fully charged, the Green LED (22) will be illuminated
Battery Charge Level: The Battery has a built-in Battery Charge Indicator (9)
(Fig. I). Pressing on the button to the right will indicate the charge level. The
right LED indicates a high charge level and the left a low charge level that will
mean the battery pack will require charging soon.
IMPORTANT: When a low charge level is indicated, the tool may stop operating
while in use. In some instances this may be dangerous. Always ensure the
battery pack has a good charge level.
Note: It is highly recommended to only use 3.0Ah and 4.0Ah batteries (XT3AHB
& XT4AHB) with this tool due to the high current motor and safety issues with
the battery fully discharging in use stopping the tool operating.
Notes about battery charging:
The battery should be charged at ambient temperatures between 10 and
40°C (ideally around 20°C)
After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool before use
Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply after use,
and is stored correctly
DO NOT leave batteries on charge for extended periods and NEVER store
batteries on charge
The Battery Charger monitors battery temperature and voltage while
charging. Remove the Battery once charging has been completed to
maximise charge cycles of the battery and not waste power
Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in the battery can
fail and the battery could short. The charger will not charge faulty batteries.
Use another battery, if possible, to check correct functionality of the
charger and purchase a replacement battery if a faulty battery is indicated
DO NOT store lithium-ion battery packs in a discharged state long term.
This can damage the lithium-ion cells. For long-term storage, store
batteries in a high charge state disconnected from the power tool
The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge cycles,
the battery’s operation time and the maximum torque performance of the
driver will slightly reduce. This decline will continue until the battery has
minimal capacity after 500 charge cycles. This is normal and not a fault
with the battery pack
