To obtain the best life for the battery
Never allow the tool to completely drain the battery and
come to a complete stand still before recharging. The
battery should be placed on charge whenever the battery
is noticeably running down or the tool no longer performs a
task it previously performed. For storage, charge between
50 and 75%. Avoid allowing loose items like screws or nails
etc. to be stored with battery packs as these or similar items
can short battery packs and cause a fire or explosion.
Always unplug the charger when not in use and store in
a dry secure place.
Avoid charging or storing your battery in temperatures
below 0ºC and above 40ºC.
Safety features incorporated with ALL tools
using this battery pack
Product overload
These tools are fitted with an overload protection. If the
tool is excessively forced, or the task being performed is
too great for the tool, the tool will automatically go into
an overload mode. When the tool goes into overload, the
tool will automatically and suddenly STOP. To reset the
overload, simply release the trigger. When the trigger is
pressed again, the tool will restart. Resume work after the
overload has been reset, but reduce the load by using a
smaller drill bit or re-sharpen the existing drill bit and reduce
the amount of force placed on the tool.
CAUTION. Do not continue to overload the tool and
constantly reset the overload. Doing this will cause the
battery cells to overheat.
