(3) Battery low warning lamp
Off
(normal
operation)
Excessive (complete) discharging
of lithium ion batteries shortens their
service life dramatically. The driver
includes a battery protection feature
designed to prevent excessive dis-
charging of the battery pack.
• The battery protection feature acti-
vates immediately before the bat-
tery loses its charge, causing the
battery low warning lamp to flash.
• If you notice the battery low warning
lamp flashing, charge the battery
pack immediately.
• If it is started with too little battery
power remaining, the tool may stop
operating without the battery low
warning lamp flashing first. This
indicates that there is too little bat-
tery power remaining to use the
tool, and the battery pack should be
charged before further use.
• If the tool is subject to a sudden
load during use that causes the
motor to lock up, the overdischarge
prevention sensor may be trig-
gered, and the battery low warn-
ing lamp may flash. The lamp will
stop flashing once you address the
cause of the motor's locking up and
cycle the trigger.

• When charging the battery pack, con-
firm that the terminals on the bat-
tery charger are free of foreign sub-
stances such as dust and water etc.
Clean the terminals before charging
the battery pack if any foreign sub-
stances are found on the terminals.
The life of the battery pack terminals
may be affected by foreign substances
such as dust and water etc. during
operation.
• 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 togeth-
er may cause sparks, burns or a fire.
• When operating the battery pack,
make sure the work place is well ven-
tilated.
• When the battery pack is removed
from the main body of the tool, replace
the battery pack cover immediately in
order to prevent dust or dirt from con-
taminating the battery terminals and
causing a short circuit.
Battery Pack Life
The rechargeable batteries have a
limited life. If the operation time be-
comes extremely short after recharg-
ing, replace the battery pack with a
new one.
