WARNING!

The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for diff erent applications, with diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may diff er. This may signifi cantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eff ects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.

WARNING Read these instructions carefully, be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the machine. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

For an optimum life-time, the batteries have to be fully charged, after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery where the temperature is below 27°C and away from moisture Store the battery in a 30% – 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the battery as normal.

Battery protection for Li-Ion batteries

In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge will fl ash,and then the tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperatur of the battery could become to high. If this happens, the fuel gauge will fl ash and the battery pack cool and then continue work.
