TECHNICAL DATA

WARNING!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 50636-2-100 Annex BB 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 significantly 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 switchedoff or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly 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.

NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES

Use of Li-Ion batteries
Batteries which have not been used for some time should be recharged before use. Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of the battery. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating). The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean. 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.

Transport of Li-Ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with local, national and international provisions and regulations.

• The user can transport the batteries by road without further requirements.
• Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained persons and the process has to be accompanied by corresponding experts.

When transporting batteries:

• Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to prevent short circuit.
• Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within packaging.
