Description

Know Your Tool

NOTICE : Before attempting to use your tool, familiarize yourself with the operating features and safety requirements.

WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with the tool to lead to a lack of alertness. A fraction of a second of carelessness is enough to cause severe injury.

Product Specifications

WARNING : The safe use of this product requires an understanding of the information on the tool and in this operator’s manual, as well as knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before using this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety rules.

LOCK-OFF BUTTON
The lock-off button reduces the possibility of accidental starting.

BATTERY GAUGE
The battery gauge displays how much power the battery still has.

TRIGGER SWITCH
To turn the tool ON, press the on/off trigger switch. To turn the tool OFF, release the on/off switch.

BLADE QUICK-RELEASE BUTTON
The blade quick-release button makes charging attachments easier.

Operation

Low Battery Capacity Indicator
If the battery gauge shines red when the trigger is pressed, then the battery has run out of power and needs to be recharged. Unlike other battery-pack types, Lithium-Ion batteries deliver fade-free power for their entire run time. The tool will not experience a slow, gradual loss of power as you work. To signal that the battery back is at the end of its runtime and needs to be charged, the power to the tool will drop quickly.

NOTICE : The LED may also flash due to an overload or high temperature (see BATTERY PROTECTION)

Battery Protection
To protect the battery from damage and prolong its life, the battery pack circuitry will turn off the battery pack if it becomes overloaded or if the temperature becomes too high during use. This may happen in extremely high torque, binding, or stalling situations. The intelligent system will shut down the battery pack if the operating temperature exceeds 80°C and will begin normal operation once it has returned to 50°C. The battery pack will resume normal operation once cooled down.

NOTICE: A significantly reduced run time after fully charging the battery pack indicates that the battery is near the end of its usable life and must be replaced.

Cold Weather Operation
The lithium-ion battery pack will provide optimal performance in temperatures between 0°C and 40°C. When the battery pack is very cold, it may “pulse” for the first minute or so to warm itself. Put the battery pack on the tool and use it in a light operation (or run it with no load at all). After about a minute, the battery pack will have warmed itself and will operate normally.

When to Charge the Battery
It is not necessary to run down the battery pack charge completely before recharging. The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time and will not develop a “memory” when charged after only a partial discharge.

Remove the battery pack from the tool when convenient for you and your job. “Top off” the battery pack charge by charging it for a time before starting a big job or long period of use. Due to the Lithium -Io n fade-free properties, the only time it is necessary to charge the Lithium­ Ion pack is when the pack has reached the end of its charge. To signal the end of the charge, the power to the tool will drop quickly, then you can charge the battery as needed.

How to Charge the Battery

NOTICE: The Lithium-Ion battery is shipped partially charged. Before using it for the first time, please fully charge the battery pack.

A fully discharged battery pack will charge in about 30 minutes when charged in temperatures between 0°C and 40°C.

1. Charge the Lithium-Ion battery pack only with the supplied charger.
2. Connect the charger to a power supply
3. Align the raised ribs of the battery pack with the slot in the charger.
4. Insert the battery pack into the charger (as shown to the right).
5. The charger will communicate with the battery pack to evaluate the condition of the battery
6. The green lights will flash while the battery is charging. After charging is complete, the green LED on the charger will be on. A flashing red LED will indicate a defective battery or a bad connection between the battery and the charger.
7. The battery pack will fully charge if left on the charger, however, it will not overcharge

LED Functions of the Charger

Charging a Hot Battery Pack
If the battery pack is above the normal temperature range, the red LED will illuminate and the green LED will be off. When the battery pack cools down to approximately 40°C, the charger will automatically begin charging.

1. If registered as defective, remove and reinsert the battery pack into the charger. If the LED status reads as defective a second time, try charging a different battery
2. If a different battery pack charges as normal, dispose of the defective battery pack.
3. If a different battery pack also indicates it is defective, then the charge itself may be defective.

Battery Charging
If the battery pack is charged within a normal surrounding temperature range of 0°C to 40°C, the green LED will begin flashing and the red LED will be off. The battery pack should reach full charge in approximately 30 minutes.

Battery Full
When the battery is fully charged, the green LED light on the charger will be on and the red LED light will be off.

NOTICE: The battery pack will charge fully, however, it will not overcharge if left on the charger. NOTICE: The charger may warm with several continuous charge cycles. This is part of the normal operation of the charger. Charge in a well-ventilated area.
