OPERATION
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
When the battery pack is very cold, it may
“pulse” for the first minute of use to warm
itself. Put the battery pack on a tool and use
the tool in a light application. After about a
minute, the battery pack will have warmed
itself and will operate normally.
WHEN TO CHARGE THE
BATTERY PACK
The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at
any time and will not develop a “memory”
when charged after only a partial discharge.
It is not necessary to run down the battery
pack charge before recharging. Remove
the battery pack from the tool when it is
convenient for you and your job.
1. Use the power indicator to determine when
you need to recharge the battery pack.
2. You can “top-off” your battery pack’s
charge before starting a big job or long
period of use.
3. Due to Lithium-Ion’s fade-free
properties, the only time it is necessary
to charge the Lithium- Ion battery pack
is when the pack has reached the end of
its charge. To signal the end of charge,
power to the tool will drop quickly.
Charge the battery pack as needed.
HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
PACK (FIG. 3)
A fully discharged battery pack will charge
about 30 minutes (with charger 252-8037) in
the desired surrounding temperature.
1. Charge the battery pack with the correct
charger.
2. Connect the charger to a power supply .
3. Attach the battery pack to the charger
by aligning the raised ribs of the battery
pack with the slot in the charger. Slide
the battery pack onto the charger.
4. The charger will communicate with the
battery pack’s circuitry to evaluate the
condition of the battery pack.
5. During normal charging, the green LED
on the charger will flash continuously.
6. After charging is complete, the green
LED on the charger will be on. The
power indicator LED lights will not be
displayed when the power indicator
button is pressed while the battery pack
is on the charger.
7. The battery pack will fully charge, but
will not overcharge, if left on the charger.
