NOTE: ABOUT BATTERY CHARGING:
The battery should be charged at ambient temperatures between 10 and 40° C. (ideally
around 20°C).
After discharging the battery, please wait 10 minutes for the battery to cool down before
charging.
After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool before use.
Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply after use, and is stored
correctly.
Do not leave batteries on charge for extended periods and never store batteries on charging.
The Battery Charger monitors battery temperature and voltage while charging. Remove the
battery once charging is complete to maximise charge cycles of the battery and not waste
power.
Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in the battery can fail and the battery
could short. The charger will not charge faulty batteries. Use another battery if possible, to
check correct functionality of the charger and purchase a replacement battery if a faulty
battery is indicated.
Do not store lithium-ion battery packs in a discharged state over a long period as this can
damage the lithium-ion cells.
For long-term storage, store batteries in a high charge state disconnected.
The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge cycles, the battery�s opera-
tion time and the maximum torque performance of the driver will slightly reduce. This decline
will continue until the battery has minimal capacity after 250 charge cycles. This is normal and
not a fault with the battery pack.
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 together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
If the tool will not be used for long periods of time, charge the battery every 3-6 months.
