BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
RIDGID 18 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with features
that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life.
Under some operating conditions, these built-in features
may cause the battery and the tool it is powering to act
differently from nickel-cadmium batteries.
During some applications, the battery electronics may
signal the battery to shut down, and cause the tool to stop
running.
NOTE: To prevent further shut down of the battery, avoid
forcing the tool.
If releasing the trigger and removing and reinstalling the
battery pack does not reset the battery and tool, the battery
pack is depleted. If depleted, the battery pack will begin
charging when placed on the lithium-ion charger.
For complete charging instructions, refer to the operator's
manual for the R840091 charger. For battery pack instruc-
tions, see the manual for the R840084 lithium-ion battery
pack.
