The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be
kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be
fully charged, after use.Battery packs which have not
been used for some time should be recharged before
use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the
battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged.

will stop for about 2 seconds 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 battery will
shut down. Place the battery on the charger to charge
