COLD WEATHER OPERATION
The LITHIUM-ION battery pack can be used in temperatures down to -10°C. Put the battery pack
on a tool and use the tool in a light duty application. After about a minute, the pack will have
warmed up and begin operating normally.
BATTERIES
These batteries have been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. However, like all
batteries, they will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace
the batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result
in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
•
Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged and ready for use. For
battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
- Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from
moisture.
- Store battery packs in a 40%-60% charged condition.
- Every six months of storage, charge the battery pack as normal.
