designed to prevent excessive
discharging of the battery pack.

vates immediately before the bat-
tery loses its charge, causing the
battery low warning lamp to flash.

lamp flashing, charge the battery
pack immediately.

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 togeth-
er may cause sparks, burns or a fire.
• When operating the battery pack,
make sure the work place is well ven-
tilated.
Battery Pack Life
The rechargeable batteries have a
limited life. If the operation time be-
comes extremely short after recharg-
