vates, allow the driver to cool thoroughly

dramatically. The driver includes a battery
protection feature designed to prevent
excessive discharging of the battery pack.
• The battery protection feature activates
immediately before the battery loses its
charge, causing the battery low warning
lamp to flash.
• If you notice the battery low warning
lamp flashing, charge the battery pack
immediately.

main body of the tool, replace the battery
pack cover immediately in order to prevent
dust or dirt from contaminating the battery
