1. Charge Battery - The Altissimo battery was fully charged at

the factory, however, the battery may have discharged during
shipping and storage. It is recommended to leave the charger
connected for at least fourteen hours. The charging circuit is
designed to provide a maintenance charge to the battery and
may remain connected for the duration of use. The tool will
remain ON while the charger is plugged in regardless of the
position of the Battery Power ON/OFF Switch.
Removing the Charger plug and reinserting will initiate
another charge cycle depending on the state of charge of the
battery.


If the Low Battery ICON comes on, locate the charger and
plug it into the Power Jack on the right side of the Display.
(Figure 3)


See Page 19 for additional Battery Charging information.

precautions.
