Positioning the Adjustable Handle

1. Loosen the handle knob.
2. Move and rotate the adjustable handle to a comfortable

working position (Fig. 5).

3. Tighten the handle knob (Fig. 5).

Battery Pack Operation

The equipment is powered by a lithium-ion battery. The battery

pack is completely sealed and maintenance free.

Battery Charge Level Indicator

The battery pack is equipped with a push button for checking

the charge level. Simply press the push button to read off the

battery charge level from the LEDs of the battery indicator:

• All 3 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level

is high.

• 2 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level is

decreasing. Stop work as soon as possible.

• 1 level monitoring LED is lit: Battery is flat. Stop work

IMMEDIATELY and charge the battery. Otherwise the

battery’s service life will be greatly shortened.

NOTE: If the charge level button does not appear to be

working, place the battery pack on the charger and charge as

needed.

NOTE: Immediately after using the battery pack, the charge

level button may display a lower charge than it will if checked

a few minutes later. The battery cells “recover” some of their

charge after resting.

a big job or after a long day of use.
