Removing/Installing the Battery

The battery can be removed or installed as indicated.

Battery Protection

The tool may shut off or prevent operation if:

• The load is too high: Remove the load and restart.
• Battery temperature is outside the allowable range (-20°C to +50°C): The battery level indicator will show a warning. Wait until the battery returns to the allowable temperature range.
• The battery is nearly empty (to prevent deep discharge): The battery level indicator will show a low battery warning. Charge the battery.

Do not continue to press the on/off switch after the tool has switched off automatically, as this may damage the battery.

Car Socket Connection

As an alternative to a battery pack, the car socket can be used as a power supply. Remove the car socket adapter from storage and connect it to the car socket.
