Low battery warning lamp

Off normal eration)

Flashing (No charge) Battery protection feature active

Excessive (complete) discharging of lithium ion batteries shortens their service life dramatically. The tool 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 low battery warning lamp to flash.
• If you notice the low battery warning lamp fl ashing, charge the battery pack immediately.
• If it is started with too little battery power remaining, the tool may stop operating without the low battery warning lamp flashing first. This indicates that there is too little battery power remaining to use the tool, and the battery pack should be charged before further use.
• If the tool is subject to a sudden load during use that causes the motor to lock up, the overdischarge prevention sensor may be triggered, and the low battery warning lamp may flash. The lamp will stop flashing once you address the cause of the motor's locking up and cycle the trigger.

[Battery Pack]

For Appropriate Use of Battery Pack [Fig.10]

• The rechargeable batteries have a limited life.
• Do not use the battery pack soaked in conductors like water.
• For optimum battery life, store the Li-ion battery pack following use without charging it.
• When operating the battery pack, make sure the work place is well ventilated.

For safe use

• The battery pack is designed to be installed by proceeding two steps for safety. Make sure the battery pack is installed properly to the main unit before use.
• If the battery pack is not connected firmly when the switch is switched on, the overheat warning lamp and the battery low warning lamp will flash to indicate that safe operation is not possible, and the main unit will not rotate normally. Connect the battery pack into the unit of the tool until the red or yellow label disappears.
• Only use rechargeable battery packs for Panasonic rechargeable tools. Do not use modified battery packs (including battery packs which have been disassembled and parts replaced).
• Do not use deteriorated battery packs. There is a risk of the generation of heat, ignition and explosion.
• If a battery pack leaks fluid, cease use, keep away from open fl ames, and return it to the store immediately.

• Attach the battery pack by sliding until the yellow and red labels are no longer visible, and check that it does not fall out of place.

• Failure to do so may result in scalding.

• The usage temperature range for lithium ion battery packs is 0 to 40 degrees.

• Use of battery packs cooled to below zero, such as in colder northern areas, may result in abnormal operation of the device. In such cases, leave the battery pack in a location of 10 degrees or more for one hour or more before use, and only use the device after the battery pack has warmed up.

[Battery Charger]

Charging

CAUTION

1) If the temperature of the battery pack falls approximately below -10^ , charging will automatically stop to prevent degradation of the battery.
2) The ambient temperature range is between 0^ and 40^ . If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0^ , the tool may fail to function properly.
3) Use the charger at temperatures between 0^ and 40^ , and charge the battery at a temperature similar to that of the battery itself. (There should be no more than a 15^ difference between the temperatures of the battery and the charging location.)
4) When charging a cool battery pack (below 0^ ) in a warm place, leave the battery pack at the place and wait for more than one hour to warm up the battery to the level of the ambient temperature.
5) Cool down the charger when charging more than two battery packs consecutively.
6) Do not insert your fingers into contact hole, when holding charger or any other occasions.
7) Unplug the charger when not in use.

8) Store the charger between 0 and 40 degrees, and charge the battery pack at a temperature close to the storage temperature.

• If the battery pack is charged while at a temperature below 0 degrees, a full charge will give only around 50% of a normal charge. Commence charging after 1 hour or more at the prescribed temperature.
  9) Do not charge in a poorly ventilated place.
  10) Do not cover the battery pack or charger with a cloth or the like while charging is in progress.

NOTE:

• Your battery pack is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Be sure to charge the battery before use.

How to charge

1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.

NOTE:

• Sparks may be produced when the plug is inserted into the AC power supply, but this is not a problem in terms of safety.

• Connect the battery pack firmly into the charger.

(1) Line up the alignment marks and place the battery onto the dock on the charger.

NOTE:

• Not all battery packs display the alignment marks. [Fig.11]

(2) Slide forward in the direction of the arrow. [Fig.11]

1. During charging, the charging lamp will be lit. When charging is completed, an internal electronic switch will automatically be triggered to prevent overcharging.

2. Charging will not start if the battery pack is hot (for example, immediately after heavy-duty operation). The orange standby lamp will be flashing until the battery cools down. Charging will then begin automatically.

3. The charge lamp (green) will flash slowly once the battery is approximately 80% charged.

4. When charging is completed, the charging lamp in green color will turn off.
5. If the temperature of the battery pack is 0^ or less, charging takes longer to fully charge the battery pack than the standard charging time.

Even when the battery is fully charged, it will have approximately 50% of the power of a fully charged battery at normal operating temperature.

1. Consult an authorized dealer if the charging lamp (green) does not turn off.
2. If a fully charged battery pack is inserted into the charger again, the charging lamp lights up. After several minutes, the charging lamp in green color will turn off.
3. Remove the battery pack while the battery pack release button is held up. [Fig.11]
