The tool will not experience a slow, gradual loss of power as you work. To signal that the battery pack is at the end of its run time and needs to be charged, power to the tool will drop quickly. The POWER BAR will begin to display four flashing LED lights when it is completely discharged. When this happens, remove the tool from the workpiece and charge the battery pack as needed.

To protect the battery from damage and prolong its life, the battery pack's SmartChip TM circuitry will turn off the battery pack if it becomes overloaded or if the temperature becomes too high during use. This may happen in extremely high torque, binding and stalling situations. This intelligent system will shutdown your battery pack if its operating temperature exceeds 176°F (80°C) and will begin normal operation when it returns to 32°F (0°C) - 122°F (50°C). ill The POWER BAR will display four flashing LED lights if the SmartChip TM circuitry detects a momentary overload. You can conveniently reset the battery pack by pressing the POWER BAR button. Press the POWER BAR button again to display the remaining charge. i NOTE: if the POWER BAR continues to flash four LED lights after reset, place the | battery pack on the ChargerlAdapter to evaluate the battery condition (see Fig. 4).
