BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES WARNING: Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury. RIDGID 18 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life. Under some operating conditions, these built-in features may cause the battery and the tool it is powering to act differently from nickel-cadmium batteries. During some applications, the battery electronics may signal the battery to shut down, and cause the tool to stop running. To reset the battery and tool, release the trigger and resume normal operation. NOTE: To prevent further shut down of the battery, avoid forcing the tool. Switching to a lower speed will also prevent shut down. If releasing the trigger does not reset the battery and tool, the battery pack is depleted. If depleted, the battery pack will begin charging when placed on the lithium-ion charger. 7 - English
