Excessive (complete) discharging of
lithium ion batteries shortens their
service life dramatically. The driver
includes a battery protection feature
designed to prevent excessive
discharging of the battery pack.
• The battery protection feature acti-

battery low warning lamp to flash.
• If you notice the battery low warning
lamp flashing, charge the battery
pack immediately.
Recommended Grip
Use the grip to hold and operate the
driver with one hand. If the job requires
additional force, you can push against

other hand.
