General Safety Rules - For All Battery Operated Tools

_ WARNING! Read and understand all

instructions. Failure to follow all instruc-

tions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

benches and dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos- pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-

uids, gases, or dusL Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away

while operating a power tool Distractions can

cause you to lose control

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Do notabuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry

the tooL Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.

• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only

with the specified charger for the battery. A charg-

er that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery

• Use battery operated tool only with the specifical- ly designed battery pack. Use of any other batteries

may create a risk of fire.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com- mon sense when operating a power tool Do not

use tool while tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inatten-

tion while operating power tools may result in serious

personal inju84,

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew- elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose cloth- ing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving

parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or OFF position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or

inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents. Be sure contact trip is also in the

locked off position. This prevents nailer from acciden-

tal discharge.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turn- ing the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached

to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal- ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec- tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate

conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to a loss of control

• Do not force tool Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.

Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making

any adjustments, changing accessories, or stor- ing the tooL Such preventative safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally,

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

• Whenbatterypackisnotinuse, keepitawayfrom other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that

can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause sparks, bums, or a fire.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cut- ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to con-

trol

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition

that may affect the tool's operation, ff damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many acci- dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model Accessories that

may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel Service or maintenance performed

by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury,

• When servicing a tool use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in

the Maintenance section of this manual Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow

Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

Important Safety Instructions for Nailers

A WARNING: When using any nailer, all safety precautions, as outlined below, should be fol-

lowed to avoid the risk of death or serious injury. Read and understand all instructions

before operating the tooL

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the

cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed

metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

• Actuating tool may result in flying debris, collation material, or dust which

could harm operator's eyes. The operator and all those persons in the general area

should wear safety glasses with perma- nently attached side shields. Approved safety glasses are imprinted with the char-

acters 'Z87.1" It is the employer's respon- sibility to enforce the use of eye protection

equipment by the tool operator and other

people in the work area. (Fig. A)

• Always wear appropriate personal hear- ing and other protection during use.

Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to

hearing loss. (Fig. A)

• Disconnect battery pack from the tool whenever clearing a jam, performing any

maintenance or repair, moving the tool or when the tool is unattended.

• Do not remove, tamper with, or other- wise cause the tool, trigger, contact trip

lock-off, or contact trip to become inop-

erable. Do not tape or tie trigger or contact trip in the on position. Do not remove spring

from contact trip. Uncontrolled discharge could result.

• Do notoperate a toolifanyportion of the tool, trigger, contact trip lock-off, or con-

tact trip is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working properly.

Damaged parts or missing parts should be repaired or replaced before use.

• Do not alter or modify the tool in any way.

• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.

• Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at any time. No horseplay! Work

safe! Respect the tool as a working imple- ment. (Fig. B)

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tooL

Distractions can cause you to lose control When the tool is not in use, it should

be locked in a safe place out of reach of children.

• Do not carry the tool from place to place

holding the trigger. Accidental discharge could result.

• Always use contact trip lock-off when

tool is not in immediate use. Using the contact trip lock-off will prevent accidental

discharge.

• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing

and balance at all times. (Fig. C)

• Use the tool only for its intended use. Do

not discharge fasteners into open air, concrete, stone, extremely hard woods, knots or any material too hard for the

fastener to penetrate. Discharged fasten- ers may follow unexpected path and cause

injury. (Figs. D, F)

• Do not use the body of the tool or top

cap as a hammer.

• Always keep fingers clear of nail track of

magazine to prevent injury from inadver- tent release of the pusher. (Fig. G)

• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs

sections for detailed information on the

proper maintenance of the tooL

• Always operate the tool in a clean, light-

ed area. Be sure the work surface is clear of any debris and be careful not to lose foot-

ing when working in elevated environments such as rooftops.

• Do not drive fasteners near edge of

materiaL The workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a co- worker. Be aware that the nail may follow

the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to

protrude unexpectedly from the side of the

work material Drive the chisel point of the nail perpendicular to the grain to reduce risk of injury. (Figs. E, F, L)

• Keep hands and body parts clear of

immediate work area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to keep hands and

body out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured before press-

ing the nailer against the material The con- tact trip may cause the work material to shift

unexpectedly. (Fig. G)

• Do not use tool in the presence of flam-

mable dust, gases or fumes. The tool may

FIG. I

FIG. L

produce a spark that could ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another

nail may also cause a spark. (Fig. H)

• Keep face and body parts away from

back of the tool cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result

in impact to the body, especially when nail- ing into hard or dense material (Fig. I)

BUMP/SEQUENTIAL SELECTOR SWITCH

Sequential Action /" (Fig. J)

• When using the tool in sequential action, do not actuate the tool unless

the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece.

Bump Action iii (Fig. K)

• When using the tool in bump action, be careful of unintentional double fires

resulting from tool recoil. Unwanted fas-

teners may be driven if the contact trip is

allowed to accidentally re-contact the work surface.

TO AVOID DOUBLE FIRES:

• Do not engage the tool against the work surface with a strong force.

• Allow the tool to recoil fully after

each actuation.

• Use sequential action trigger.

• When "'bump" actuating the finish nailer, always keep tool in control Inaccurate

placement of tool can result in misdirected discharge of a fastener.

• Do notdrive nails onto the heads of other

fasteners. Strong recoil, jammed fasteners,

or ricocheted nails may result. (Fig. L)

• Be aware of material thickness when

using nailer. A protruding nail may cause

injury.

• DEPTH ADJUSTMENT: To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation

when attempting to adjust depth,

ALWAYS;

• Remove battery pack.

• Engage contact trip lock-off (Fig. M).

• Avoid contact with trigger during adjust-

ments

• Do not drive nails blindly into walls,

floors or other work areas. Fasteners driv-

en into five electrical wires, plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in

injury. (Fig. N)

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and

use common sense when operating a

power tool Do not use tool while tired or

under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or

medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

Important Safety Instructions for Battery Packs

Your tool uses a DEWALT battery pack. When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include catalog number and voltage:

Extended Run-Time battery packs deliver more run-time than stan-

dard battery packs. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.

NOTE: Your tool will accept either standard or Extended Run Time

battery packs. However, be sure to select proper voltage. Batteries slowly lose their charge when they are not on the charger, the best place to keep your battery is on the charger at all times. The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions below.

Then follow charging procedures outlined.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not incinerate the batterypack even if it is severely dam-

aged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can explode

in a fire.

• A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This

uidis25-35%solutionofpotassiumhydroxide.)

• Charge the battery packs only in DEWALT chargers.

• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.

• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in loca-

tions where the temperature may reach or exceed

105°F (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in

summer).

_DANGER: Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Electric

shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to service center for recycling.

NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever the battery is out of

the tool or charger. Remove cap before placing

battery in charger or tool. _, WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or

carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not

place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit

boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. Transporting batteries can possibly

cause fires ff the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins,

hand tools and the like. The US Department of

Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actu-

ally prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on air-

planes (i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage)

UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the

battery terminals are protected and weft insulated from mate- rials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

_CAUTION: Battery pack must be securely attached to tool If battery pack is detached, personal injury may result.

The RBRC TM Seal

The RBRC TM (Rechargeable Battery Recycling

Corporation) Seal on the nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries (or battery

packs) indicate that the costs to recycle these batteries (or battery packs) at the end of their useful life have already been paid by DEWALT. In some

areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste

stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.

RBRC TM in cooperation with DEWALT and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and

Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries. Help protect our environ-

ment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries to an

authorized DEWALT service center or to your local retailer for

recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center

for information on where to drop off the spent battery.

RecyclingCorporation.

Important Safety Instructions for Battery Chargers

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains

important safety instructions for battery chargers.

• Before using charger, read aft instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and product using bat-

tery pack.

ADANGER: Electrocution hazard. 120 volts are present at charging terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects.

A WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. ACAUTION: Bum hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DEWALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage. ACAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger

plugged in to the power supply, the exposed charging con-

tacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not lim- ited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic

particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always

unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.

• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manuaL The

charger and battery pack are specifically designed to

work together.

• These chargers are not intended for any uses other

than charging DEWALT rechargeable batteries. Any

other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting

charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord.

• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to

damage or stress.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely

necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The small-

er the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up

the total length, be sure each individual extension con- tains at least the minimum wire size.

• Do notplace any object on top of charger orplace the charger on a soft surface that might block the venti-

lation slots and result in excessive internal heat.

Place the charger in a position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.

• Do not operate charger with damaged cord orplug i have them replaced immediately.

• Do not operate charger ff it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service center.

• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is required.

Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.

• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before

attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of

electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.

• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.

• The charger is designed to operate on standard

household electrical power (120 Volts). Do not

attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not

apply to the vehicular charger.

Using Automatic Tune-Up TM Mode

The automatic Tune-Up TM Mode equalizes or balances the

individual cells in the battery pack allowing it to function at peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or after 10 charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack no longer delivers the same amount of work. To use the auto-

matic Tune-Up TM, place the battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours. The charger will cycle through the

following modes.

1. The red light will blink continuously indicating that the 1- hour charge cycle has started.

2. When the 1-hour charge cycle is complete, the light will stay on continuously and will no longer blink. This indi- cates that the pack is fully charged and can be used at

this time.

3. If the pack is left in the charger after the initial 1-hour charge, the charger will begin the Automatic Tune-Up

mode. This mode continues up to 8 hours or until the individual cells in the battery pack are equalized. The battery pack is ready for use and can be removed at any

time during the Tune-Up mode.

Charge Indicators

Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise with battery packs. Problems are indicated by the

red light flashing at a fast rate. Ifthis occurs, re-insert battery pack into the charger. If the problem persists, try a different

battery pack to determine if the charger is OK. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective

and should be returned to a service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same

trouble indication as the original, have the charger tested at

an authorized service center.

1HOUR CHARGER

HOT/COLD PACK DELAY Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when

the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending charging until the bat-

tery has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging mode. This fea-

ture ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short while in the Hot Pack Delay mode.

PROBLEM POWER LINE Some chargers have a Problem Power Line indicator. When

the charger is used with some portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger

may temporarily suspend operation, flashing the red light with two fast blinks followed by a pause. This indicates

the power source is out of limits. LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the

red light glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the bat- tery pack fresh and fully charged.

NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the battery pack has not been kept on

maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged before use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in

a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source. WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Chargers can also detect a weak battery. Such batteries are still usable but should not

be expected to perform as much work. In such cases, about

10 seconds after battery insertion, the charger will beep

rapidly 8 times to indicate a weak battery condition. The charger will then go on to charge the battery to the highest

capacity possible.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained ifthe battery pack is charged when the air temperature is

between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F

(+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important

and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and

does not indicate a problem.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly: a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or

other appliance

b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light

switch which turns power off when you turn out the

lights.

c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where

the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18 ° - 24°C).

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery

pack and charger to your local service center.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done

previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also

charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with

no adverse affect on the battery pack.

5. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside

the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign

materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities.

Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger

before attempting to clean.

6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.

_},WARNING: Shock hazard. Don't allow any liquid to get

inside charger.

_, CA UTION: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any

reason, ff the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.

Installing and Removing the Battery Pack

A CAUTION: Engage contact trip lock-off before removing

or installing battery.

FIG.3 FIG,

NOTE: Make sure your battery pack is fully charged. To install the battery pack into the tool handle, align the

base of the tool with the notch inside the tool's handle and slide the battery pack firmly into the handle until you hear the

lock snap into place. To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the

release buttons (M) and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool handle. Insert it into the charger as described in the charger manual (Fig. 4).

1. Flip the switch located on the body of the tool just between the trigger

and magazine to the left, as shown in Figure 6.

2. Fully depress nosepiece against

the work surface (motor will start).

3. Pull trigger (nail will drive into work surface).

4. Release trigger.

5. Lift nosepiece off work surface.

6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for next application.

=&CAUTION: The contact trip needs to be depressed fol-

lowed by a trigger pull for each nail followed by a release of both the contact trip and trigger after each nail.

• DEWALT cordless nailers DC612, DC614, DC616, and DC618 are equipped with a bump/sequential selector

switch (Fig. 6).

BUMP ACTION ///

Bump action is intended for rapid nailing on flat, stationary surfaces.

When using bump action, two methods

are available: place actuation and bump actuation.

Flip the switch located on the body of the

tool just between the trigger and magazine to the right as shown in Figure 7. To operate the tool using the PLACE ACTUATION

method: i_ CAUTION: A nail will fire each time the trigger is

depressed as long as the contact trip remains depressed.

1. Depress the contact trip against the work surface.

2. Depress the trigger.

To operate the tool using the BUMP ACTUATION

method:

1. Depress the trigger.

2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long as the trigger is depressed, the tool will fire a nail every

time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user to

drive multiple nails in sequence.

i_ CAUTION: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool is

not in use. Keep the contact trip lock-off engaged in the locked position when the tool is not in use.

Preparing the Tool

A CAUTION: NEVER spray or in any other way apply lubri- cants or cleaning solvents inside the tool This can seriously

affect the life and performance of the tooL

NOTE: The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Follow instructions outlined (see Charging Procedures).

1. Read the Safety Instruction section of this manual.

2. Wear eye and ear protection.

3. Ensure magazine is empty of all fasteners.

4. Check for smooth and proper operation of contact trip and pusher assemblies. Do not use tool if either assem- bly is not functioning properly. NEVER use a tool that has

the contact trip restrained in the actuated position.

5. Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others.

6. Insert fully charged battery pack.

Using the Contact Trip Lock-off

Fig. 8, 9)

WARNING: Always wear eye and

ear protection when operating tool

Each DEWALT nailer is equipped with a

contact trip lock-off (B) which when pulled downward with the lock symbol

showing as shown, prevents the tool from firing a nail. When the contact trip lock-off is folded in as shown, the tool will be fully operational. The contact trip lock- off should always be locked off when-

ever any adjustments are made or when tool is not in immediate use.

NOTE: Tools equipped with selective

actuation, when in bump fire mode will allow the motor to start upon trigger pull. This is normal oper-

ation. The contact trip lock-off constrains the contact trip from discharging a nail.

Loading the Tool

_, CAUTION: Keep tool pointed in a safe direction when loading nails.

_, CAUTION: Never load nails with the contact trip or trigger activated.

CAUTION: Always remove battery pack before loading or

unloading nails.

LOAD AND DRAW METHOD (FIG. 1)

1. Insert fasteners into the rear of the magazine (G).

2. Pull pusher (H) back until the nail follower falls behind

the nails.

3. Release the pusher.

LOCK AND LOAD METHOD

ik CAUTION: Keep fingers clear of pusher to prevent injury.

A CAUTION: The contact trip lock-off should always be

locked off whenever any adjustments are made or when tool is not in use.

1. Pull pusher back until it locks.

2. Insert fasteners into the rear of the magazine.

3. Push forward on the pusher until it releases and slides forward.

UNLOADING THE TOOL i_ CAUTION: The contact trip lock-off should always be

locked off whenever any adjustments are made or when tool is not in use.

1. Pull pusher back until it locks.

2. Tip the tool up until the nails slide freely out the back of the magazine

3. Open the jam clear door on the nosepiece to verify there

are no nails remaining.

Adjusting Depth (Fig. 10)

The depth that the fastener is driven can be adjusted using the depth adjustment wheel (C) on the side of the tool.

WARNING: To reduce risk of serious injury from acci-

dental actuation when attempting to adjust depth,

ALWAYS:

• Remove battery pack.

• Engage contact trip lock-off.

• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments.

1. To drive the nail shallower, rotate the depth adjustment wheel (C) counterclockwise. There are six depth settings,

1 being the shallowest and 6 being the deepest.

2. To sink a nail deeper, rotate the depth adjustment wheel (C) clockwise.

FIG. 10

Headlights (Fig. 10)

There is a headlight (D) located on each side of the nailer.

Headlights turn on upon battery insertion, activation of the

trigger, or depressing the contact trip. The lights will automat-

ically shut off after 10 seconds unless tool remains in use. NOTE: These headlights are for lighting the immediate work

surface and are not intended to be used as flashlights.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: The headlights will flash four

consecutive times and then shut down to indicate low battery.
