* The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light

will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery pack
has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will
turn off and the charger will resume the chargingprocedure.

The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack.
The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to light or by
displaying problem pack or charger blinkpattern.

NOTE: This could also mean a problem with acharger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery

pack to be tested at an authorised servicecentre.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too
cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending
charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the

Transporting the FLEXVOLTTM Battery

The
andTransport.

Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLTTM battery stands alone or is in
a

18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When
the FLEXVOLTTM battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries)
product, it will operate as a 54Vbattery.

Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLTTM
battery, the battery is in Transport mode. Keep the cap for
shipping.

When in Transport mode, strings
of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack
resulting in 3 batteries with a
lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1 battery with a
higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3 batteries
with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from
certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher
Watt hour batteries.

For example, the Transport
Wh rating might indicate
3x36 Wh, meaning 3
batteries of 36 Wh each.
The Use Wh rating might
indicate 108Wh (1batteryimplied).

Rechargeable Battery Pack

This long life battery pack must be recharged when it fails
to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done
before. At the end of its technical life, discard it with due care for
our environment:

• Run the battery pack down completely, then remove it from

thetool.

local recycling station. The collected battery packs will be
recycled or disposed ofproperly.

GLOSSARY

Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops
when accessory is used. When the tank pressure drops to a
certain low level the motor will restart automatically. The low
pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called

cut-inpressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and

begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It
builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically
shuts off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher than
its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is
called cut-outpressure.

Duty Cycle: This air compressor pump is capable of running
continuously. However, to prolong the life of your air
compressor, it is recommended that a 50%–75% average duty
cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should
not run more than 30–45 minutes in any givenhour.
