IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS OP-
ERATOR'S MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT
SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALBION LI-ION BATTERY PACKS AND
THE ALBION LI-ION CHARGER.
2. BEFORE USING THE BATTERY PACK AND
CHARGER, READ THIS OPERATOR'S MAN-
UAL, YOUR TOOL OPERATOR'S MANUAL,
AND ALL LABELS ON THE BATTERY PACK,
CHARGER AND TOOL.
3. CAUTION - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY, CHARGE ALBION LITHIUM-ION
PACKS ONLY IN THEIR ALBION LITHIUM-
ION CHARGER. Other types of chargers may
cause personal injury or damage. Battery pack
and charger are not compatible NiCd systems.
Do not wire a battery pack to a power supply
plug or car cigarette lighter. Battery packs will
be permanently disabled or damaged.
4. USE ALBION LITHIUM-ION PACKS ONLY ON
COMPATIBLE ALBION LITHIUM-ION TOOLS.
Battery pack and charger are not compatible with
NiCd systems. Use with other tools may result in
a risk of fi re, electric shock or personal injury.
5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do
not charge battery pack in rain, snow, damp or
wet locations. Do not use battery pack or char-
ger in the presence of explosive atmospheres
(gaseous fumes, dust or fl ammable materials)
because sparks may be generated when insert-
ing or removing battery pack, possibly causing
fi re.
6. CHARGE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.
Do not block charger vents. Keep them clear to
allow proper ventilation. Do not allow smoking
or open fl ames near a charging battery pack.
Vented gases may explode.
7. MAINTAIN CHARGER CORD. When unplug-
ging charger, pull plug rather than cord to
reduce the risk of damage to the electrical
plug and cord. Never carry charger by its cord.
Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Make sure cord will not be stepped on, tripped
over or subjected to damage or stress. Do not
use charger with damaged cord or plug. Have
a damaged charger replaced immediately.
8. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS
IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Using the
wrong, damaged or improperly wired extension
cord could result in the risk of fi re and electrical
shock. If an extension cord must be used, plug
the charger into a properly wired 16 gauge or
larger extension cord with pins that are the
same number, size and shape as the pins on
the charger. Make sure that the extension cord
is in good electrical condition.
Failure to follow all
9. CHARGER IS RATED FOR 120 VOLT AC
ONLY. Charger must be plugged into an ap-
propriate receptacle.
10. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACHMENTS.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold
by the battery charger or battery pack manufac-
turer may result in a risk of fi re, electric shock
or personal injury.
11. UNPLUG CHARGER when not in use. Remove
battery packs from unplugged chargers.
12. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, always unplug charger before clean-
ing or maintenance. Use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
13. DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERY
PACKS. Battery packs may explode, causing
personal injury or damage. Toxic fumes and
materials are created when battery packs are
burned.
14. DO NOT CRUSH, DROP, OR DAMAGE battery
pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that
has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run
over, or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with
a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
15. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect reassembly
may result in the risk of electric shock, fi re or
exposure to battery chemicals. If it is damaged,
take it to a Albion service facility.
16. BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERIOUS
BURNS. Never allow contact with skin, eyes, or
mouth. If a damaged battery pack leaks battery
chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to
dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery fl uids,
wash with soap and water and rinse with vin-
egar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals,
immediately fl ush with water for 20 minutes and
seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of
contaminated clothing.
17. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. A battery pack will
short circuit if a metal object makes a connection
between the positive and negative contacts on
the battery pack. Do not place a battery pack
near anything that may cause a short circuit,
such as coins, keys or nails in your pocket. A
short circuited battery pack may cause fi re and
personal injury.
18. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHAR-
GER in a cool, dry place. Do not store battery
pack where temperatures may exceed 120°F
(50°C) such as in direct sunlight, a vehicle or
metal building during the summer.

Use the Fuel Gauge to determine the battery pack's
remaining run time. Press the Fuel Gauge button to
display the lights. The Fuel Gauge will light up for
2-3 seconds. When less than 10% of charge is left,
1 light on the fuel gauge will fl ash slowly.

NOTE: If the Fuel Gauge doesn't appear to be
working, place the battery pack on the charger and

charge as needed.
Compared to NiCd battery pack types, Albion
Lithium-Ion battery packs deliver fade-free power
for their entire run time. The tool will not experience
a slow, gradual loss of power as you work. To signal
the end of discharge, 1 light on the fuel gauge will
fl ash quickly for 2-3 seconds and the tool will not
run. Charge the battery pack.
NOTE: Immediately after using the battery pack,
the Fuel Gauge may display a lower charge than it
will if checked a few minutes later. The battery cells
"recover" some of their charge after resting.
Battery Pack Protection
To protect itself from damage and extend its life, the
battery pack's intelligent circuit monitors current draw
and temperature. In extremely high torque, binding,
stalling, and short circuit situations, the battery pack
will turn OFF the tool if the current draw becomes
too high. All the fuel gauge lights will fl ash. Release
the trigger and restart.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal tem-
perature of the battery could become too high. If
this happens, the fuel gauge lights will fl ash in an
alternating pattern and the tool will not run. Allow
the battery to cool down.
