BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
RIDGID 18 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with fea-
tures that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery
life. Under some operating conditions, these built-in fea-
tures 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 forc-
ing the tool.
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.
