life dramatically. The driver includes a battery protection feature designed to prevent excessive discharging of the battery pack.
●●The battery protection feature activates immediately before the battery loses its charge, causing the battery low warning lamp to flash.
●●If you notice the battery low warning lamp flashing, charge the battery pack immediately.
●●If it is started with too little battery power remaining, the tool may stop operating without the battery low warning lamp flashing first. This indicates that there is too little battery power remaining to use the tool, and the battery pack should be charged before further use.
●●If the tool is subject to a sudden load during use that causes the motor to lock up, the overdischarge prevention sensor may be triggered, and the battery low warning lamp may flash. The lamp will stop flashing once you address the cause of the motor’s locking up and cycle the trigger.
●●The battery protection feature may activate when a high load is abruptly placed on the motor, even if ample battery charge remains. In this case, both the battery low warning lamp and LED light will flash (EY74A1).
●●If both the battery low warning lamp and LED light flash, reduce the force with which you are pushing on the driver or, if using a drill driver, adjust the speed switch to a lower setting (EY74A1).
