Operation Information
• Warning- Do not use or charge this motor in hazardous locations where flammable vapors or ignitable dust occur.
• The battery pack is not fully charged in a brand new motor. Fully charge the battery before the first use.
• The recommended ambient temperature range for operating the motor is 40º F (4.5º C) to 105º F (40.5º C). Operating the
motor below 40º F (4.5º C) will result in reduced battery capacity.
• Never place metal objects in the motors charging port. A short circuit could occur allowing the motor’s battery pack to
generate excess heat, explode or ignite.
• The battery can be recharged at any state of battery discharge. It does not have to be completely discharged before charging
and does not suffer the “memory effect” found in other battery technologies.
• Long-term storage will not harm the battery pack provided it contains a partial charge. Under proper storage conditions
(approximately 68º F/20º C at approximately 30-50% of full charge), the motor can be stored for at least a year without
adverse effect.
• For best results, it is recommended that the motor be charged and used at least every three months.
• Clean only with a damp cloth.
Battery Disposal
• When the battery in the motor has reached the end of its life and no longer is capable of providing satisfactory
results it should be recycled where possible.
• Follow local regulations and ordinances for the disposal of batteries.
• The RBRC (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal indicates that the costs to recycle the battery pack at the end of
its useful life have already been paid for by Finish Thompson. RBRC in cooperation with Finish Thompson and other battery
users has established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent lithium ion batteries. The
battery pack will have to be removed from the motor before it can be recycled. See battery pack removal instructions for
detailed instructions. To learn more about RBRC, state regulations concerning recycling batteries and battery drop off locations
