How to make the batteries perform longer
Recharge the batteries before they become
completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool
becomes weaker, stop using the tool and
recharge its battery. If you continue to use the
tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery
may be damaged and its life will become
shorter.
Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately
after use. If such a battery is recharged
immediately after use, its internal chemical
substance will deteriorate, and the battery
life will be shortened. Leave the battery and
recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION
When the battery charger has been
continuously used, the battery charger will
be heated, thus constituting the cause of
the failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 15 minutes rest until the
next charging.
If the battery is charged while it is heated
because it has been left for a long time
in a location subject to direct sunlight or
because the battery has just been used,
the pilot lamp of the charger lights for 1
second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (o
for 0.5 seconds). In such a case, rst let
the battery cool, then start charging.
When the pilot lamp ickers (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any
foreign objects in the charger’s battery
installation hole. If there are no foreign
objects, it is probable that the battery or
charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your
authorized Service Center.
If the battery charger does not work while
the battery is mounted correctly, it is
probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized
Service Center.
BEFORE USE
Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of
debris and clutter.
Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure
that lighting and ventilation is adequate.
