Trickle charge (Maintenance charge)
If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger to prevent spontaneous discharging after
full charge, the charger will switch into its "trickle charge (maintenance charge)"
mode
and keep the battery cartridge fresh and fully charged.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1.
Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool
power
2.
Never recharge
a
fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3.
Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at
10°C
-
40°C (50°F
-
104°F)
Let
a
hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
Adjusting shoe
When the blade loses its cutting efficiency
in orle place along its cutting edge, reposi-
tion the shoe to unitize
a
sharp, unused por-
tion of its cutting edge. This will help to
lengthen the life of the blade. To reposition
the shoe, loosen the lever and slide the
shoe forward or back to the desired posi-
tion. Then tighten the lever to firmly secure
the shoe.
