MAINTENANCE
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
■ Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures below 50°F or above 100°F will shorten
battery life.
■ Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge
them immediately after they are discharged.
■ All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the
temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If you
store your tool for long periods of time without using it,
recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice
will prolong battery life.

BATTERIES
The battery pack for your tool is equipped with nickel-
cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from
each charging will depend on the type of work you are doing.
The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide
maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they
will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack
and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these
batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could
result in a serious burn.
