4.1
PRECAUTIONS FOR CUTTING TOOL
1. Select the appropriate materials to be cut.
WARNING
Cutting materials other than those specified will result
in severe tool damage and may cause personal injury.
2. Always cut the material at 90° to the blade. Trying to cut
at any other angle will cause the blades to spread apart
and possibly break.
3. Always point the tool away from other people.
4. If the tool is stored for an extended period at a
temperature of less than 25º F (-5º C), the tool should be
allowed to return to room temperature to ensure smooth
operation. Use the tool only after it has been at room
temperature for 1 hour.
5. Do not drop the tool. Dropping the tool may damage the
hydraulic circuit and cause malfunctions.
6. Keep the head and ram clean and free of debris. Solvents
can be used to clean the head but should not be used on
the plastic body. Use soap & water to clean the body.
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK
4.2
1. Do not short circuit the contacts or expose the battery to
water, oil or solvents.
2. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the battery or
dispose of in a fire.
3. Do not drop or otherwise abuse the battery.
4. Do not leave the battery in locations where it will be
exposed to a temperature greater than 104 degrees F (40
degrees C) for an extended period.
5. The battery has a limited life. When the capacity
becomes about 1/2 that of the original capacity, the
battery should be replaced.
6. If the battery is stored without being charged, natural
drainage will cause the power to be reduced. The battery
should be charged every 3 months if not in use regularly.
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE CHARGER
4.3
1. The LED lamp lights up green and remains lit when the
unit starts charging a battery. The indicator turns orange
when charging is completed.
2. This unit is for charging battery 144-BAT-LI only. Do not
use the charger for any other devices.
3. Allow battery cartridges to cool before charging. Allow at
least 15 minutes between charges when charging several
batteries in succession.
4. Charge batteries at an ambient temperature of 50-95
degrees F (10-35 degrees C). Charging time is
approximately 25 minutes for 80% capacity and 45
minutes for 100% capacity.
5. Never short circuit the output contacts.
6. Do not expose the charger to water, oil or solvents.
7. Do not disassemble, modify, drop or otherwise abuse
