battery from the charger.
■ Do not store the battery pack on the tool or on the charger.

hot, allow it to cool down before charging.

If the lithium-ion battery is being stored for 30 days or longer, store the battery pack in a location where
the temperature does not exceed 80°F (26°C) and is free of moisture.

- Fully charge the battery back every six months.
- The exterior part of the battery pack may be cleaned with a cloth or soft non-metallic brush.

on the contacts. Wipe with a dry cloth. Do not use solvents, water, or place in wet conditions.
■ Always unplug the charger when the battery pack is not installed on the charger.
