1.

Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-
tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using bat-
tery.

2.

Do not disassemble battery cartridge.

3.

If operating time has become excessively
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns
and even an explosion. 

4.

If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out
with clear water and seek medical attention right
away. It may result in loss of your eyesight. 

5.

Always cover the battery terminals with the bat-
tery cover when the battery cartridge is not
used.

6.

Do not short the battery cartridge:

(1)

Do not touch the terminals with any con-
ductive material.

(2)

Avoid storing battery cartridge in a con-
tainer with other metal objects such as
nails, coins, etc.

(3)

Do not expose battery cartridge to water or
rain.

A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a break-
down.

7.

Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50°C (122°F).

8.

Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it
is severely damaged or is completely worn out.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1.

Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-
tery 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 tempera-
ture at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot bat-
tery cartridge cool down before charging it.

4.

Charge the Nickel Metal Hydride battery car-
tridge when you do not use it for more than six
months.
