come damaged. Recharge the battery im-
mediately when it has been discharged.
•
Do not leave the battery pack on the charg-
er. If the above is not observed, a weak cur-
rent will continue to flow and the battery
pack may become damaged. When re-
charging is complete, always remove the
battery pack from the charger.
BATTERY PACK BREAKDOWNS
If the following conditions occur, bring the Bat-
tery and Charger to your dealer.
•
The red charging lamp does not flash when the
charger plug is inserted into main power
source outlet (When the Battery pack is not in-
serted in the charger.)
•
Neither the red charging lamp nor the orange
standby lamp lights or flashes when the Bat-
tery pack is inserted in the charger.
•
The orange standby lamp does not change to
the red charging lamp even after more than 1
hour. (except at low temperatures)
•
The red charging lamp does not change from
constant to flashing light even after more than
90 minutes.
SERVICE LIFE OF BATTERY PACK
If any condition described below is observed, the
battery pack is at the end of its service life. Re-
place it with a new one.
•
Although the battery pack has been properly
charged (fully charged), a great drop in operat-
ing time has been noticed.
Charge the battery pack when the motor's ro-
tational speed slows down (the Capacity of
the battery pack is considered to be nearly run
out). Using the tool more will cause it to over-
discharge, resulting in a shortened service life
of the battery pack and also in functional trou-
ble of the tool's main body.
Do not use a battery pack when its service life
is finished.
This will cause functional trouble in the tool's
main body. Also charging a battery pack that
is out of service life will lead to functional trou-
ble in the battery charger.
RECYCLING A LI-ION BATTERY
The MAX battery pack uses a Li-ion battery, it
may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the
municipal waste system. Check with your local
solid waste officials for details in your area for re-
cycling options or proper disposal.
When disposing of the battery pack, make
sure to put a pack cap on its terminal (with in-
sulating tape securing it) to prevent short cir-
cuits.
