Battery pack breakdowns
If the following conditions occur, bring the Battery and Charger to your dealer.
●
If the red charging lamp does not flash when the charger plug is inserted into an AC 230V main power
source outlet (When the battery pack is not inserted in the charger.)
●
If neither the red charging lamp nor the orange standby lamp lights or flashes when the battery pack is
inserted in the charger.
●
If the orange standby lamp does not change to the red charging lamp even for more than 1 hour.
●
If the red charging lamp does not change from constant to flashing light even after more than 30 minutes
have passed since starting charging. (Except during low temperature charging.)
Service Life of the Battery Pack
If any condition described below is observed, the battery pack is at the end of its service life. Replace it with a
new one.
●
Although the battery pack has been properly charged (fully charged), a great drop in hours of use has been
noticed.
Don’t charge the battery pack when this happens. If the motor’s rotational speed slows down, the
power of the battery pack is considered to be nearly depleted. Using the tool more will cause it to over
discharge, resulting in a shortened service life of the battery pack and also in functional trouble of the
tool’s main body.
Don’t 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 trouble in the battery charger.
Recycling a NiCad Battery
The MAX battery pack uses a NiCad 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 recycling options or proper
disposal.
When disposing of the battery pack, make sure to put a pack cap on its terminal (with insulating tape
securing it) to prevent short circuits.
Preventing the Battery Pack from Becoming Inactive
When the tool is purchased, or when it is not used for extended periods (more than two months), the battery
pack must be charged for 24 hours to reach top performance.
