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 tying time has been
noticed.
•
Do not 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 overdischarge, resulting in a shortened service life of the Battery pack and also in
functional trouble 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 trouble in the Charger.

collected, recycled or disposed of in an environmental-friendly manner.
•
Protect the battery against heat, also against continuous sun irradiation and fire. There is
danger of explosion.
