CAUTION ON LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips
with the protection function to stop the output.
In the cases of 1 to 3 described below, when using
this product, even if you are pulling the switch, the
motor may stop. This is not the trouble but the result
of protection function.
1. When the battery power remaining runs out,
the motor stops.
In such case, charge it up immediately.
2. If the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop.
In this case, release the switch of tool and
eliminate causes of overloading. After that, you
can use it again.
3. If the battery is overheated under overload
work, the battery power may stop.
In this case, stop using the battery and let the
battery cool. After that, you can use it again.
Furthermore, please heed the following warning and
caution.
WARNING
In order to prevent any battery leakage, heat
generation, smoke emission, explosion and ignition
beforehand, please be sure to heed the following
precautions.
1. Make sure that swarf and dust do not collect on
the battery.
○
During work make sure that swarf and dust do
not fall on the battery.
○
Make sure that any swarf and dust falling on
the power tool during work do not collect on the
battery.
○
Do not store an unused battery in a location
exposed to swarf and dust.
○
Before storing a battery, remove any swarf and
dust that may adhere to it and do not store it
together with metal parts (screws, nails, etc.).
2. Do not pierce battery with a sharp object such
as a nail, strike with a hammer, step on, throw
or subject the battery to severe physical shock.
3. Do not use an apparently damaged or
deformed battery.
4. Do not use the battery in reverse polarity.
5. Do not connect directly to an electrical outlets
or car cigarette lighter sockets.
6. Do not use the battery for a purpose other than
those speci
fi
ed.
7. If the battery charging fails to complete even
when a speci
fi
ed recharging time has elapsed,
immediately stop further recharging.
8. Do not put or subject the battery to high
temperatures or high pressure such as into
a microwave oven, dryer, or high pressure
container.
9. Keep away from
fi
re immediately when leakage
or foul odor are detected.
10. Do not use in a location where strong static
electricity generates.
11. If there is battery leakage, foul odor, heat
generated, discolored or deformed, or in any
way appears abnormal during use, recharging
or storage, immediately remove it from the
equipment or battery charger, and stop use.
12. Do not immerse the battery or allow any
fl
uids
to
fl
ow inside. Conductive liquid ingress, such
as water, can cause damage resulting in
fi
re
or explosion. Store your battery in a cool, dry
place, away from combustible and
fl
ammable
items. Corrosive gas atmospheres must be
avoided.
CAUTION
1. If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your
eyes, do not rub your eyes and wash them well
with fresh clean water such as tap water and
contact a doctor immediately.
If left untreated, the liquid may cause eye-
problems.
2. If liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash
well with clean water such as tap water
immediately.
There is a possibility that this can cause skin
irritation.
3. If
you
fi
nd rust, foul odor, overheating, discolor,
deformation, and/or other irregularities when
using the battery for the
fi
rst time, do not use
and return it to your supplier or vendor.
WARNING
If an electrically conductive foreign object enters the
terminals of the lithium ion battery, a short-circuit
may occur resulting in the risk of
fi
re. Please observe
the following matters when storing the battery.
○
Do not place electrically conductive
cuttings, nails, steel wire, copper wire or
other wire in the storage case.
