BATTERIES
The battery pack for this flashlight is equipped with nickel-
cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from
each charging will depend on the type of work you are
doing.
The batteries in this battery pack have been designed to
provide maximum trouble free life. However, like all
batteries, they will eventually wear out.
DO NOT
disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the
batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially when
wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
■
Store and charge your battery pack in a cool area.
Temperatures above 100
° F or below 50 ° F will shorten
battery life.
■
Never store battery pack in a discharged condition.
Recharge battery pack if discharged.
■
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher
the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If
you store battery pack for long periods of time without
using it, recharge the batteries every month or two.
This practice will prolong battery life.
DO NOT abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage
tool as well as workpiece.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories
not recommended for use with this tool. Any such alteration
or modification is misuse and can result in a hazardous
condition leading to possible serious personal injury.
