MAINTENANCE
The batteries 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 jewellery,
could result in serious burns.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, remove the
battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged and
ready for use.
STORAGE
For battery storage longer than 30 days:
■ Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
27°C.
■ Store battery packs in a "charged" condition (minimum
of 30%-50% charged).
■ To charge the battery pack after a six months storage
period, it is recommended to discharge the battery
about 10% - 20% (by running it in a tool) and charge
afterwards to maximize the battery lifetime.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

waste. Please recycle where facilities exist.

heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy
or disassemble battery pack or remove any of its
