heavy duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or
disassemble battery pack or remove any of its
components. Also, never touch both terminals with metal
objects and/or body parts, as short circuit can result.

warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
■
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above 100
°
F or below 50
°
F will shorten
battery life.
■
Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge
them immediately after they are discharged.

All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the
temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If you
store your tool for long periods of time without using it,
recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice
will prolong battery.
