▪ The charger and battery pack may become
warm to touch while charging. This is a normal
condition, and does not indicate a problem.
▪ To prevent overheating, do not charge battery
packs in direct sunlight in hot weather or near
heat sources.
▪ Do not charge inside a box or container of any
kind. The battery must be placed in a well venti-
lated area during charging
▪ A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack
cells may occur under extreme usage or tem-
perature conditions. This does not indicate a
failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and
this leakage gets on your skin:
Wash quickly with soap and water.
Neutralise with a mild acid such as lemon juice
or vinegar.
If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes
and seek immediate medical attention.
(
medical note:
The liquid is 25-35% solution of
potassium hydroxide.)
▪ If the battery pack does not charge properly:
(1) Check current at receptacle by plugging in a
lamp or other appliance.
(2) Move charger and battery pack to a location
where the surrounding air temperature is ap-
proximately 65°F–75°F (18°C–24°C).
(3) If charging problems persist, take or send
the tool, battery pack and charger to your local
service centre.
▪ The battery pack should be recharged when it
fails to produce sufficient power on jobs, which
were easily done previously. DO NOT CON
-
TINUE to use under these conditions. Follow
the charging procedure.
▪ Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is
seriously damaged or can no longer hold a
charge. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
▪ To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after
use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack
in a warm environment such as in a metal shed,
or an uninsulated trailer.
CAUtIoN:
Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the plastic hous-
ing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return
to a service centre for recycling.

▪ Do not recharge battery after a short operation to
avoid decreasing operation time and battery ca-
pacity.
▪ Avoid conducting short charges. Make sure that
the battery is fully charged every time by allowing
the charger to complete its full charging cycle.
▪ When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
fire or explosion.
▪ Always unplug the charger when not in use and
store in a dry secure place.
▪ Do not charge battery packs and do not store the
charger in premises where the temperature may
drop under 32ºF (0ºC) or exceed 104°F (40°C).
bAttERy INDICAtoR
The battery state is indicated by three LEDs (4). To
activate the battery indicator feature first release
the tool trigger switch (5) in case it is pressed, e.d.

-
cate three levels of charge remaining in the bat-
