(2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable
battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in
Table 2
, and batteries that have become
hot should be cooled for a while before being
recharged.
Table 2
Recharging ranges of batteries
(3) Regarding recharging time
Depending on the combination of the charger and
batteries, the charging time will become as shown in
Table 3
.
Table 3
Charging time (At 20°C)
NOTE:
The charging time may vary according to temperature
and power source voltage.
4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the
receptacle.
5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE:
After operation, pull out batteries from the charger
first, and then keep the batteries properly.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new
batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries
and batteries that have not been used for an extended
period is not activated, the electric discharge might
be low when using them the first and second time.
This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time
required for recharging will be restored by recharging
the batteries 2-3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely
exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery.
If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric
current, the battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,
and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery
and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION:
䡬
When the battery charger has been continuosly used,
the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting
the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next
charging.
䡬
If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to
battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp
map light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let
the battery cool before charging.
䡬
When the pilot lamp flickers in red (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects
in the charger’s battery installation hole. If there are
no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or
charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized
Service Center.
BEFORE USE
1. Preparing the Staples and Performing Safety
Inspections
WARNING
䡬
Do not use the product near flammable liquids or
gases.
䡬
Do not place the product near children or other non-
qualified people.
䡬
Run a full check to make sure that no screws are
loose.
䡬
Check to make sure that there are no damaged or
missing parts, or malfunctioning parts owing to rust,
etc.
Prepare staples that match the job at hand.
Refer to MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION and carry
out safety inspections without fail.
2. Trigger Lock Mechanism (Fig. 5)
WARNING
Make sure the trigger is locked when not firing staples.
This stapler has a lock mechanism to prevent the
staples from being fired.
Set the lock lever at the position to lock the trigger.
Slide the lock lever to the
position when the stapler
is to be used, and to the position when it is not in use.
3. Checking Push Lever Operations (Fig. 6)
WARNING
Always make sure the trigger is locked and the battery
removed from the power tool when checking push
lever operations.
Check to make sure the push lever slides smoothly
when operated.
Clean the sliding area on the push lever if it doesn’t
slide smoothly.
4. Handling the Staples
NOTE
䡬
Handle the staples carefully.
There are cases in which the joined staple strips may
be broken if they are dropped, and using them in this
state may result in defective staple loading, leading
to blank firing or staple jams. Do not use joined
staple strips that are broken.
䡬
Do not leave the staples outdoors or in direct sunlight
for long periods of time.
Failure to observe this may result in rusting or defects
in the joined staple strips. Use the staple packaging
or other materials for storage purposes.
5. Loading the Staples (Fig. 7)
WARNING
Lock the trigger and remove the battery from the
stapler when loading or removing staples.
