BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND
PREPARATION FOR RECYCLING
To preserve our natural resources, please
recycle or dispose of batteries properly.
This product contains nickel-cadmium
batteries. Never dispose of nickel-cadmium
batteries in your normal household
garbage or in landfill sites as they will add
to the pollution of the environment.
Consult your local waste authority for
information regarding available recycling
and disposal options.
WARNING:
Upon removal of the
battery pack, cover the terminals of the
battery pack with electrical or heavy-
duty adhesive tape.
Never touch both
terminals with metal objects or body
parts as a short circuit may result. Keep
away from children. Do not attempt to
destroy or disassemble battery pack or
remove any of its components. Nickel-
cadmium batteries must be recycled or
disposed of properly. Failure to comply
with these warnings could result in fire
and serious injury.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
For power, long operational life and light
weight your tool is powered by a Nickel-
cadmium battery pack.
Nickel-cadmium batteries are powerful,
rugged and will provide hundreds of
charge/discharge cycles if properly
maintained and periodically ‘exercised’.
Exercising is required to recover most of
the capacity lost during usage. This
process reduces the size of the active
cadmium hydroxide crystals on the anode,
to expose all surface area and restore
capacity.
How to care for your Nickel-cadmium
battery
1. Never allow a battery to freeze.
2. Never charge a battery that has been
stored at or below 5° or above 40° C.
Allow it to sit at room temperature for
at least 30 minutes before charging.
3. Do not charge a battery if it feels
warm to the touch.
4. Never charge a battery after a short
use. Let it sit until it is needed again.
5. Never charge the battery until the tool
in which it is being used can not
produce useful work.
6. Do not leave a battery on the charger
after charging time has expired;
usually 3 to 5 hours. Your charger will
not damage the battery. However, the
heat it produces shortens the battery
operational life.
