20. TO ENSURE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE,
FULLY CHARGE THE BATTERY BEFORE
USE.
A new battery pack or one used for extended
periods may have self-discharged and thus
may need recharging to restore it to a fully
charged condition. Before operating the tool,
make sure to charge the battery pack with
the designated MAX battery charger JC925.
21. BATTERY CHARGING PRECAUTION.
•
Use only specified Battery charger and
Battery Pack.
Failure to do so may cause the Battery to
overheat or catch fire leading to serious
injury.
•
Charge the Battery at the specified
voltage.
Failure to do so may result in overheating,
or inadequate charging possibly causing
serious injury.
•
Never use a transformer.
•
Never connect the Battery charger to
an engine generator direct-current
power supply.
The charger will break down or be dam-
aged from burning.
•
Avoid charging the Battery pack in the
rain, in a damp place, or where water is
splashing.
Charging a damp or wet Battery pack will
cause an electric shock or a short circuit
that may lead to damage from burning
and even the tool catching on fire.
•
Do not touch the power cord or plug
with a wet hand or glove.
This may cause injury from electric shock.
•
Do not put a cloth or any other cover
on the Battery charger while the Bat-
tery pack is being charged.
This will cause overheating and damage
from burning, or the Charger may even
catch fire.
•
Keep the Battery pack and Battery
charger away from heat and flames.
•
Do not charge the Battery pack near
flammable materials.
•
Charge the Battery pack in a well ven-
tilated place.
Avoid charging the Battery pack where it
will be in direct sunlight.
•
Charge the Battery pack in a tempera-
ture range of 5°C (41°F) to 40°C
(104°F).
•
Avoid continual use of the Battery
charger.
Rest the Charger for 15 minutes between
charges to avoid functional trouble with
the unit.
•
Any objects that block the ventilation
holes or Battery pack receptacle may
cause electric shock or functional
troubles.
Operate the charger free of dust or other
foreign materials.
•
Handle the power cord carefully.
Do not carry the Battery charger by its
power cord. Do not use the power cord to
disconnect it from a wall socket; this will
damage the cord and break the wires or
cause a short circuit. Do not let the power
cord contact sharp edged tools, hot mate-
rials, oil, or grease. A damaged cord must
be repaired or replaced.
•
Do not charge non rechargeable bat-
teries with this charger.
•
This charger is not intended for use by
children or disabled persons without
supervisor.
•
Children should be supervised to en-
sure that they do not play with the
charger.
•
Put a pack cap on the terminal of the
Battery pack.
When the Battery pack is not in use, put a
pack cap on its terminal to prevent short
circuits. Keep it away from other metal ob-
jects, such as clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that
can make a connection from one terminal
to another.
•
Do not leave or store the tool in a vehi-
cle or in direct sunlight during sum-
mer. Leaving the tool in high
temperature conditions may cause the
battery pack to deteriorate.
•
Do not store a fully discharged battery
pack. If a fully discharged battery pack
is removed from the system and left for
a long period of time, it may become
damaged. Recharge the battery imme-
diately when it has been discharged.
