a) Use only devices recommended by the manufacturer to charge the
batteries.
Using an improper charger may ruin the battery.
b) Use the correct batteries in the power tools.
Using other batteries may result in injury and fire hazard.
c) If the battery is not used for an extended period, it should not remain
in the charger or in the tool.
If it is expected that the riveting tool will remain unused for more than 3
hours, the battery must be removed. Failure to do so entails the risk of
permanent battery damage.
d) For safety reasons, the lithium ion battery should not remain in an
active charging device for more than 36 hours.
After charging, remove the battery from the charger as soon as
possible.
e) An empty battery should not remain in the tool or in an unpowered
charging device for an extended period of time.
In both cases, the residual current flow may completely discharge
and ruin the battery.
f) If possible, recharge the lithium ion battery immediately after use and
do not store when empty.
If the battery is stored separately from the tool and the charger, it will
retain its charging capacity for a longer time.
(Maximum loss 5% per year)
g) Always transport the battery separately from the tool whenever possible.
This ensures that the tool is not accidentally switched on, thus preventing
the battery from discharging.
h) Do not expose the lithium ion battery to high temperatures
(120°F/50°C) or direct sunlight.
If the battery temperature exceeds 120°F/50°C during operation
(charging or discharging), it must be removed from the charger or
riveting/screwing tool immediately.
