Additional instructions for
work with the battery pack
▪
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a
low charge condition. You should charge the battery
pack fully before use.
WARNING:
If the battery pack is cracked or
damaged in any other way, do not insert it in the char-
ger. There is a danger of electric shock.
▪
Never attempt to open the battery for any reason. If
the plastic casing of the battery is broken or cracked,
submit the battery for recycling.
▪
Maximum durability and performance can be
achieved if the battery is stored and charged at ambi-
ent temperature 15ºC ÷ 25ºC. It is not recommended
to charge the battery at ambient temperatures below
+5ºC or above +40ºC.
▪
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 ventilated area
during charging.
▪
When the battery is defective, liquid can escape and
come into contact with adjacent components. Check
any parts concerned. Clean such parts or replace
them, if required.
▪
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 cooling the battery pack after usage in
hot weather, avoid using the charger or battery under
metal shed or caravan without thermal insulation.
▪
When battery is not in use, keep it away from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects which may cause short circuit between bat-
tery terminals. Shorting the battery terminals may
cause fire or explosion.
