8. Never use or charge the battery if you suspect
that it has been more than 12 months since
the last time it was charged. There is a high
probability that the battery pack has already
suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive
discharge).
9. Charging the battery at a temperature below
41°F (5°C) will cause chemical damage to the
cells and may cause a fire.
10. Do not use battery that have been exposed
to heat during the charging process, as the
battery cells may have suffered dangerous
damage.
11. Do not use batteries that have suffered
curvature or deformation during the charging
process or those that exhibit other atypical
symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack
(maximum recommended depth of discharge
is 80%). A complete discharge of the battery
pack will lead to premature aging of the
battery cells.
Protection from environmental influences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety
goggles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery
charger from moisture and rain. Moisture and
rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery
charger near vapors and flammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools
only in dry conditions and at an ambient
temperature of 41ºF – 105°F (5°C – 40.5°C).
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places
where the temperature is liable to reach over
105°F (40.5°C). In particular, do not leave the
battery charger in a car that is parked in the
sunshine.
6. Protect the battery from overheating.
Overloads, overcharging and exposure to
direct sunlight will result in overheating and
cell damage. Never charge or work with
battery that have been overheated – replace
it immediately, if possible.
7. Store the charger and your cordless tool only
in dry locations with an ambient temperature
of 41ºF – 105°F (5°C – 40.5°C). Store your
lithium-ion battery pack in a cool, dry place
at a temperature of 77°F (25°C). Protect the
battery pack, charger and cordless tool from
humidity and direct sunlight. Only place fully
charged battery in storage (charged to at least
40%).
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from
freezing. Battery pack that was stored below
32°F (0°C) for more than 60 minutes must be
discarded.
9. When handling batteries, be wary of
electrostatic charge. Electrostatic discharges
can damage the electronic protection system
and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic
charging and never touch the battery poles.
