1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instructions
and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2)
battery, and (3) appliance using battery.
. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
. If operating time has become excessively shorter,
stop operating immediately. It may result in a risk of
overheating, possible burns and even an explosion.
. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with
clear water and seek medical attention right away. It
may result in loss of your eyesight.
. Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any conductive
material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container with
other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a breakdown.
. Do not store the appliance and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or exceed
50°C (122°F).
. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it is
severely damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery cartridge can explode in a fire.

battery.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop appliance operation and charge the
battery cartridge when you notice less appliance
power.
. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
. Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at
10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot battery cartridge
cool down before charging it.
. Charge the battery cartridge once in every six months
if you do not use it for a long period of time.
