Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create the risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery pack may create the risk of injury or fire.
3. When (the) battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
and other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
4. Under extreme conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If accidental
contact occurs, flush with water.
Important safety instructions for the
battery cartridge
1. Before using the battery cartridge, read all
instructions and precautionary markings on
(1) the battery charger, (2) the battery, and (3)
product using the battery.
2. Do not disassemble the battery cartridge.
3. If operating time has become significantly
shorter than usual, stop operating immediately.
It may result in a risk of overheating, possible
burns and even an explosion.
4. 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.
5. Do not short-circuit the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any
conductive material.
(2) Avoid storing the battery cartridge in a
container with other metal objects such as
nails, coins, etc.

Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before it becomes
completely discharged. Always stop operation
and charge the battery cartridge when you
notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge within a room
temperature range of 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F).
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4. It is recommended that you charge the battery
cartridge before storing it for a long period
(more than six months).
