Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1.
Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-
tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2.
Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a break-
down.
7.
Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50°C (122°F).
8.
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.
9.
Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
3.
Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot bat-
tery cartridge cool down before charging it.

tridge when you do not use it for more than six
