CAUTION :
Your new battery cartridge i s not charged. You will need to change
it
before use.
If you try to charge
a
cartridge from a just-operated tool, sometimes the charging light
will not come on. I f this occurs, let the cartridge cool off for a while. Then re-insert it
and try to charge
it
once more.
When you charge
a
new battery cartridge or
a
battery cartridge which has not been used
for a long period, it may not accept a full charge. This i s a normal condition and does
not indicate a problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge
fully
after discharging i t
almost completely a couple of times.
* I f you wish to charge two battery cartridges, allow 15 minutes between chargings on
the fast charger.
