NOTE: The recharging time may vary according
to the ambient temperature.
4. Disconnect battery charger from the
receptacle.
CAUTION
Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by
pulling on the cord.
Make sure to grasp the plug when removing
from receptacle to avoid damaging cord.
5. Remove the battery from the battery charger.
Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull
out the battery from the battery charger.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
Recharge the batteries before they become
completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool
becomes weaker, stop using the tool and
recharge its battery. If you continue to use
the tool and exhaust the electric current, the
battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot
immediately after use. If such a battery is
recharged immediately after use, its internal
chemical substance will deteriorate, and the
battery life will be shortened. Leave the
battery and recharge it after it has cooled for
a while.
CAUTION
● When the battery charger has been
continuously used, the battery charger will
be heated, thus constituting the cause of the
failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next
charging.
Li-ion BATTERY

60 min.
● If the battery is recharged when it is warm
due to battery use or exposure to sunlight,
the pilot lamp may light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a
case, let the battery cool before charging.
● If the battery charger does not work while
the battery is mounted correctly, it is
probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized
Service Center.
●
When the pilot lamp flickers rapidly in red
(at 0.2–second intervals), check for and take
out any foreign objects in the charger's
battery installation hole. If there are no
foreign objects, it is probable that the battery
or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your
authorized Service Center.

BEFORE USE

Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of
debris and clutter.
Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure
that lighting and ventilation is adequate.
