MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury. Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged. Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool 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.

ENC005-1 Before using battery cartridge, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product 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: Installing or removing battery cartridge

(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 incinerate the battery cartridge even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.

(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50°C (122°F).
