ion battery pack following use without charging it. When charging the battery pack, conrm

that the terminals on the battery charger are free of foreign substances such as dust and water etc. Clean the terminals before charging the battery pack if any foreign substances are found on the terminals. The life of the battery pack terminals may

be affected by foreign substances such as dust and water etc. during operation. When battery pack is not in use, keep it

away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together

may cause sparks, burns or a re. When operating the battery pack, make

sure the work place is well ventilated. Battery Pack Life The rechargeable batteries have a limited life. If the operation time becomes extremely short after recharging, replace the battery pack with a new one.

when the switch is switched on, the main unit will not rotate normally. Connect the battery pack into the body of the tool until the red or yellow label disappears. [Battery Charger] Charging CAUTION: The charger is designed to operate on

standard domestic electrical power only as stated in the rating plate. Charge only on the voltage indicated on the rating plate of unit. e.g.230v / 50Hz. Do not attempt to use it on any other

voltage or frequency rating! Do not use power source from an engine

generator. If the temperature of the battery pack

falls approximately below −10°C (14°F), charging will automatically stop to prevent degradation of the battery. The ambient temperature range is

between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool may fail to function properly. When charging a cool battery pack

(below 0°C (32°F)) in a warm place, leave the battery pack at the place and wait for more than one hour to warm up the battery to the level of the ambient temperature. Cool down the charger when charging

more than two battery packs consecutively. Do not insert your ngers into contact

hole, when holding charger or any other occasions. CAUTION: To prevent the risk of re or damage to the battery charger. Do not cover vent holes on the charger
