1. Charge the battery before completely dis-

charged. Always stop tool/machine operation and charge the battery when you notice less tool power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery with room temperature at

10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot battery cool down before charging it.

4. Charge the battery if you do not use it for a

long period (more than six months).
