○ Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable
battery.
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries
are as shown in the table below, and batteries
that have become hot should be cooled for a
while before being recharged.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new
batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substances of new
batteries and batteries that have not been
used for an extended period is not activated,
the electric discharge might be low when using
them for the fi rst and second times. This is
a temporary phenomenon, and normal time
required for recharging will be restored by
recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.
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 for a while
and recharge it after it has cooled.
CAUTION
● When
the
continuously used, the battery charger
will be heated, thus constituting the cause
of failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 15 minutes rest until the
next charging.
● If the battery is recharged when it is warm
the
due to battery use or exposure to sunlight,
the pilot lamp may not light.
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.
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.
