RELEASING AND INSERTING
BATTERY PACK

the battery release button and sliding pack
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES (NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES)
1. The battery pack accepts only about 80% of
its maximum capacity with its first few charge
cycles. However, after the first few charge
cycles, the battery will charge to full capacity.
2. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery temperature
is between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C).
3. A substantial drop in operating time per
charge may mean that the battery pack is
nearing the end of its life and should be
replaced.
4. If you anticipate long periods (i.e. a month
or more) of non-use of your tool, it is best to
run your tool down until it is fully discharged
before storing your battery pack. After a long
period of storage, the capacity at first recharge
will be lower. Normal capacity will be restored
