(2) Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in the Table 2, and batteries that have become
hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged.

Temperatures at which the battery can be recharged
-5°C – 50°C
(3) Regarding recharging time
Table 3 shows the recharging time required according
to the type of battery.

NOTE: The recharging time may vary according to the
ambient temperature.
4. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle.
5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after
use, and then keep it.

2. Insert the battery into the charger.
Firmly insert the battery into the charger as shown in
Fig. 1.
3. Charging
When inserting a battery in the charger, the pilot lamp
will light up continuously in red.
When the battery becomes fully recharged, the
pilot lamp will blink in red (At 1-second intervals).
(See Table 1)
the
(1) Pilot lamp indication
The indications of the pilot lamp will be as shown in
Table 1, according to the condition of the charger or the
rechargeable battery.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new
batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance 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 the first and second time. 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.
(1) 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.
(2) 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
and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
Battery overheated. Unable
to charge. (Charging will
commence when battery
cools)
