Storage
8.8.1
Temporary storage
•
Store the tool and the battery pack in a dry and well-ventilated dust-free area.
•
Fasten the tool so it can not fall over to prevent oil leaking.
•
Place the blade tips over each other to prevent injury. Do not fully close the spreading arms / blades
so that the tool can be stored without pressure.
•
Check that the on/off switch is OFF.
•
Apply a thin coat of preservative oil to the external steel parts.
8.8.2
Long-term storage
For long-term storage, carry out the same actions as for temporary storage, as well as the following
additional actions:
•
Remove the battery pack from the tool.
•
Always store the battery packs in a dry and cool area. Temperatures above 45 °C (113 °F) can have
a negative affect on the life cycle of the battery packs.
WARNING
Avoid short-circuiting the battery pack. Make sure the connections do not come in contact
with metal objects or water. Never try to open a battery pack.
CAUTION
If not removed from the tool, a fully charged battery pack will discharge in 3 months.
CAUTION
If the battery pack is removed from the tool and is not being recharged, it will slowly loose its
energy. Make sure that the battery pack is recharged at least once every year.
