Cautions
• If the temperature of the battery pack
falls approximately
(14°F), charging will automatically
stop to prevent degradation of the
battery.
• The ambient temperature range is
between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
If the battery pack is used when the
battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F),
the tool may fail to function properly.
• When charging a cool battery pack
(below 0°C (32°F)) in a warm place,
leave the battery pack at the place and
wait for more than one hour to warm
up the battery to the level of the am-
bient temperature.
