PRECAUTIONS FOR CORDLESS
RECIPROCATING SAW
1. Always charge the battery at a temperature of 10 –
40°C. A temperature of less than 10°C will result in
over charging which is dangerous. The battery cannot
be charged at a temperature higher than 40°C.
The most suitable temperature for charging is that
of 20 – 25°C.
2. Do not use the charger continuously.
When one charging is completed, leave the charger for
about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.
3. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
5. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery. Short-
circuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage
to the battery.
6. Do not dispose of the battery in fire.
If the battery is burnt, it may explode.
7. When cutting in wall, floor or ceiling, check for
buried electric power cord, etc.
8. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was
purchased as soon as the post-charging battery
life becomes too short for practical use. Do not
dispose of the exhausted battery.
9. Using an exhausted battery will damage the charger.
10. Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots
of the charger.
Inserting metal objects or inflammables into the
charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical
shock hazard or damaged charger.
