How to make the batteries perform longer.
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.
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.
CAUTION:
●
When the battery charger has been continuously
used, the battery charger will be heated, thus
constituting the cause of the failures. Once the

charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest
until the next charging.
●
If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to
battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp
may not light.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case,
let the battery cool before charging.
●
If the battery charger does not work while the
battery is mounted correctly, it is probable that
the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it
to your authorized Service Center.
BEFORE USE
Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris
