power supply (danger of deep discharg-
ing).
- A new battery pack or a battery pack not
used for a longer period of time reaches
it full capacity after about 5 charging and
discharging cycles.
- Battery packs should, before charging, be
fully discharged if possible.
Continuous starting of the charging process
shortens the lifespan of the batteries.
- A considerably reduced time of operation
per charging shows that the battery pack is
used up an should be replaced by a new one.
- NiCd battery packs that are not used for
longer periods should be stored in a dis-
charged state.
Special instructions for NiMH battery
packs:
- The output of NiMH battery packs drops
noticeably at ambient temperatures below
0° C or above 45° C.
- Do not overload the tool (do not load the
tool excessively so that it comes to a stand-
still).
- Even if NiMH battery packs are not used,
recharge them approx. every 4 months so
that they retain their full capacity.
- NiMH battery packs should be left for 60
min. in the charger after every 10th fast
charge to compensate any differences in
capacity between the cells.
- Because NiMH battery packs discharge
auto-matically, store them preferably at
ambient temperatures of between 0° C and
25° C.
7 Recycling battery packs
Never throw spent battery packs
into domestic waste containers!
Return spent or defective battery packs
to dealers, the Festool after-sales service
department or approved waste disposal fa-
cilities. This ensures that they are correctly
recycled.
