battery is equipped to provide up to 500 shots on
a single charge.

BATTERY & CHARGING
3. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the tool battery is charged when the air temperature is
between 65°F and 75°F (18°-24°C). DO NOT charge the
tool battery in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C),
or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This will prevent serious
damage to the battery.
4. It is recommended to wait 15 minutes after charging
before using the tool to avoid the possibility of the tool
overheating and damaging the battery.
5. If the battery does not charge properly:
a) Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance.
b) Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch
which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
c) When charging the tool, move to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately
65°F —75°F (18° —24°C).
d) If charging problems persist, take the tool and charger
to your local service center.
6. The power tool should be recharged when it fails
to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use the tool
under these conditions in order to prevent damage to
the battery. Follow the charging procedure. You may
also charge a partially charged tool whenever you desire
with no adverse effect on the battery or battery memory.
7. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into
the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside
the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign
materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited
to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic
particles should be kept away from charger cavities.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean tool.
8. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any
other liquid.
