NOTE
Use a battery only when it has been fully charged.
This ensures that maximum battery capacity is avail-
able. Change to the second battery as soon as a
drop in performance is noticed. Recharge the battery
immediately so that it is ready for reuse.
Battery performance drops at low temperatures. For
optimum results it is recommended that the items to
be used are at room temperature before work begins.
The battery must be kept warm, i.e. within its normal
operating temperature range, when working outdoors
in low temperatures.
