Table 1
If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the
electric current, the battery may be damaged and
its life will become shorter.
(2) 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 continuosly
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
map light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case,
let the battery cool before charging.
When the pilot lamp flickers in red (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects
in the charger's battery installation hole. If there are
no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery
or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your
authorized Service Center.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Preparing and checking the work environment
Make sure that the work site meets all the conditions
laid forth in the precautions.
2. Checking the battery
Make sure that the battery is installed firmly. If it
is at all loose it could come off and cause an
accident.
3. Setting the forward/reverse switching button
(1) Push the forward/reverse switching button from the
right as shown in Fig. 5 (a). Cutting is possible.
