Battery Charging Safety
•
Before attempting to charge the battery pack, thoroughly read all Safety Instructions.
•
The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs
that were easily done before.
•
The battery may become warm while charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
•
NOTE: After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery will attain full capacity.
•
Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures below 4ºC or above 40ºC (below 40ºF or above
104ºF
)
.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES:
•
After normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in about 4 hours. Allow the battery to cool
down before charging after using the saw. (
NOTE
: A hot battery placed in the charger will not charge)
•
DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below 40°F (4 °C) or above 104°F (40 °C). This is
important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack. Longest life and best performance can be
obtained if battery pack is charged when air temperature is about 75°F (24°C).
•
While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal condition and does not
indicate a problem.
•
If the battery pack does not charge properly
−
Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
−
Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the
lights.
−
Move charger and battery pack to a surrounding air temperature of 40°F (4°C) to 104°F (40°C)
−
If the receptacle and temperature are OK, and you do not get proper charging contact (DESA Power
Tools) service centre.
•
The battery pack need to be charged before first using and should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using this product with its
battery pack in a depleted condition. (
NOTE
: After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery will
attain full capacity.)
•
To prolong battery life, avoid leaving the battery pack on charger for extended periods of time (over 30 days
without use). Although overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce overall battery life.
•
The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times during normal usage. There is
no need to run the batteries down completely before recharging. Normal usage is the best method of
discharging and recharging the batteries.
