4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO
NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the
charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack
whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. 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. Always unplug the charger from the power
supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug
charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING:
Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid to get inside
charger. Electric shock may result.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason.
If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to
a service center for recycling.
Storage recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from
direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
