Charge the battery cartridge before completely 

discharged. Always stop tool operation and 

charge the battery cartridge when you notice 

less tool power.

Never recharge a fully charged battery car-

tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery 

service life.

perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let 

a hot battery cartridge cool down before 

charging it.

4. 

Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use 

it for a long period (more than six months).
