Regarding electric discharge in case of new
batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new
batteries and batteries that have not been
used for an extended period is not activated,
the electric discharge might be low when
using them the
fi
rst and second time. This is
a temporary phenomenon, and normal time
required for recharging will be restored by
recharging the batteries 2–3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become
completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool
becomes weaker, stop using the tool and
recharge its battery. 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 charged while it is heated
because it has been left for a long time
in a location subject to direct sunlight or
because the battery has just been used,
the charge indicator lamp of the charger
lights for 0.3 seconds, does not light for
0.3 seconds (o
ff
for 0.3 seconds). In such
a case,
fi
rst let the battery cool, then start
charging.
●
When the charge indicator lamp
fl
ickers (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.
