How to make the batteries perform longer.
○
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.
○
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:
○
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).
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before
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 connector. If there are no
foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it
to your authorized Service Center.
