important WarrantY inFormation:
the battery pack fitted to this cordless tool is considered to be a consumable item and its
ability to accept charge will reduce over time. We will warranty it against mechanical and
electrical defect for a period of one year - this does not cover fair wear and tear.
if the battery is not properly charged before first use, or regularly conditioned, its capacity
will diminish. under these circumstances we will not replace the battery pack even if it is
less than one year old.
WarninG!
Before charging this unit disconnect the output leads as they will remain
live whilst charging.
WarninG
never clamp the output leads from the unit to the carry handle as this
could result in a short circuit.
important!
only recharge PoWErstArts with the Ac charger provided.
the charger is automatic and does not require the user to monitor the progress of
the charge. furthermore, whenever the PoWErstArt is not in use it should be
connected to the charger, failure to do this will invalidate the warranty.
