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 recharged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to
sunlight, the pilot lamp map light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before
charging.
○ When the pilot lamp fl ickers in red (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.
