14

English

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

continuously 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 pilot lamp of the charger lights for

1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds

(oﬀ for 0.5 seconds).

The battery will not be recharged. In such a

case, let the battery cool before charging.

●
