tool is used.
WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measures
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-

account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time).

tion right away. It may result in loss of your
eyesight.

ductive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a con-
tainer with other metal objects such as

Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery car-
tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-
perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use
it for a long period (more than six months).
