so that
the plus and minus terminals on the bat-
tery cartridge are on the same sides
as their
respective markings on the fast charger.

see that the charging light comes
on. When
it goes out, you may removethe
fully charged battery cartridge.
After charging, unplug the charger from
the power source.
CAUTION
:
*Your new battery cartridge is not charged. You will need to charge it before use.
If you try to charge a cartridge from a just-operated tool, sometimes the charging light
will not come on. If this occurs,
let the cartridge cool off for a while. Then re-insert it
and try to charge it once more.
When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used
for
a long period, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does
not indicate
a problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging
it completely a couple of times.
If you wish to charge two battery cartridges, allow 15 minutes betweenchargings on the
fast charger.

blades (both
I
sides) with a stiff brush. Then wipe the
blades with
a cloth and coat them with
