CAUTIONS

Battery Packs

The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

1. To avoid hazards . . .

Terminals

 

.... do not burn.

 

.... do not short-circuit the terminals. When

transporting, make sure the provided battery

cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap

is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

.... do not modify or disassemble.

.... do not expose the battery to temperatures

exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may cause the

battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.

.... use only specified chargers.

 

2.To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .

.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

.... charge in an environment where temperatures are within the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical reaction type battery—cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.

.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.

.... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a long period time.

.... remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.

NOTES:

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature Range Specifications

Charging ............. 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) Operation ........... 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) Storage ............... –10°C to 30°C (14°F to 86°F)

Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C (68°F).

The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.
