... 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 following chart. 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.
