.... do not modify or disassemble.
.... use only specified chargers.
2.To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .
.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
.... avoid repeated charging without fully discharging.
.... charge in an environment where tempera- tures are within the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical reaction type
.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure
to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.
.... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.
.... 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

●Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C.
●The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.
