Battery Charging Precautions

Charger Inspection

4.3 Charger Inspection

CAUTION: Before using, inspect the charger and correct any problems. Set up the charger according to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from electric shock, fire and other causes, and to prevent tool damage.

1)Make sure the charger is unplugged. Inspect the power cord and charger for damage or modifications, or broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding parts. If any problems are found, do not use the charger until the parts have been repaired or replaced.

2)Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the tool especially on the buttons. This helps to prevent the tool from slipping from your hands and allows proper ventilation.

3)Check that the warning label on the charger is intact and readable.

4)Select an appropriate location for the charger before using. Check the following:

The charger must be between 41°F (5°C) and 113°F (45°C) for charging. If the temperature goes below or exceeds this range at any point during charging, the operation will be suspended until brought back to the correct temperature range.

Inspect that the plug fits correctly into the desired outlet.

The charger needs a clearance of at least 4" (10 cm) on all sides to maintain a proper operating temperature.

4.4Battery Charging Procedures

NOTE: A new battery reaches full capacity after approximately 5 charging and discharging cycles.

The tool has a 3.7V built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery. When the battery is low, a “Battery critically low!” message appears and suggests you to charge the battery in time. (Fig. 8)
