The supplied battery pack is a Terminals lithium-ion battery. Before using

the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

 

 

•

To avoid hazards

 

 

... do not burn.

 

 

... do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away

 

 

 

from metallic objects when not in use. 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, as this may cause the battery

 

 

 

to overheat, explode or catch fire.

•

To prevent damage and prolong service life

INFORMATION

... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

... charge within the temperature range of 10°C

 

 

 

to 35°C. Cooler temperatures require longer

 

 

 

charging time, or in some cases stop charging

 

 

 

at all. Warmer temperatures prevent complete

 

 

 

charging, or in some cases stop charging at all.

 

 

... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure

FURTHER

 

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 of time.

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