For Appropriate use of Battery pack

Ni-MH Battery pack (EY9251)

•Charge the Ni-MH battery fully before storage in order to ensure a longer service life.

•The ambient temperature range is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).

If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool may fail to function properly. In that case, charge the battery until charging is completed for appropri- ate functioning of the battery.

•When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns or a fire.

•When operating with a Ni-MH battery pack, make sure the place is well ventilated.

Battery Pack Life

The rechargeable batteries have a limited life. If operation time becomes extremely short after recharging, replace the battery pack with a new one.

NOTE:

•Use under extremely hot or cold conditions will reduce operating capacity per charge.

•Even if you don’t use the Wood saw, charge the

battery pack at least once every six months.
