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 ser- vice life.

The ambient temperature range is be- tween 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).

If the battery pack is used when the bat- tery 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 appropriate 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 con- nection from one terminal to another.

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

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

Battery Pack Life

The rechargeable batteries have a lim- ited life. If the 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.

Charging

NOTE:

When you charge the battery pack for the first time, or after prolonged storage, charge it for about 24 hours to bring the battery up to full capacity.

Battery charger (EY0110)

1.Plug the charger into the AC outlet.

3.During charging, the charging lamp will be lit.

When charging is completed, an inter- nal electronic switch will automatically be triggered to prevent overcharging.

Charging will not start if the battery pack is warm (for example, immedi- ately after heavy-duty operation).

The orange standby lamp will be lit until the battery cools down. Charging will then begin automatically.

4.When charging is completed, the charging lamp will start flashing quickly in green color.

5.When in any of the conditions that battery pack is too cool, or the bat- tery pack has not been used for a long time, the charging lamp is lit. In this case, charging takes longer to fully charge the battery pack, than the standard charging time.

If a fully charged battery pack is insert- ed into the charger again, the charging lamp light up. After several minutes, the charging lamp may flash quickly to indicate the charging is completed.

6.If the charging lamp does not light im- mediately after the charger is plugged in, or if after the standard charging time the lamp does not go off, consult an authorized dealer.
