Cautions for the Li-ion Battery Pack

Make sure the terminals of the bat- tery charger are not contaminated with liquid, grease or other substanc- es before charging the battery pack. If you notice the terminals of the bat- tery charger contaminated, be sure to wipe or take them off before use. The life of the battery pack may ad- versely be affected when the ter- minals are clogged with the dust or dirt which becomes solid with liquid or grease.

If the temperature of the battery pack falls approximately below -10°C (14°F), charging will automatically stop to prevent degradation of battery.

Common Cautions for the Li- ion/Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Pack

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.

When charging a cool battery pack (below 0°C (32°F)) in a warm place, leave the battery pack at the place and wait for more than one hour to warm up the battery to the level of the ambient temperature.

Cool down the charger when charg- ing more than two battery packs con- secutively.

Do not insert your fingers into con- tact hole, when holding charger or any other occasions.

CAUTION:

To prevent the risk of fire or dam- age to the battery charger.

Do not use power source from an engine generator.

Do not cover vent holes on the charger and the battery pack.
