IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1.After normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in 3 to 9 hours. If the battery pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 9 hours to become fully charged. Your battery pack was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. For best perfor- mance charge battery until red LED turns off. Allow the battery to cool down 30 minutes before charging after using the saw. NOTE: A hot battery placed in the charger will not charge.

2.DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below 40°F (4,5 °C) or above 105°F (40,5 °C). This is impor- tant and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if battery pack is charged when air temperature is about 75°F (24°C).

5.The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE us- ing product with its battery pack in a depleted condition.

6.To prolong battery life, avoid leaving the battery pack on charger for ex- tended periods of time (over 30 days without use). Although overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce overall battery life.

7.The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times during normal usage. There is no need to run the batteries down completely before recharging. Normal usage is the best method of discharging and recharging the batteries.
