Ryobi OJ1802 manual Maintenance, General, Batteries, Battery Disposal

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

WARNING:

The tool should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent acciden- tal starting that could cause serious injury.

GENERAL

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petro- leum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.

BATTERIES

Your tool is equipped with Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work you are doing.

The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out. DO NOT disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in serious burn.

To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:

￿Storing or charging the batteries in temperatures above 100º F or below 50º F will shorten battery life.

￿Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait for battery to cool and charge immediately.

￿All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature, the quicker they lose their charge. If you store your tool for long periods of time without using it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery life.

BATTERY DISPOSAL

To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of the battery properly. Local, state, or federal laws may prohibit disposal of Nickel-Cadmium batteries in ordinary trash.

Consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.

For more information on battery recycling call 1-800-8BATTERY.
