Tips for maintaining maximum

battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

discharged. Always stop tool operation and

charge the battery cartridge when you notice

less tool power.

Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-

ture at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot

battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

4. When not using the battery cartridge, remove

it from the tool or the charger.

5. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use

it for a long period (more than six months).
