charger, it must be disposed of safely and not left
unattended

Use
• Charging battery $
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
! remove battery A from charger B after charging
period has ended thereby lengthening the service
life of the battery
IMPORTANT:
- after 3 hours the charging operation will be completed,
and the battery may be used, even though the red
light may still be on (the red light may require more
than 3 hours to turn off)
- while charging, the charger and the battery may
become warm to touch; this is normal and does not
indicate a problem
- ensure that the outside surface of the battery is clean
and dry before inserting into charger
- do not charge at temperatures below 0°C and over
45°C; this will seriously damage the battery as well as
the charger
- do not remove battery from tool while it is running
! a battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity
until after approximately 5 charging/discharging
cycles
- do not repeatedly recharge the battery after only a few
minutes of operation; this may result in a reduction of
operating time and battery efficiency
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the tool, it
is best to unplug the charger from its power source
