NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries
with a low charge may result in performance
deterioration, signifi cantly reducing battery usage
time or rendering the batteries incapable of holding a
charge.
However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time
may be recovered by repeatedly charging and using
the batteries two to fi ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries
dead and purchase new batteries.
9. Service and repairs
All quality power tools will eventually require servicing
or replacement of parts because of wear from normal
use. To assure that only authorized replacement
parts will be used, all service and repairs must
be performed by a metabo HPT AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER, ONLY.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools,
the safety regulations and standards prescribed
in each country must be observed.
Important notice on the batteries for the
metabo HPT cordless power tools
Please always use one of our designated genuine
batteries. We cannot guarantee the safety and
performance of our cordless power tool when used
with batteries other than these designated by us, or
