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.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery
cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room
temperature at 10 ﾟ C - 40 ﾟ C (50 ﾟ F - 104 ﾟ F).
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.

cartridge when you do not use it for more than
six months.
