BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

1. Battery removal

Hold the handle tightly and push the battery latch to remove the battery (see

Figs. 1

 and 

2

).

CAUTION:

Never short-circuit the battery.

2. Battery installation

Insert the battery while observing its polarities (see 

Fig. 2

).

CHARGING

Before using the power tool, charge the battery as follows.

1. Connect the charger’s power cord to a receptacle.

When the power cord is connected, the charger’s pilot lamp will blink in red.

(At 1-second intervals)

2. Insert the battery into the charger.

Firmly insert the battery into the charger until the line is visible, as shown in

Fig. 3, 4

 .

3. Charging

When inserting a battery in the charger, charging will commence and the

pilot lamp will light continuously in red.

When the battery becomes fully recharged, the pilot lamp will blink in red.

(At 1-second intervals) (See 

Table 1

)

(1) Pilot lamp indication

The indications of the pilot lamp will be as shown in 

Table 1

, according to

the condition of the charger or the rechargeable battery.

(2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable battery

The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in 

Table 2

, and batteries

that have become hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged.

Table 2 

Recharging ranges of batteries

(3) Regarding recharging time

Depending on the combination of the charger and batteries, the charging
time will become as shown in 

Table 3

.

  Charging time (At 20°C)

NOTE:

The charging time may vary according to temperature and power source
voltage.

4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the receptacle.

5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE:

After operation, pull out batteries from the charger first, and then keep the

batteries properly.

How to make the batteries perform longer

(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.

When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool
and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the

electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.

(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.

A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is

recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will
deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and
recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

CAUTION:

䡬

When the battery charger has been continuosly used, the battery charger
will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging

has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.

䡬

If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to
sunlight, the pilot lamp map light in green.

The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before
charging.

䡬

When the pilot lamp flickers in red (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and

take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery installation hole. If there
are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.
