(2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable
battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in the Table 2, and batteries that have become
hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged.

Temperatures at which the battery can be recharged
0°C – 50°C
(3) Regarding recharging time

4. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle.
5. Hold the charger fi rmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after
use, and then keep it.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new
batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries
and batteries that have not been used for an extended
period is not activated, the electric discharge might be
low when using them the fi rst and second time. This is
a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for
recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries
2 – 3 times.

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.
