5. The scissors should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO
NOT CONTINUE using product with its batteries in a depleted
condition.
6. To prolong battery life, avoid leaving on charge for extended
periods of time (over 30 days without use). Although
overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce
overall battery life.
7. The batteries will reach optimum performance after being cycled
5 times during normal usage. There is no need to run the
batteries down completely before recharging. Normal usage is
the best method of discharging and recharging the batteries.
