11. NEVER store the battery or battery charger in places where the temperature may reach or exceed 104°F (40°C).
12. ALWAYS operate charger on standard household electrical power (120 volts). Using the charger on any
other voltage may overheat and damage the charger.
13. ALWAYS wait at least 15 minutes between charges to avoid overheating the charger.
14. ALWAYS disconnect the power cord from its receptacle when the charger is not in use.

CAUTION ON LITHIUM-ION BATTERY

To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips with the protection function to stop the output.
In the cases of 1 and 2 described below, when using this product, even if you are pulling the switch, the motor
may stop. This is not the trouble but the result of protection function.
