When To Charge The Battery - 909 909004DEC Instruction Manual

• Take care where the tool is stored. Do not store in areas
of corrosive fumes, or salt air or similar conditions. Try
and store the tool in the packaging supplied with the tool.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire or put the battery
into a microwave oven, conventional oven, dryer, or high-
pressure container.
Under these conditions, the battery may explode.
• Never attempt to open the battery pack, puncture the
battery or subject the battery to strong physical shock.
• If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open
or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not
recharge it. Ensure the battery pack clip is in good
condition and will not allow the pack to fall free from the
tool. If the clip is damaged or for any reason is not locking
the pack in place Do Not continue to use.
• Stop using the battery if it exhibits abnormal heat, odour,
colour, deformation, or is in an abnormal condition.
• If you detect leakage or a foul odour, it is especially
important to keep the battery away from fire. If battery
liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well with
clean water immediately. If liquid leaking from the
battery gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes.
Rinse your eyes well (for at least 10 minutes) with clean
water, and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use a
leaking battery.
• Handle batteries with care to avoid shorting the battery
with conducting materials, such as nails, screws, metal
watch bands, rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery may
overheat and could burn you.
• After the battery has reached the end of its useful life, we
recommend recycling the materials at your local municipal
council recycling centre. DO NOT attempt to replace the
battery cells in the battery pack, repair or modify any part
of the battery pack assembly.
• When recycling, make it nonconductive by applying
insulating tape to the terminals located on the battery.

When to charge the battery

New battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition
and must be fully charged before use. It takes approximately
8 hours to fully charge a new battery and 3 – 5 hours once
the battery has been used in the tool a few times.
Charging of batteries should not be undertaken casually.
Through the charging cycle the condition of the battery pack
should be monitored and the charge cycle turned off at
completion or at the end of the recommended time.
Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your 909 Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing.
If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
