of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Battery pack efficiency and charging advice
Recharge the battery packs before they become completely exhausted When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and
recharge the battery packs. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery pack may become damaged. Avoid recharging at high
temperatures. A rechargeable battery pack will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery pack is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical
substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery pack and recharge it after it has cooled for a while. The battery pack should
only be used and/or charged when battery pack temperature is between 50C and 300C. The battery pack needs to be warmed-up or cooled down in order to
prevent damage to the batteries internal components. Note: Failure to warm up or cool down a battery pack could result in serious damage to tie battery,
charger and user.
