• If the temperature of the battery pack
falls approximately below −10°C (14°F),
charging will automatically stop to prevent
degradation of the battery.
• The ambient temperature range is
between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
If the battery pack is used when the battery
temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool
may fail to function properly.
• Use the charger at temperatures between
0°C and 40°C, and charge the battery at
a temperature similar to that of the battery
itself. (There should be no more than a
15°C difference between the temperatures
of the battery and the charging location.)
• When charging a cool battery pack (below
0°C (32°F)) in a warm place, leave the
battery pack at the place and wait for more
than one hour to warm up the battery to
the level of the ambient temperature.
• Cool down the charger when charging
more than two battery packs consecutively.
• Do not insert your fingers into contact
hole, when holding charger or any other
occasions.
