Revitalizing the battery (trickle recharge)
A new battery or a battery that has not been used for extensive periods may not charge
completely due to internal chemicals being inert.
Leave the battery inserted in the charger for 8 to 12 hours after charging is complete.
The charger automatically "revitalizes" the battery by trickle recharging.
How to make the batteries perform longer
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and
recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the
battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged
immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery
life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

BEFORE USE

Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris and clutter.
Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure that lighting and ventilation is adequate.
