5. Remove the battery from the battery charger.
Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out
the battery from the battery charger.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new
batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries
and batteries that have not been used for an
extended period is not activated, the electric
discharge might be low when using them the first
and second time. This is a temporary
phenomenon, and normal time required for
recharging will be restored by recharging the
batteries 2 – 3 times.
CAUTION:
● When the battery charger has been continuously
used, the battery charger will be heated, thus
constituting the cause of the failures. Once the
charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest
until the next charging.
● If the battery is charged while it is heated because
it has been left for a long time in a location subject
to direct sunlight or because the battery has just
been used, the pilot lamp of the charger lights for
1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for
0.5 seconds).
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case,
let the battery cool before charging.
NOTE:
Charging times may be longer depending on the
surrounding temperature and battery conditions.
Charge time lamp indications are only a guide, and
may vary depending on the surrounding
temperature and battery conditions.
Remove the battery from the charger when not in
use.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
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.
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.
