receptacle.

5. Hold the charger ﬁ rmly and pull out the battery.

NOTE

Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use,

and then keep it.

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 ﬁ rst and second time.

This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time

required for recharging will be restored by recharging the

batteries 2-3 times.

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.
