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.

How to make the batteries perform
longer.
䡬 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.
䡬 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.
CAUTION
䢇 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.
䢇 If the battery is recharged when it is
warm due to battery use or exposure
to sunlight, the pilot lamp may not
light.
The battery will not be recharged. In
such a case, let the battery cool before
charging.
䢇 If the battery charger does not work
while the battery is mounted
correctly, it is probable that the
battery or charger is malfunctioning.
Take it to your authorized Service
Center.
