Kawasaki 840108 - Manual (Page 25)

The battery is not fully charged. Before first use, the battery pack requires
8-10 hours charge time to be fully charged. Subsequent recharging needs 3-5
hours for the battery to be fully charged.
Always switch to a fresh battery when tool performance begins to diminish.
Severe heat is most destructive to a battery; the more heat generated, the faster
the battery loses power. A battery that gets too hot can have a shortened life.
Never over-discharge a battery by using the tool even after tool performance
has decreased. Do not attempt to discharge a tool’s battery by continuing to
pull on the tool trigger. When tool performance begins to diminish, stop the tool
and recharge the battery for optimal performance.
Charge battery pack at ambient temperatures between 50° F – 104° F.
Store tool and battery pack in locations where temperatures will not exceed
120°F. This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
The battery pack should always be recharged when the Cordless Drill begins to
run slowly.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects such as
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or fire.

When restarting a saw in the workpiece, check that teeth are not engaged in the
material.
Keep the handle of the Cordless Reciprocating Saw dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease.
Be extra careful when cutting in high or hard-to-reach locations. Be on the
lookout for hidden wires and falling debris.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the Cordless Reciprocating Saw. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Alltrade for a replacement.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
