For Appropriate use of Battery pack
Ni-MH Battery pack (EY9251)
• Charge the Ni-MH battery fully before storage
in order to ensure a longer service life.
• The ambient temperature range is between 0°C
(32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
If the battery pack is used when the battery
temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool may
fail to function properly. In that case, charge the
battery until charging is completed for appropri-
ate functioning of the battery.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like: 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 a fire.
• When operating with a Ni-MH battery pack,
make sure the place is well ventilated.
Battery Pack Life
The rechargeable batteries have a limited life. If
operation time becomes extremely short after
recharging, replace the battery pack with a new one.
NOTE:
•Use under extremely hot or cold conditions will
reduce operating capacity per charge.
•Even if you don’t use the Wood saw, charge the
battery pack at least once every six months.
