BATTERIES

The battery pack for this tool is equipped with nickel-
cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from
each charging will depend on the type of work you are
doing.

The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide
maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they
will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack
and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these
batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry,
could result in a serious burn.

To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:

Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.

Temperatures below 50°F or above 100°F will shorten

battery life.

Never store batteries in a discharged condition.
Recharge them immediately after they are

discharged.

Ail batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher
the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If
you store your tool for long periods of time without

using it, recharge the batteries every month or two.

This practice will prolong battery life.

To preserve natural resources, please
recycle or dispose of batteries properly.

This product contains nickel-cadmium
batteries. Local, state or federal laws
may prohibit disposal of nickel-cadmium
batteries in ordinary trash.

Consult your local waste authority for information
regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.

BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND PREPARATION
FOR RECYCLING

A WARNING: Upon removal, cover the battery pack's

terminals with heavy duty adhesive tape. Do not

attempt to destroy or disassemble battery pack or

remove any of its components. Nickel-cadmium
batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.

Also, never touch both terminals with metal objects
and/or body parts as short circuit may result. Keep
away from children. Failure to comply with these
warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.
