PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK ● When the battery pack is not in use, it must be stored in a cool, dry place. Do not leave the battery pack in a place where it might be subject to a high temperature (under direct sunlight in a car, etc.), this could cause leakage of the fluid or shorten service life. ● When the terminal section of the battery pack gets dirty, the operating time will be shortened. ● If the operating time becomes greatly reduced even immediately after recharging, the service life of the battery pack is nearly finished. Purchase a new battery pack. Recharging ● Recharge the battery pack after completely discharging it. Repeated recharging with residual charge remaining could result in reduced battery capacity. ● If the battery capacity is reduced by repeating incomplete recharging, or recharging without discharging, once discharge the battery pack completely, then recharge it to restore the battery capacity. ● If the battery pack is recharged with its internal temperature raised immediately after use, recharging may not be performed completely. 36 5.
