English 4. Disconnect the chargers power cord from the

receptacle. 5. Hold the charger rmly and pull out the battery. NOTE Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use,

and then keep it.

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 rst and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 23 times.

How to make the batteries perform longer.

(1) 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.

(2) 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 If the battery is charged while it is heated because

it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (o for 0.3 seconds). In such a case, rst let the battery cool, then start charging.

When the charge indicator lamp ickers (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the chargers battery connector. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.

tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not

become damaged and/or wet with oil or water. 3. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery) Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not

collected on the terminals. On occasion check prior, during and after operation. CAUTION Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected on

the terminals. Failure to do so may result in malfunction. 4. Cleaning on the outside When the power tool is stained, wipe with a soft

dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.

5. Storage Store the power tool and the battery in a place in which

the temperature is less than 40C and out of reach of children.

NOTE Storing lithium-ion batteries. Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully

charged before storing them. Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with

a low charge may result in performance deterioration, signi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering the batteries incapable of holding a charge.

However, signi cantly reduced battery usage time may be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the batteries two to ve times.

If the battery usage time is extremely short despite repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead and purchase new batteries.

CAUTION In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the

safety regulations and standards prescribed in each country must be observed.
