CAUTION ON LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips
with the protection function to stop the output.
In the cases of 1 to 3 described below, when using this
product, even if you are pulling the switch, the motor
may stop. This is not the trouble but the result of
protection function.
1. When the battery power remaining runs out, the
motor stops.
In such case, charge it up immediately.
2. If the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop. In this
case, release the switch of tool and eliminate causes
of overloading. After that, you can use it again.
3. If the battery is overheated under overload work,
the battery power may stop.
In this case, stop using the battery and let the
battery cool. After that, you can use it again.
Furthermore, please heed the following warning and
caution.
WARNING
In order to prevent any battery leakage, heat generation,
smoke emission, explosion and ignition beforehand,
please be sure to heed the following precautions.
1. Make sure that swarf and dust do not collect on the
battery.
During work make sure that swarf and dust do not
fall on the battery.
Make sure that any swarf and dust falling on the
power tool during work do not collect on the battery.
Do not store an unused battery in a location exposed
to swarf and dust.
Before storing a battery, remove any swarf and
dust that may adhere to it and do not store it together
with metal parts (screws, nails, etc.).
2. Do not pierce battery with a sharp object such as a
nail, strike with a hammer, step on, throw or subject
the battery to severe physical shock.
3. Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed
battery.
4. Do not use the battery in reverse polarity.
5. Do not connect directly to an electrical outlets or
car cigarette lighter sockets.
6. Do not use the battery for a purpose other than
those specified.
7. If the battery charging fails to complete even when
a specified recharging time has elapsed,
immediately stop further recharging.
8. Do not put or subject the battery to high
temperatures or high pressure such as into a
microwave oven, dryer, or high pressure container.
9. Keep away from fire immediately when leakage or
foul odor are detected.
10. Do not use in a location where strong static
electricity generates.
11. If there is battery leakage, foul odor, heat generated,
discolored or deformed, or in any way appears
abnormal during use, recharging or storage,
immediately remove it from the equipment or
battery charger, and stop use.
CAUTION
1. If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your
eyes, do not rub your eyes and wash them well
with fresh clean water such as tap water and contact
a doctor immediately.
If left untreated, the liquid may cause eye-problems.
2. If liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well
with clean water such as tap water immediately.
There is a possibility that this can cause skin irritation.
3. If you find rust, foul odor, overheating, discolor,
deformation, and/or other irregularities when using
the battery for the first time, do not use and return it
to your supplier or vendor.
WARNING (CH14DSL/CH18DSL)
If an electrically conductive foreign object enters the
terminals of the lithium ion battery, a short-circuit may
occur resulting in the risk of fire. Please observe the
following matters when storing the battery.
Do not place electrically conductive cuttings, nails,
steel wire, copper wire or other wire in the storage
case.
Either install the battery in the power tool or store
by securely pressing into the battery cover until
the ventilation holes are concealed to prevent short-
