SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
X
CAUTION
The battery pack must only be used for this instrument.
If charging is not complete even if the specified charging time has elapsed, stop charging.
Continuing to charge the battery pack may result in battery fluid leakage, heat generation,
smoke, explosion or fire.
Do not put the battery pack in a microwave oven or high-pressure container. The battery
pack may be heated rapidly or may no longer be airtight, resulting in battery fluid leakage,
heat generation, smoke, explosion or fire.
If battery fluid leakage or an odd smell is detected, immediately take the battery pack away
from the heat source. Leaving it in such condition may cause the battery fluid to catch fire,
resulting in smoke, explosion or fire.
If odd smells, heat generation, discoloration or deformation are noticed during use,
charging or storage of the battery pack, disconnect it from the instrument or charger, and
do not use it. Continuing to use it in such conditions may result in battery fluid leakage,
heat generation, smoke, explosion or fire.
Do not use or leave the battery pack in strong direct sunlight or in places like inside an
automobile under very strong sunshine. Doing so may result in battery fluid leakage, heat
generation or smoke. It also may deteriorate the performance or life of the battery pack.
The battery pack has a built-in protective circuit designed to prevent danger. So, do not use
the battery pack in places where static electricity that is likely to damage the protective
device is generated. Using the battery pack in such places may damage the protective
device, resulting in battery fluid leakage, heat generation, smoke, explosion or fire.
The battery pack can be charged in the following temperature range. Charging the battery
pack outside this range may cause battery fluid leakage, heat generation or breakdown. It
may also deteriorate the performance or life of the battery pack. Allowed charging
temperature range: 5°C to 30°C
If rust, odd smells, heat generation or any other abnormality are found when using the
instrument for the first time following purchase, stop its use and contact the agent from
whom the instrument was purchased.
