the batteries if the machine was used for a total
of 30 minutes or more. Do not leave batteries
discharged for lengthy periods.

Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Keep sparks
and open flame away. Keep battery
compartment open when charging.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing batteries,
wear protective gloves and eye protection
when handling batteries and battery cables.
Avoid contact with battery acid.
Make sure the charger profile is properly set for
the battery type before charging. Failure to
properly set profile will result in battery damage.
To determine the battery type, see battery label.
Contact the battery supplier if not specified.
To verify the charger profile setting, connect the
charger cord into an electrical receptacle. If the
