cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or
replace the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.

3. Cleaning on the outside
When the driver drill 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.
4. Storage
Store the driver drill in a place in which the temperature
is less than 40°C and out of reach of children.
NOTE
Make sure that the battery is fully charged when
stored for a long period (3 months or more). The
battery with smaller capacity may not be able to
be charged when used, if stored for a long period.
NOTE
Storing Lithium-ion Batteries
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage of batteries with a low charge may
result in performance deterioration, significantly reducing
battery usage time or rendering the batteries incapable
of holding a charge.
However, significantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to five times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead
and purchase new batteries.
