Warning
(When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system)
At the end of a days operation store the system with Ni-cad battery discharged. Be sure to
recharge the system before it is used again.
You should fully discharge your systems batteries periodicity to prevent a condition called
"memory". For example if you only make two run in a day or you regularly use a small
amount of the batteries capacity, the memory effect can reduce the actual capacity even
if the battery is charged for the recommended amount of time.

battery pack.
Overheating, damage and acid leakage may lead to burns, loss of eye sight as well as

Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, Do Not rub, wash
immediately with water, seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause blind-
ness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water immedi-
ately.
