Utiliser les constructeurs BigDecimal et BigInteger à base de chaînes de caractères.
Lorsqu’on crée un BigDecimal (resp. BigInteger) à partir d’une constante du type primitif double (resp.integer), la valeur tronquée pour supporter la représentation dans le type primitif :
//EVITER
BigDecimal num = new BigDecimal(8250325.12f);
//PREFERER
BigDecimal num = new BigDecimal(“8250325.12”);

value is truncated to conform to the primitive type representattion
I believe the value is rounded actually, not truncated but it is a possibility.
What they mean is that when you use the first form (eviter) the value you enter is first converted to double type and only then to the BigDecimal. Because not all decimal fractions can be exactly represented as binary, some rounding will be needed. This causes loss of precision.
If you use the second form (preferer), the value is converted directly into decimal with no loss.
