ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR THE BATTERY PACK
1. The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low charge condition. You should fully charge the battery pack before use
2. Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or can no longer hold a charge. The battery pack can explode
in a fire.
3. small leakage of liquid from the battery pack may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This does not
necessarily indicate a failure of the battery pack. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage comes into contact with
your skin, wash the affected area quickly with soap and water. If the leakage gets in your eyes flush your eyes with clean water for
a minimum of 1O minutes and seek immediate medical attention. Inform the medical staff that the liquid is a 25-35% solution of
potassium hydroxide.
4. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open or cracks,
immediately discontinue its use and do not recharge it.
5. Do not store or carry a spare battery pack in a pocket or toolbox or any other place where it may come into contact with metal
objects. The battery pack may be short-circuited causing damage to the battery pack, burns or a fire.
BATTERY CHARGING INFORMATION
Charging rates for NiCad and/or Li-ion battery is determined by the time taken to fully charge the battery and by the charge
current. The three most commonly used charging rates are typically:
Fast charge, Slow charge and Trickle charge.
FAST CHARGE BATTERIES
The charging rates for fast charge batteries can vary between 30 and 90 minutes. The charging rate for the battery supplied with
a cordless power tool is stated in the product manual.
SLOW CHARGE BATTERY
The charging rates for slow charge batteries are between 3 and 5 hours.
TRICKLE CHARGE BATTERIES
The charging rates for trickle charge batteries are between 7 and 9 hours.
IMPORTANT!
NICAD AND/OR LI-ION BATTERY CHARGING INFORMATION.
ALWAYS FULLY DISCHARGE A NICAD AND/OR LI -ION BATTERY BEFORE CHARGING
AND NEVER EXCEED THE CHARGING RATE TIME, EXCEPT WHEN "CONDITIONING" A
NEW BATTERY.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
When charging a new NiCad and/or Li-ion battery it should be fully discharged followed by a full charge for the charging rate of
the battery as stated in the product manual plus 30 minutes. This should then be followed by a full discharge and a further full
charge for the charging rate of the battery as stated in the product manual plus 30 minutes. This procedure will condition the
battery and equalize the cell voltages. Following this procedure will ensure the optimum operation of the battery.
When repeatedly using the charger to charge a number of batteries, always allow the charger to cool down before charging
another battery. It is recommended that the cooling down period not being less than 30 to 45 minutes.
When charging a battery that has been discharged during heavy use allow the battery to cool down before charging. It is
recommended that the cooling down period not being less than 30 to 45 minutes.
NICAD AND/OR LI-ION CHARGING & CHARGERS
NiCad and/or Li-ion batteries need to be recharged with a reasonable amount of care, largely because they can be damaged by
overcharging.
Overcharging can result in battery temperature and internal pressure to rise rapidly. This can cause the cells to distort and lose
electrolyte, and in extreme cases where the internal pressure is extremely high, they can even explode.
This situation can also arise when an overcharged battery is fitted to the product and is being used. ln order to avoid this
extreme situation it is of vital importance that NiCad and/or Li-ion batteries are fully discharged before charging and that the
charge time is not exceeded except when "Conditioning" a new battery. Repeated charging of partially discharged batteries
could cause failure of one or more of the cells.
SELF DISCHARGE
A lithium battery can self-discharge and lose its stored charge. Typically, it can lose approximately 5% of its charge in the first
month after fully charging (when stored at room temperature) and then loses it by a further 3% per month. When stored at
higher temperatures the self-discharge rate will be accelerated.
BATTERY CHARGING INDOORS
This charger is designed to be used indoors. We do not recommend that it is used inside your home. ldeally batteries should be
charged on a bench in a workshop, garage or shed. If the charging operation is to be carried out in your home the area must be
well ventilated and the charger must be placed on a non-combustible surface ensuring that the ventilation slots are not blocked.
Never exceed the charging time except when "Conditioning" a new battery, as this could damage the battery and charger.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
When the battery fails to charge or maintain its charge, its usable life is exhausted. To preserve natural resources, please recycle
or dispose of the battery pack properly. This battery pack contains nickel-cadmium cells. Before disposal ensure that the battery
pack is fully discharged by operating your cordless product then remove the battery pack from the drill housing and cover the
battery pack connections with heavy-duty tape, to prevent short circuit and energy discharge which could result in a fire. Do not
attempt to open or remove any of the components.
Consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS RE-CHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
Batteries may leak or explode if not charged or handled correctly. Always observe the following precautions when handling
batteries.
Ensure that the machine is switched off before removing or fitting batteries.
Do not use this battery with any other product.
Do not attempt to fit the battery the wrong way around. Do not short out or attempt to dismantle the battery.
Do not expose the battery to flames or excessive heat.
Do not immerse in or expose the battery to water.
Do not store or transport the battery with loose metal objects such as drill and driver bits.
Batteries are prone to leakage when discharged. To avoid damage to the product, remove or re-charge the battery when no
charge remains. Store the battery in a cool place when not in use.
After prolonged use, the battery may become hot. Before removing the battery, switch the machine off and allow the battery to
cool down. Do not use the battery if you notice any discoloration or distortion of the battery casing.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
Read all the instructions. Failure to follow all the instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your main operated (corded) power tool or
battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tools plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoe,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on
