LED POWER CAPACITY INDICATOR
3 LEDS will show you the capacity of battery.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
The drill has been shipped in a quick charge condition. You should charge it prior to use.
Plug the charger into a power outlet.
Insert the battery into the charger. The recess of the battery terminals will have a firm connection. Upon
proper contact the red and green light will illuminate and when fully charged the red light will go out and
only the green light will be illuminated.
The battery will take one hour to charge. Charging starts automatically . Remove the battery (5) from the
charger after one hour.
When the battery is hot, it may not charge immediately. This is a feature of the lithium ion battery
as charging hot batteries shortens their life. In this case, the green light only will illuminate when the
battery is inserted into the charging. The battery needs to cool which may take several minutes and it will
automatically start charging once cooled.
Initial Charge(Fig.7)
Charge your battery for one hour then use it until it runs down and only slowly operates.
Repeat this charge and discharge process approximately 4-5 times, this will ensure that the battery is
performing to its highest capacity.
Charger will not turn off when the battery is fully charged.
Important Charging Notes
The charger and battery may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does
not indicate a problem.
Use the charger at nor mal room temperatures whenever possible. To prevent overheating, do not cover
the charger and do not charge the battery in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
If the battery does not charge properly:
1. Check current at power outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
2.If charging problems persist, have the complete drill checked by an electrician or a power tool repairer.
Battery
The length of service from each charging cycle will depend on the type of work you are doing. The battery
in this drill have been designed to provide maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they will
eventually wear out.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following: Store and charge your battery in a cool
area. Temperatures above or below normal room temperature will shorten battery life.
Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately after they are discharged. All
batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If you
store your drill for long periods of time without using it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This
practice will prolong battery life.
CLEANING AND MAINTANCE
When not in use, the drill should be stored in a dry, frost free location, out of reach of children. Keep
ventilation slots of the drill clean at all times and prevent any foreign matter from entering. If the housing
of the drill requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist soft cloth only. Blow out the ventilation slots
with compressed air periodically.
ENVIRONMENT
Do not dispose of electric tools, accessories and packaging together with household waste material
- in observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste of electric and electronic equipment and its
implementation in accordance with national law, electric tools that have reached the end of their life must
be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.
