Battery and Charger
DANGER
• Use only the Truper charger included to
charge the battery. Using a different charger may cause fire
or injury hazard.
• Use only batteries specifically designed
DANGER
for the tool. Different batteries could generate risk of injury
or fire.
DANGER
• Do not use the charger outdoors.
• When charging, obey the "+/-" polarity.
• Never recharge a leaking battery or that is visibly
damaged.
• Do not use batteries or a charger for purposes different
that it was designed for.
• Do not modify the battery contacts or the chargers.
• Do not expose the battery pack or the tool to fire or
extreme temperatures. Exposure to fire or temperatures
above 130 °C can cause an explosion.
• Never expose the batteries to fire or
DANGER
impact. They could explode.
• Batteries shall be kept away from
CAUTION
metallic objects like clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
type of object making contact with the terminals. It would
cause a short circuit and burns or fire. They should be kept
clean, dry and in good repair.
• Under extreme conditions the battery
CAUTION
liquid could spill out. Avoid any contact. If an accidental
contact happens clean with enough water. If the battery
liquid comes into contact with your eyes, clean with
enough water and immediately go see the doctor. Liquid
expelled from the batteries could cause irritation or burns.
• Remove battery when not in use.
CAUTION
• If the battery will be stored for long
periods of time, keep an intermediate charge (40%) to
maximize its useful life. Do not leave it completely charged
for long periods of time, or leave it charging when not in
use.
• Keep batteries away from children reach.
• Do not discard batteries together with household trash.
Go to a specialized center for it's recycling.
Choose the right bit
• Choose the right bit for the work piece.
CAUTION
It reduces the risk of severe injury and makes the job easier.
• To work on metal or plastic, use bits suitable for metal. Sizes
encompass a minimum of 0.06" and up to the chuck
maximum capacity.
• On wood, use regular bits suitable for wood. In any case,
to drill 0.25" or smaller orifices, use bits designed to drill
on metal.
• Do not try using bits exceeding the chuck capacity.
Before operating the tool
• Take your time to assess the job to be done and double
check you are paying attention to the necessary caution
advices before starting to drill.
• Adjust correctly the bit into the chuck.
• Before boring a wall, floor or ceiling,
DANGER
double check there are no hidden objects, like cables,
power conductors or pipes.
DANGER
• Verify the switch is in the OFF position
before inserting the battery. Otherwise it will start working
unexpectedly, causing severe injuries.
CAUTION
• Turn off and disconnect the tool before
reversing the chuck rotation direction, as well as setting up
or replacing a bit.
Use the auxiliary handles, if supplied with the tool. Loosing
control may cause personal injuries.
While operating the tool
• Hold the tool by it's isolated surfaces designed for that
purpose, especially when making jobs where the bit might
contact hidden making jobs where the bit might contact
hidden wiring or by their own cord. Contact with a power
cable makes the metallic parts of the tool will be
energized as well and produce a short circuit to the
operator.
• Do not submit the tool to excessive loads.
CAUTION
• If the bit gets stuck in the work piece,
turn off the tool immediately. Then, remove the bit from
the work piece. Do not try to remove stuck bits turning on
and off the tool.
• Do not put excessive pressure on the tool to accelerate
boring. Otherwise the bit will get damaged and the tool
efficiency will diminish as well as it working life.
• The largest the bit diameter, the
WARNING
reactive force is higher. The reactive force is higher causing
loss of control over the tool. To prevent this possibility hold
firmly the tool with both hands, and keep good footing
while boring at 90°.
• Stay alert and ready to relax the force when the bit goes
through the material. Sudden movements can break the bit
or damage the tool.
• Do not touch the bit or the orifices
CAUTION
immediately after drilling. Wait for them to cool off to
manipulate. Do not try to cool them with water or oil.
• Before leaving the tool aside make sure all the moving
parts have come to a complete stop.
• Avoid setting the tool where there are particles and / or
dust immediately after use. These can get absorbed inside
the tool mechanism and damage the machine.
• Wear hearing protectors when making jobs with a
noise level higher than 85 dB
• Use dust mask and dust extractor if necessary.
Remember that materials such as asbestos, paint with
lead, additives, some types of wood, metals
or minerals are highly toxic.
• Use safety glasses.
