Preparation
Important load considerations
• Longer life and better performance can be obtained if the
battery unit is charged in room temperature between 5ºC and
45ºC. Allow a hot battery pack to cool before charging.
• The charger and battery unit may heat up slightly during the
charging process. This is normal and does not represent any
problem. To make it easier to cool the battery unit after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery unit in a warm place, such
as a metal shed or trailer without thermal insulation.
Tool/battery protection system
CAUTION
• The tool is equipped with a system that automatically stops the tool to prolong both its useful life and that of the
batteries, this happens in the following cases:
Overload. When the tool is forced, the battery consumes abnormally high current levels. Suspend overexertion work and turn the
tool back on.
Overheating. Let the tool and battery cool before turning it back on.
Over-discharge. The battery level is low. In this case, remove the battery from the tool and charge it.
Batteries
• To install the battery in the tool handle, align the battery unit with the rails on
the inside of the tool handle and slide it into the handle until the battery unit is
firmly inserted into the tool; check that ir does not come off by itself.
• To remove the battery from de tool, press the release button (A) and firmly
pull the battery out of the tool handle.
• To make sure the battery is charged, press the indicator button (B). The color
of the light indicates the charge level.

Bits or adaptors assembly
• Place the direction button in the locked position (center).
• Hold the handle firmly with one hand, and with the other hand turn the chuck
counterclokwise for the jaws to loosen.
• Insert the bit until it stops or remove it whichever the situation.

• The battery unit should be recharged when it is not able to
produce enough power for jobs that were easily performed
before. DO NOT CONTINUE to use it under these
circumstances. Follow the charging procedure.
• The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from
direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
• For optimal results during extended storage times, it is
recommended to store the fully charged battery unit in a cool,
dry place outside the charger.
