Fitting and removing
the battery pack
To remove the battery pack (11)
from the rotary tool, firmly press
the release tab back
of the battery pack, and slide
the battery pack backward out
of the tool (fig. A).
Similarly, to install the battery pack, slide the pack fully into
the tool until it “clicks” into position.
Battery charging
IMPORTANT.
Before placing the battery pack into the
battery charger cradle, always ensure that the plug is
switched off at the mains.
IMPORTANT.
The battery will be fully charged after
3-5 hours of charging. Remove the battery pack from the
charger cradle after approximately 5 hours of charging and
switch the charger off at the mains socket. Do not leave the
battery charging for longer
than 24 hours.
1. Locate the male connector of
the power lead into the rear
socket of the battery charger
cradle (fig. B).
2. Ensure the battery charger
cradle is sitting upright.
Note.
The battery pack (11)
will not drop into the battery
charger cradle if the tab of the
battery is not aligned properly
with the indent of the battery
charger.
3. Align the tab of the battery
pack with the indent in the
battery charger and lower
into the cradle (fig. C).
4. Connect the mains plug
of the battery charger to a
suitable power point.
5. The battery indicator will
glow red to show that there
is power to the battery
charger. When the green
light is on, the battery is fully
charged. When the green
light stops glowing, the battery is charged.
Note:
The battery can be used at any point of the charging
period as long as there is charge in the battery.
WARNING:
Remove the battery from the charger if being
using in a semi-charged state.
Obtaining the longest life from the battery
Never allow the rotary tool to come to a complete stand still
before recharging. The battery should be placed on charge
whenever the battery is noticeably running down or the rotary
tool no longer performs a task it previously performed.
Avoid conducting short charges. Make sure that the battery is
fully charged every time by allowing the charger to complete its
full charging cycle.
Avoid allowing lose items like screws or nails etc to be stored
with battery packs as these or similar items can short battery
packs and cause a fire or explosion. Always unplug the charger
when not in use and store in a dry secure place.
Avoid charging or storing your battery in temperatures below
0°C (32°F) or greater than 40°C (104°F).
Operation
WARNING.
Before connecting the tool to a power source
(power point, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is
the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A
power source with a voltage greater than that specified for
the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as
damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using
a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate
rating is harmful to the motor.
