OPERATING PROCEDURES
• Release the trigger when a clicking sound indicates the chuck will not turn further.
• For drilling, always use the drill setting, indicated by the pictogram of a drill bit.
At this setting, the drive will not disengage from the chuck.
KEYLESS CHUCK
•
Center the rotation direction knob to prevent the motor from accidentally starting.
•
Note there are two rings on the chuck. Turn the endmost knurled ring of the
chuck clockwise by hand while, holding the second ring with the other hand
(closer to the rear of the tool) to prevent the motor from turning; this closes the
jaws of the chuck. Turning that same endmost knurled ring counter-clockwise
opens the jaws.
•
Open the jaws to accept the bit and then close the jaws so they clamp the bit
tightly.
BATTERY PACK and CHARGER
Battery must be fully charged for a minimum of 6 hours
before using the drill.
Batteries will reach full performance after about five charge/discharge cycles.
Always have the
drill rotation switch in neutral/lock position when removing or
inserting the battery to avoid unintentionally starting.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the lock spring buttons and pull it
out.
To insert, simply push the battery pack in until the lock spring clicks.
The battery charger consists of two parts:
1.
a combined transformer/
120 volt plug with a low-voltage lead
2. a charging stand
Insert the transformer/plug into a
120V household current receptacle.
The step of the battery pack has positive and negative terminal markings on it.
Align these with the identical markings on the top of the charging stand and
insert the battery pack into the base (The pack will not insert properly if reversed).
The red light is the power indicator. When the charger is connected to the AC
household current, the red light is on.
The green light is the charge indicator. When the battery is properly inserted
into the charger and charging, the green light is on.
Normal charging time is 3 to 5 hours. The charger will charge the battery at the
normal rate until the charging is complete. The current will then diminish and continue
to provide a small trickle charge. The battery temperature will then cool to normal.
When charging more than one battery pack in succession, allow 15 minutes
between the charges.
The battery discharges slowly over time, even when not used, and may require
recharging before you use the tool.
After many charge/discharge cycles, your battery will lose its ability to hold a
charge. It should then be replaced.
WARNING!
Dispose of batteries at an appropriate waste disposal facility. They
contain cadmium, so do not throw the batteries away in common trash
receptacles. CALL 1-866-915-8626 FOR ADVICE.
!
WARNING!
Never charge the battery until it is cooled down, charging the hot battery may
cause the battery to explosion.
