Battery charging
IMPORTANT.
Before attempting to charge the battery,
check the charger and the battery to ensure the charging
equipment matches the battery supplied. The components
are all labelled with component numbers.
IMPORTANT.
The battery will be fully charged after 3-5
hours, remove it from the charger after this time. Do not
leave a battery charging for longer than 24 hours.
Note:
It is suggested to remove the battery from the drill for
the charging process. Do not attempt to use the drill while
the charger is connected to the battery.
1. To commence charging, plug
in the adaptor from the plug
pack charger (10) into the
back of the battery and insert
firmly into place.
2. Plug in the plug pack charger
and switch on at the power
supply. The green LED
indicator located on the
back of the battery will indicate that the battery is being
charged. The red light on the back of the battery indicates
the battery is connected to the turned on charger.
During the charging process the Red and the Green
lights are on. When the battery is fully charged the red
light remains on while the green light turns off.
3. The battery charging time is approximately 3-5 hours.
4. When the battery is fully charged turn off the plug pack
charger power supply from the mains and remove the
charger plug from the battery.
Both the battery pack and the charger may become warm
to touch. This is also normal and not an issue of concern.
Both the battery pack and plug pack charger are fitted
with thermal safety devices and they will shut down if the
temperatures become too high.
To obtain the best life for the battery
Never allow the drill 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 drill
no longer performs a task it previously performed.
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 plug pack charger when not in use and
store in a dry secure place.
Avoid charging or storing your battery in temperatures
below 0ºC and above 40ºC.
Battery indicator

no load full speed, press the indicator button and refer to
the LED lights. The LED lights indicate the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
The table overleaf explains the levels of charge
(low, medium and high).
