• The battery and charger function best at normal room temperature. Do not charge
the battery in direct sunlight or in temperatures below 5 °C. The temperature range
for charging is 5–40 °C.
• When the battery becomes discharged, the electronics of the battery will turn
the drill off automatically.
• For long-term storage (months) the battery should first be fully charged.
Overload protection and other safety features
The drill/driver and its battery have a number of safety features that prevent damage to
the machine and battery during use.
• During short high-load situations the overload protection may turn off the drill/driver
and battery. This protection resets automatically. Release the trigger, wait a few
seconds, ensure that there is no-load and restart the drill. The drill/driver should
now function normally again.
• During high-load situations for an extended period of time the overheating protection
will turn off the drill/driver and battery. Self-resetting once the drill/driver returns to
normal operating temperature. Let the machine cool properly before trying to restart it.
Adverse temperatures can occur in direct sunlight and should therefore be avoided.
• The battery has low-voltage protection which comes into effect when the battery
becomes discharged. The low-voltage protection turns off the machine
automatically and the battery should then be recharged.
Changing drill and screwdriver bits
The drill/driver has a keyless chuck which enables drill or screwdriver bits to be
changed with one hand. Twist the chuck to the left to tighten, to the right to untighten.
Make sure that the bit sits centred and secured in the chuck.
Drilling tips and advice
• When drilling into slippery materials, like tiles, you should place a strong piece of
tape on the area in which you wish to drill to prevent the bit from wandering.
• When drilling into metal you should first use a centre punch to make a small
indentation at the spot where you wish to drill. This indentation will help hold
the bit in place and prevents it from wandering when you drill.
• When drilling into metal you should also use cutting oil to assist in drilling and to
preserve the machine and drill bit.
• Always use a clamp or vice to hold the workpiece.
• When drilling into walls, make sure not to damage water pipes, electricity cables
or gas pipes.
Care and maintenance
• Always keep the motor ventilation openings free from dust and debris.
• Clean the product using a lightly moistened cloth. Only use mild cleaning agents,
never solvents or corrosive chemicals.
• For long-term storage (months) the battery should first be fully charged.
