Problem: The battery charger is warm to the touch.
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
Continuous or repetitive
charging cycles without a
break may cause the
charger to warm up.
No corrective action is required as
this does not indicate a fault with
the battery charger.
Problem: The battery operation time is significantly reduced,
even after the battery is fully charged.
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
The battery is defective,
or has reached the end of
its life (approximately
1000 charging cycles).
Replace the battery.
Problem: The drill does not rotate.
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
The rotational direction
switch is in a neutral
(middle) position, which
operates only the LED
light.
Push the rotational direction switch
all the way to one side.
The battery has not been
charged sufficiently.
Charge the battery and then try to
use the drill again.

short circuit , or a high current draw when the tool was under an
excessive load , may shut down prematurely . This is a built-in safety
feature.
