LITHIUM ION BATTERY AND CHARGER SAFETY FEATURES
8
Over Current Protection
If the battery (5) is overloaded and the maximum current draw is exceeded the battery
will temporarily stop working to protect the internal components. The battery (5) will
resume normal operation once the current draw has returned to its normal safe
level. This may take a few seconds.
Short Circuit Protection
If the battery (5) short circuits, the short circuit protector immediately stops the
battery (5) from operating.
This ensures that no internal components of the battery (5) or tool are damaged.
Charging your Battery
The drills’ battery (5) has been shipped in a low charge
condition, and requires charging prior to use.
1. Connect the charger jack (11) to the charging
cradle (11) (Fig. 1).
2. Plug the charging adaptor (10) into a mains power
outlet.
3. With the charging cradle (12) sitting flat on a
bench/table, slide the battery (5) into the recess of
the battery terminals ensuring a firm connection
(Fig.2).
4. The battery (5) fits in one direction only. If you
need to force the connection it means the battery
(5) is facing the wrong way.
5. A battery takes 3 - 5 hours to charge. Charging
starts automatically when the battery is connected to the charger.
Remove the battery (5) from the charging cradle (12) after 5 hours.
Initial Charge
1. The battery (5) will not reach its full charge the first time it is charged.
2. Allow several charging cycles of charging and then discharging (through use of
the tool) for the battery (5) to reach its maximum charge.
Caution:
Disconnect the charger adaptor from the mains power when charger is not
in use.
Subsequent Charges
1. After normal usage, approximately 3-5 hours of charging time is required to
fully recharge the battery (5).
2. If the battery (5) is completely discharged, 5 hours or longer of charging time
will be required to fully recharge it.
