CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES (cont.)
NOTE:
If light on the charger cradle fails to come on.
•
Check the adaptor is securely plugged into the wall outlet and is switched on.
•
Check battery is firmly seated onto the charger cradle.
•
Check that the charger jack is securely connected into the charger cradle socket.
Initial Charge
•
Charge your battery for 8-12 hours then use it until it runs down and only
slowly operates the drill.
•
Connect your battery pack to the charger and recharge for 8-12 hours again.
•
Once again run your drill until only a small amount of charge remains.
•
Repeat the above cycle about 4 or 5 times. This should set the battery
“memory”, then charge for 3-5 hours.
•
Charger will not turn off when battery is fully charged.
•
Red LED light will not go out when battery is fully charged.
Important Charging Notes
•
The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This
is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem.
•
Use the charger at normal room temperatures whenever possible. To prevent
overheating, do not cover the charger and do not charge the battery pack in
direct sunlight or near heat sources.
•
If the battery pack does not charge properly:-
1. Check current at power outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
2. If charging problems persist, have the complete tool checked by an
electrician or a power tool repairer.
Battery
The length of service from each charging cycle will depend on the type of work you
are doing. The batteries in this drill have been designed to provide maximum
trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
•
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area. Temperatures above or below
normal room temperature will shorten battery life.
•
Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately
after they are discharged.
•
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the
quicker they lose their charge. If you store your drill for long periods of time
without using it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will
prolong battery life.
