INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE BATTERY
Always switch off the drill before insertion or removal of the battery.
Installing the Battery
•
Holding the drill upright and picking up the battery (6) in
your opposite hand. Place your fingers over the battery
release button (7) and insert the battery (6) until it clicks into
place (See Fig. 3).
•
Do not use excessive force when inserting the battery (6). If
the battery (6) does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted
correctly. It is also possible that there could be damage to the
battery (6), battery terminals or the drill.
•
Ensure the variable speed switch (8) is not being operated.
•
Align the notches in the base of the drill with those of the battery (6) and slide the
battery (6) and drill together until the battery (6) locks into place (see Fig. 3).
Removing the Battery
Depress the battery release button (7). Simultaneously pull the battery (6) forward away
from the drill.
Battery
The length of service from each charging cycle will depend on the type of work you
are doing. The battery (6) in this drill have been designed to provide maximum trouble
free life.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
•
Store and charge your batteries (6) 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.
