When the battery is charged the cordless drill has to be used until you start noticing that the
power of the drill is diminishing and that the maximum rotational speed is not reached.
•
The battery is almost discharged now. Only now you can start charging the battery.
•
Charging the battery while it is still charged for say one-third of capacity, the so-called
‘memory effect’ can occur. Since during charging only the discharged part of the battery
capacity of the battery is being charged now, the battery can start crystallizing in the one-
third that is still charged. This part of the battery capacity can never be used afterwards.
•
Do not discharge the battery to the minimum. As soon as you notice that the power or the
maximum rotational speed is diminishing, you have to charge the battery. When you
proceed using the drill and the battery becomes fully discharged, the so-called ‘switch of
poles effect’ can occur.
The polarity of the battery poles will be switched: the ‘+’will
become ‘-‘ and the ‘-‘ will become the ‘+’. Once this has occurred the polarity will remain
switched during loading and this will damage the battery irreparable.
When the cordless drill is not being used over a longer period of time, the battery has
to be charged fully first. The battery has to be stored in charged condition.
5. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is not live when carrying out maintenance work on the
motor.
The machines have been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper machine care and
regular cleaning.
Cleaning
Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine.
Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the
ventilation slots free from dust and dirt. If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened
with soapy water. Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These
solvents may damage the plastic parts.
Lubrication
The machine requiers no additional lubrication.
Faults
Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please contact the service address on the warranty
card. In the back of this manual you find an exploded view showing the parts that can be
ordered.
Environment
To prevent damage during transport, the appliance is delivered in a solid packaging which
consists largely of reusable material. Therefore please make use of options for recycling the
packaging. NiCd cells are recyclable.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
h.
Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to
operate tool.
4) Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from intended could result in hazardous situation.
h.
Damaged switches must be replaced at a customer service repair centre. Do not use power
tools that cannot be switched on and off.
i.
Do not leave power tools unattended while they are switched on. Always switch off the tool
and wait until it has come to a full standstill before leaving.
j.
If the mains cable has been damaged, it must be replaced with a special mains cable.
These can be obtained from the manufacturer or the manufacturer's customer service
department. The mains cable may only be replaced by the manufacturer, the
manufacturer's customer service department or equally qualified persons.
5) Battery tool use and care
a.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery
pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
b.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. Acharger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
c.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
d.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns of a fire.
e.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritations or burns.
