BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
RIDGID 12 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with features
that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life.
Under some operating conditions, these built-in features
may cause the battery and the tool it is powering to act
differently from nickel-cadmium batteries.
During some applications, the battery electronics may signal
the battery to shut down, and cause the tool to stop running.
To reset the battery and tool, release the trigger and resume
normal operation.
NOTE: To prevent further shut down of the battery, avoid
forcing the tool. Switching to a lower speed will also prevent
shut down.
If releasing the trigger does not reset the battery and tool,
the battery pack is depleted. If depleted, the battery pack
will begin charging when placed on the lithium-ion charger.
For complete charging instructions, refer to the Operator’s
Manual for the battery packs and chargers for your models.
WARNING:
Always remove battery pack from your tool when
you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery
pack will prevent accidental starting that could
cause serious personal injury.
TO INS TALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2, page 12.
To install:

Lock the switch trigger on the drill by placing the direc-
tion of rotation (forward/reverse/center lock) selector in
center position.

Place battery pack in the drill. Align raised rib on battery
pack with the groove inside the drill.

Make sure the latch on the back of the battery pack snaps
in place and battery pack is secured in the drill before
beginning operation.
To remove:

Lock the switch trigger on the drill by placing the direction
of rotation selector in center position.
 Depress the latches on the side of battery pack to release
battery pack from the drill.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition.
Therefore, switch should always be locked when
not in use or carrying at your side.
LED LIGHT
See Figure 3, page 12.
The LED light, located above the switch trigger, illuminates
when the switch trigger is depressed.
If the drill is not in use, the time-out feature will cause the
light to start fading and then shut off.
La lampe DÉL s’allume seulement lorsqu’un bloc-piles
chargé se trouve dans l’outil.
The LED light illuminates only when there is a charged bat-
tery pack in the tool.
If the LED light flashes during operation, this indicates a low
battery charge condition. The drill will still operate normally,
but the battery should be recharged soon to prevent shut-
down of the tool.
SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 4, page 12.
To turn the drill ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF, release the switch trigger.
VARIABLE SPEED
See Figure 4, page 12.
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
NOTE: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from the
switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a normal
part of the switch function.
