Battery and charger safety features
The battery and charger are fitted with a number of safety features which may be triggered during
charging or operation:
• Over-charge protection: Charger automatically switches off when the battery has reached full
charge capacity, protecting the internal components of the battery
• Over-discharge protection: Prevents the battery from discharging beyond the recommended
lowest safety voltage
• Over-heat protection: Sensor switches off if the battery becomes too hot during operation.
This can happen if the tool is overloaded or being used for extended periods of time. Up to 30
minutes cooling time may be required depending on the ambient temperature
• Overload protection: Battery temporarily stops if it is overloaded or the maximum current draw is
exceeded, protecting the internal components. The battery will resume normal operation when
the current draw returns to a normal safe level. This may take a few seconds
• Short circuit protection: The battery will stop working immediately if a short circuit occurs, this
prevents damage to the battery or tool
Battery Safety
WARNING:
Li-Ion batteries, if incorrectly used, stored or charged are a fire, burn and
explosion hazard.
• Keep the battery out of reach of children
• ONLY charge Li-Ion batteries designed specifically for this charger
• ONLY use Li-Ion batteries provided with this product or specifically designed to be compatible
• Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause overheating or fire
• When not in use batteries should be stored at room temperature (approximately 20˚C)
• Ensure battery contacts cannot accidentally short in storage. Keep batteries clean; foreign objects
or dirt may cause a short. Keep away from other metal objects, for example paperclips, coins,
keys, nails and screws
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. This liquid may cause skin
irritation or burns. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, seek medical help
• DO NOT open, disassemble, crush, heat above 60°C or incinerate . Do not dispose of in
fire or similar

Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its
features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
Fitting a battery
1. To fit a charged battery, slide it into the Hand Grip (12) of the drill until it clicks and locks
into position
Note:
Make sure the Battery and impact drill are lined up correctly . If the Battery does not slide into
the impact drill easily, don’t force it . Instead, slide the Battery out of the impact drill, check the top
of Battery and the impact drill battery slot are clean and undamaged and that the contacts are not
bent then reinsert the Battery .
Removing a battery
• To remove the Battery (5), press the Battery Release (11) then slide the Battery off the Hand
Grip (12) (Fig. I)
WARNING:
DO NOT try to remove the Battery without pressing the Battery Release button. The drill
or Battery could be damaged .
Setting up the battery charger
1. If fitted, remove any battery from the Battery Charger (8)
2. Insert the DC plug of the Charger PSU (7) into the rear of the Battery Charger (8) (Fig. II)
3. Insert the mains plug of the Charger PSU into a suitable mains socket
Note:
The Green LED (10) on the Battery Charger will illuminate to indicate that the Charger is ready
to charge the Battery .
WARNING:
Use this Charger ONLY to charge the supplied Batteries or additional purchased
batteries that are specifically designed for this tool.
WARNING:
The Charger is designed for indoor use only, and MUST NOT be used in damp or
wet conditions.
Charging the battery
WARNING:
Failure to follow the correct procedure when charging Batteries will result in
permanent damage .
Note:
Batteries are an expendable supply whose capacity shortens over time. Always adhere to the
correct handling and charging instructions in the manual . If the battery does not hold charge or
working time is shortened, purchase a genuine Silverline replacement.
Note:
Normal charging time is 3 hours for a recently discharged battery. However, if the Battery (5)
has been left in a discharged state for some time, it may take up to 5 hours to charge .
1 . Slide a fully or partially discharged Battery into the Battery Charger (8) (Fig . III)
Note:
Make sure the Battery and Battery Charger are lined up correctly . If the Battery does not
slide into the Battery Charger easily, don’t force it . Instead, remove the Battery, check the top of
Battery and the Battery Charger slot are clean and undamaged and that the contacts are not bent
and reinsert the Battery .
2. The Red LED (9) will illuminate to indicate that the Battery is charging.
3. When the Battery is fully charged only the Green LED will be illuminated
NOTE:
If the LEDS illuminate in any other order than described this could indicate a fault with either
the Battery or Charger . Recheck the Battery is fully inserted into the Battery Charger . Remove any
material that may have fallen into the Battery Charger’s battery socket, and make sure the contacts
of both the Battery and the Battery Charger are clean, untarnished and not damaged or bent . If the
problem persists DO NOT use, have the Battery and Charger checked or replaced by an authorised
Silverline service centre .
Notes about battery charging:
• Ensure that the Battery Charger is disconnected from the mains supply after use, and is
stored correctly
• DO NOT leave batteries on charge for extended periods and NEVER store batteries on charge
• The Battery Charger monitors battery temperature and voltage while charging. Remove the
Battery once charging has been completed to maximise charge cycles of the battery and not
waste power
• The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge cycles, the Battery’s operation
time and the maximum torque performance of the drill will slightly reduce. This decline will
continue until the Battery has minimal capacity after 500 charge cycles . This is normal and not a
fault with the battery pack
