BEFORE OPERATION
1. CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
a) Do not use any charger other than that specifically provided for
use with the equipment.
b) If the battery pack is very hot you must remove your battery pack
from the charger and allow time for the battery to cool down before
recharging.
c) The battery in your new tool is not charged when it leaves the
plant. Therefore it must be full charged before using the first time.
d) Please charge the battery to reach full or no less than half charge
before storage. If the tool will not be used for long periods of time,
charge the battery every 3-6 months.
CHARGING PROCEDURE (SEE FIG. A1)
1) Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet. The light will be green.
2) Slide the battery pack into the charger, the light will turn to red to
indicate the charging process has started.
3) When charging is completed, the light will turn to green. The pack
is now fully charged, unplug the charger and remove the battery
pack.
CHARGING INDICATOR
This charger is designed to detect some problems that can arise
with battery packs. Indicator lights indicate problems (see table
below). If this occurs, insert a new battery pack to determine if the
charger is OK. If the new battery charges correctly, then the original
pack is defective and should be returned to a service center or
recycling service center. If the new battery pack displays the same
problem as the original Battery Pack, have the charger tested at an
authorized service center.

Depress the on/off switch to start and release it to stop your tool.
The on/off switch is fitted with a brake function which stops your
chuck immediately when you quickly release the switch.
It is also a variable speed switch that delivers higher speed and
torque with increased trigger pressure. Speed is controlled by the
amount of switch trigger depression.
WARNING: Do not operate for long periods at
low speed because excess heat will be
produced internally. When overload occurs, release
the on/off switch immediately to avoid the motor
overheating.
3. SWITCH LOCK
The on/off switch can be locked in the OFF position. This helps to
reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not in use. To
