Thermal
voltage
protection
indication
In
the
event
that
the
thermal
or
voltage
protection
circuit
has
been
activated
the
battery
will
cease
to
operate.
This
can
happen
when
the
tool
has
been
used
for
extended
periods
or
worked
hard
with
large
drill
bits
or
accessories.
If
you
place
the
battery
on
the
charger
the
LED
lights
will
give
you
the
appearance
that
the
battery
is
fully
charged.
Leave
the
battery
on
the
charger
to
charge
for
90
minutes.
The
battery
may
take
the
full
90
minutes
to
charge
as
the
battery
may
need
to
cool
down
or
the
protection
circuit
to
be
reset.
This
will
then
allow
the
charger
to
begin
charging
the
battery
and
resume
normal
operation.
Always
switch
off
the
drill
before
insertion
or
removal
of
the
battery
(5).
Installing
the
Battery
•
Holding
the
drill
upright
and
picking
up
the
battery
(5)
in
your
opposite
hand.
Place
two
fingers
over
the
battery
release
buttons
(6)
and
insert
the
battery
(5)
until
it
clicks
into
place
(See
Fig.
2).
•
Do
not
use
excessive
force
when
inserting
the
battery
(5).
If
the
battery
(5)
does
not
slide
in
easily,
it
is
not
being
inserted
correctly.
It
is
also
possible
that
there
could
be
damage
to
the
battery
(5),
battery
terminals
or
the
drill.
Removing
the
Battery
Depress
both
the
battery
release
buttons
(6)
and
gently
pull
the
battery
(5)
out
of
the
drill.
Battery
The
length
of
service
from
each
charging
cycle
will
depend
on
the
type
of
work
you
are
doing.
The
battery
(5)
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
battery
(5)
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.
Variable
Speed
Switch
Turn
the
drill
ON
by
depressing
the
variable
speed
switch
(7)
.
To
turn
the
drill
OFF
release
the
variable
speed
switch
(7)
(See
Fig.
3).
The
speed
can
be
varied
from
0
to
maximum
in
either
gear,
depending
on
the
pressure
applied
to
the
variable
speed
switch
(8).
This
way
you
can
select
the
best
possible
speed
for
the
job
required.
