4. Important notes:
Be sure to read the following information before you
use your cordless hammer drill for the first time:
1.
The replaceable NC battery pack for the cord-
less hammer drill is not charged when de-
livered. The battery pack has to be charged be-
fore you use the cordless hammer drill for the
first time.
2.
Charge the battery pack with the supplied
charger. It takes approx. 1 hour to charge an
empty battery. Never use the supplied charger
to charge any other tools or appliances.
3.
The battery pack reaches its maximum capacity
after approx. five discharge/charge cycles.
4.
Ni-Cd batteries will also discharge when they
are not in use. It is recommended, therefore, to
charge the batteries regularly.
5.
Please note the data quoted on the rating plate
of the battery charger. Operate the charger only
from the same mains voltage as that quoted on
the rating plate.
6.
In periods of heavy duty the battery pack will
grow warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to
room temperature before starting to charge it.
5. Loading the Ni-Cd battery pack
1.
To remove the battery pack from the handle,
slide back the pushlock button and hold it in this
position (9) while you pull the battery pack
down and out..
2.
Check that your mains voltage is the same as
that quoted on the rating plate. Insert the
charger in a socket-outlet.
3.
Insert the battery pack in the charging adapter.
The red LED indicates that the battery pack is
being charged. It takes a maximum of 1 hour
to charge an empty battery. The battery pack
may grow warm while it is being charged. This
is normal. The green LED on the charging
adapter indicates the presence of charging
voltage.
If the battery pack fails to become charged, please
check
whether there is voltage at the socket-outlet
whether there is proper contact at the charging
contacts on the charger.
If the battery still fails to become charged, please
return
the charger
the battery pack
to our Customer Service Department.
To ensure that the NC battery pack provides long
service, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge it when you find that the power of
the cordless hammer drill drops.
Never allow the battery pack to discharge
completely. This will result in damage to the Ni-Cd
battery pack!
