Fitting And Removing The Battery Pack
WARNING.
Ensure the battery is
inserted straight into the drill and
never on an angle.
To remove the battery pack from
the drill firmly press the battery
pack release tabs (5) at either
side of the battery pack, and pull
the battery pack out of the tool.
To fit the battery pack, slide the
battery pack into the drill until the release tabs (5) lock the
battery into place. The battery should slide fully on to the
drill foot until the battery pack latches “click” into position.
Battery Charging
IMPORTANT.
Before inserting into or removing the battery
pack (6) from the battery charger cradle (7) always ensure
that the plug is not in the mains socket.
ATTENTION.
Never charge the battery for longer than 7
hours. Doing so will void battery warranty.
1. Insert the charger plug (6) into
the socket on the side of the
charger stand (7).
2. Connect the battery charger to
a suitable power supply socket
and switch on the power.
Note.
The green LED power
indicator (9) will show there is
power going to the charger.
3. Insert the battery into the
charger socket taking care that
the battery pack tabs align with
the guides in the charger. It
should fit easily. Do not force.
Check that the battery pack is
firmly seated in the charger.
Note.
The red LED charge indicator (10) will show that the
battery is correctly inserted into the charger cradle and is
on charge. The battery charge time is approximately 5 to 7
hours. If the red indicator light does not come ON, check to
make sure the battery pack is inserted fully into the charger
cradle and the electrical outlet is working properly.
Note.
The red light will switch off when the battery is fully
charged, indicating the battery is no longer charging.
A further indication for a fully charged battery is the
temperature of the pack, which becomes fairly warm as the
battery becomes fully charged.
Important Charging Information
WARNING.
Never leave a battery on charge once it starts
to warm up.
If you wish to charge a second battery pack, pull out the
plug from the mains supply and keep it disconnected for at
least 15 minutes before attempting to charge the second
battery.
To Obtain The Best Life For The Battery
Never allow the drill to come to a complete stand still
before recharging. The battery should be placed on charge
whenever the battery is noticeably running down or the drill
no longer performs a task it previously performed.
Avoid conducting short charges. Make sure that the
battery is fully charged every time by charging for the
recommended charge time (5–7 hours).Avoid allowing lose
items like screws or nails etc. to be stored with battery
packs as these or similar items can short battery packs and
cause a fire or explosion.
Always unplug the charger when not in use and store in a
dry secure place.
Avoid charging or storing your battery in temperatures below
-10ºC and above 40ºC.
