CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES (cont.)
Battery
The length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work
you are doing. The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide
maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually
wear out.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
•
Store and charge your batteries 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 tool for long
periods of time without using it recharge the batteries every month or
two. This practice will prolong battery life.
The ON/OFF Switch
Turn the drill ON by depressing the switch. To turn the tool OFF, release
the switch.
Speed Control
The speed can be varied from 0 to maximum, depending on the pressure
applied to the switch. This way you can select the best possible speed for
the job being done.
Changing the Direction of Rotation
With the incorporated reversing switch installed in your drill the direction
of rotation can be changed with the forward / reverse lever.
Push the forward / reverse lever to the right, this will place the drill in the
forward position. To engage reverse, push the lever to the left.
The switch can be locked off by pushing the forward / reverse lever into
the middle of both forward and reverse positions.
Do not change the direction of rotation while the chuck is still in motion.
