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).
•

the battery (5) does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted

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.
