CHARGER AND BATTERY PACK SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
•
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an
improper extension cord could result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way. Have it checked by an electrician or power
tool repairer.
•
Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an electrician or power tool repairer
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembling may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fire.
•
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
•
Never attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
•
DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed 40ºC (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer).
•
The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power
(240 volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage!
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the safety
instructions and then follow the charging notes and procedures.
•
The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is
charged when the air temperature is between 18 - 24ºC. Do not charge the
battery pack in an air temperature below 10ºC or above 40ºC. This is important
and will prevent damage to the battery pack.
•
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or is
completely worn out. The battery can explode in a fire.
•
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the
battery pack breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of the battery pack.
To Install the Battery Pack
•
Place battery pack on a hard surface like a bench/table. Align slots on the base
of the drill handle with the battery. Slide the drill onto the battery ensuring the
battery release button locks into place.
•
Do not use excessive force when inserting the battery pack. If the battery pack
does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly. It is also possible that
there could be damage to the battery, battery terminals or drill.
To Remove the Battery Pack
•
Depress both the release buttons on the battery and slide the drill off the battery.
