MAINTENANCE
BATTERIES
The battery pack for this tool is equipped with nickel-cadmium
rechargeable batteries. 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.
Do not disassemble battery pack
and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these
batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could
result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
n
Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully
charged and ready for use.
For battery storage longer than 30 days:
n
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
80°F.
n Store battery packs in a "discharged" condition.
BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND
PREPARATION FOR RECYCLING
To preserve natural resources, please
recycle or dispose of batteries
properly.
This product contains nickel-cadmium
batteries. Local, state or federal laws
may prohibit disposal of nickel-cadmium
batteries in ordinary trash.
Consult your local waste authority for information regarding
available recycling and/or disposal options.
WARNING:
Upon removal, cover the battery pack’s termi-
nals with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not at-
tempt to destroy or disassemble battery pack or
remove any of its components. Nickel-cadmium
batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Also,
never touch both terminals with metal objects and/or
body parts as short circuit may result. Keep away from
children. Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in fire and/or serious injury.
TIGHTENING THE CHUCK
See Figures 14 - 15.
The chuck may become loose on the spindle and begin
to shake when using the drill. Also, the chuck screw may
become loose causing the chuck jaws to bind and prevent
them from closing.
n
Lock the trigger switch by placing the rotation selector
in center position.
n Open the chuck jaws.
n Insert the hex key wrench into the chuck and tighten
the chuck jaws securely.
n Tap the hex key wrench sharply with a mallet in a
clockwise direction. This will tighten chuck on the
spindle.
n Open the chuck jaws and remove the hex key wrench.
n Tighten the chuck screw.
NOTE: The chuck screw has left-handed threads.
