OPERATION
WARNING:
Exercise caution when using this tool. Careless actions,
for even a fraction of a second, can result in serious
personal injury.
CHARGING YOUR DRILL-DRIVER
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low
charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore,
you should charge it prior to use.
Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they
are charged. Allow several cycles (drilling followed by re-
charging) for them to fully charge.
TO CHARGE
■ Charge battery pack only with the charger provided.
■ Make sure power supply is normal house voltage,
120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
■ Connect charger to power supply.
■ Place battery pack in charger. See Figure 8. Align
raised rib on battery pack with groove in charger.
■ Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts on
battery pack engage properly with contacts in charger.
When properly connected, red light will turn on.
■ Normally, the yellow and green lights on the charger
will come on. This indicates charger is in control charge
mode and should switch to fast charge mode within 5
minutes. When charger is in fast charge mode the red
light will come on. If after a period of 15 minutes the
yellow and green lights remain on, remove the battery
pack, wait 1 minute and re-insert battery pack in charger.
If the yellow and green lights continue to remain on an
additional 15 minutes, the battery pack is damaged
and will not accept charge.
■ When your battery pack becomes fully charged, the
red light will turn off and the green light will turn on.
■ After normal usage, 1 hour of charge time is required to
be fully charged. A minimum charge time of 1 to 1-1/2
hours is required to recharge a completely discharged
tool.
■ The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
■ DO NOT place charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
