WEN 49112 Apex Pro 12V Lithium Ion Drill/Driver - Manual (Page 8)

The battery has an internal thermister cut off censor which will cease the charging cycle if the battery becomes hot
during the charging process. This thermister censor will also stop the battery from operating should the battery
become too hot during the operation of the tool. This can happen when the tool is overloaded or being used for
extended periods of time.
Up to 30 minutes in cooling time may be required depending on ambient temperature and operation being performed.
OVER CURRENT PROTECTION
Should the battery be overloaded and the maximum current draw be exceeded, the battery will temporarily stop
working to protect the internal components. The battery will resume to normal operation once the excessive current
draw has returned to normal safe level. This may take a few seconds.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
If the battery pack was to short circuit the short circuit protector would immediately stop the battery pack from
operating.
This will ensure that no further internal components of the battery or the tool is damaged.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK

TRIGGER SWITCH & REVERSING BUTTON
The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing the trigger switch
(1). The farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill.
A forward/reverse control button (2) determines the direction of the tool

To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the
forward/reverse control button to the left.
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control button the opposite

NOTE: The center position of the control button locks the tool in the off
position. When changing the position of the control button, be sure the
trigger is released.

To stop the Drill Driver, release the trigger switch and allow the tool to come to a complete stop.
The electric brake quickly stops rotating. This feature engages automatically when you release the trigger switch.
TWO-SPEED GEAR BOX SWITCH
The drill has a two-speed gear box switch designed for drilling or driving at LOW or HIGH speeds. A slide switch is
located on the top of the drill to select either LOW or HIGH speed.
