OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation / Operating Instructions
Re-charging the battery
• After use, a lithium-ion battery must be allowed to cool
down before charging
• If a hot battery is inserted into the charger both LEDs
will illuminate. The charger will begin to charge when
the battery has cooled sufficiently (this may take
several minutes)
Installing the battery
• The battery should fit easily into the battery charger or
impact driver unit. If the battery is difficult to fit, check
the condition of the battery and contacts
Battery - length of service
The length of service from each charging cycle will depend
on the type of workload. The battery charger and battery
for this drill have been designed to provide a long trouble-
free working life. The charger intelligently monitors the
condition of the battery and selects the ideal charging rate
for the condition of the battery. It protects the battery from
over-charging or charging at too high a rate. However, like
all batteries, performance will be reduced over time.
To maximise battery life:
• Store and charge the battery in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room temperature
will reduce battery life
• Never store lithium-ion batteries in a discharged
condition. Recharge them immediately after they are
discharged. For storing long term, store fully charged
• All batteries gradually lose their charge, even lithium-
ion batteries, but the discharge rate is very low. If
the drill is stored for long periods of time without use,
recharge the battery every three to four months and
disconnect the battery from the power tool before it is
stored. This practice will prevent the lithium-ion battery
from becoming damaged if left fully discharged for a
long period of time
• Warning: Never fit any attachment with a maximum
speed lower than the no load speed of the machine.
NOTE: Wear gloves when handling bits or accessories
which are sharp or remain hot after use
Fitting a driver bit
1. Pull the Quick Release Mechanism (2) forward and
insert the bit into the quick release 6mm / ¼" Hex Drive
(1)
2. Release the quick release mechanism
3. Pull on the bit to check that it is securely fitted. If the bit
is not secure, repeat the above procedure
NOTE: Make sure screwdriver bits used are hardened and
suitable for use with an impact driver
Direction control
• The direction of rotation can be set using the Forward/
Reverse Selector (3)
• To rotate the impact driver clockwise, push the forward/
reverse selector to the left
• To rotate the impact driver anti-clockwise, push the
forward/reverse selector to the right
• When the forward/reverse selector is in the central
position, the impact driver is locked
• Do not attempt to move the forward/reverse selector
when the tool is running
Switching on
• To start the impact driver, squeeze the Trigger Switch
(6). The LED Guide Light (7) will illuminate automatically
• Further pressure on the trigger will increase the running
speed of the tool
• Practice using the impact driver before using it for
normal applications
NOTE: It is possible the impact driver may switch off
during heavy use due to thermal protection of the battery
and internal components. This may prevent the tool being
used again for a short period of time and doesn’t represent
a fault
