safety glasses with side shields when operating
tools. Failure to do so could result in objects

inflict severe 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 until light on front of
charger changes from red to green.

Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (drilling
followed by recharging) for them to become fully
charged,
