BATTERIES
The battery pack for the drili-driver is equipped with
nickei-cadmium rechargeabie batteries. Length of
service from each charging wiii depend on the type of
work you are doing.
The batteries in this tooi have been designed to
provide maximum troubie 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:
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures below 50°F or above 100°F will
shorten battery life.
Never store batteries in a discharged condition.
Recharge them immediately after they are
discharged.
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The
higher the temperature the quicker they lose their
charge. If you store your tool for long periods of
time without using it, recharge the batteries every
month or two. This practice will prolong battery
life.
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.
BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND
PREPARATION FOR RECYCLING
A WARNING: Upon removal, cover the battery
pack's terminals with heavy duty adhesive tape.

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
