Upon removal, cover the battery terminals with heavy
duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or
disassemble batteries or remove any of its components.
Nickel-cadmium batteries must be recycled or disposed

BATTERIES
Your screwdriver is equipped with 2 nickel-cadmium
rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging
will depend on the type of work you are doing.
The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide
maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they
will eventually wear out. To remove batteries, follow BATTERY
REMOVAL instructions. 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 above or below normal room temperature
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.
