PREPARATION
Unpacking Your Tool
Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself
with all its features and functions.
Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good
condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such
parts replaced before attempting to use this tool.
Before Use
• This drill driver has been shipped in a low charge
condition. Charge the battery before use
Battery charger operation
• The charger and battery may become warm while
charging. This is normal and does not indicate a prob-
lem
• Use the charger at normal room temperatures when-
ever possible. To prevent overheating, do not cover the
charger and do not charge the battery in direct sunlight
or near sources of heat
If the battery does not charge properly:
• Check current at power outlet by plugging in a lamp or
other appliance
• If charging problems persist, have the drill, battery and
battery charger checked by an electrician or a power
tool technician
Charging the battery
1. Depress the Battery Release Grips (6) and remove the
battery from the tool
2. Insert the battery into the Battery Charger (11). Do
not use excessive force when inserting the battery. If it
does not slide into place easily, it is not being inserted
correctly
NOTE: Initially only the green LED may flash as it evaluates
the status of the battery. When charging the red LED will
illuminate and the green LED will be OFF. When the battery
is fully charged the red LED will be OFF and the green LED
will illuminate. The battery charger will constantly monitor
the condition of the battery when charging
3. Remove the battery as soon as possible when com-
pletely charged
4. Disconnect the charger from the power supply and
store in a clean, dry environment, out of the reach of
children
• Normal battery charging time is approximately 1 hour
for a recently discharged battery at normal temperature
• Charging times may vary ie; initial first charge when
new or using the optional high capacity battery
• It is not necessary to completely discharge the bat-
tery before recharging but you should not attempt to
recharge a battery that is already fully charged
• Battery charging can be interrupted at any point to
use the battery. Under normal conditions the charger
charges at a higher rate, reducing the charging rate as
the battery approaches full charge. An 80% charge is
achieved after 1/2hr of charging
3.0Ah High Capacity Battery (optional accessory)
• A high capacity battery is available that provides double
the capacity. It also allows the drill driver to stand
vertically which may be advantageous for some uses.
Please note the full charging time will be approximately
120 minutes for the high capacity battery.
Battery Charging Table
NOTE: If the lights on the battery charger fail to illuminate
according to the chart above, or indicate a fault condition:
• Check the battery is firmly seated in the battery charger
• Check all connections and that mains power is
switched on
Initial charge
• The initial charge will vary depending on the existing
charge in the battery. Allow the battery to reach full
charge as indicated on the charger
• After discharging, recharge the battery completely, as
indicated by the LED on the battery charger, for the next
4 to 5 uses. This will ensure that the battery is perform-
ing to its highest capacity
• Subsequent full charges will take approximately 1 hour,
however the battery can be recharged when the battery
is only partially discharged
Re-charging the battery
• After use, a lithium-ion battery must be allowed to cool
down before charging
