by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, 
grease, etc.

gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating

condition leading to possible serious personal

BATTERIES
Your drill's battery pack is equipped with 8 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. 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 
bum.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest
the following:
■
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area. 
Temperatures above 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.
Ni-Cd
To preserve natural resources, please
recycle or dispose of expired battery
pack properly.
This product contains nickel-cadmium 
battery. Must be disposed of properly. 
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. 
Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble battery 
pack or remove any of its components. Nickel
cadmium batteries must be recycled or disposed 
of properly. Also, never touch both teiminals with 
metal objects and/or body parts as short circuit 
may result. Keep away from children. Failure to 
comply with these warnings could result in fire 
and/or serious injury.
