Charging
The Battery Pack (44) requires charg- 1.
ing before the initial use. The recom-
mended initial charge time is eight
hours, prior to initial use of the Cord-
less Drill/Driver. Place the Charger
on a solid surface such as a garage
floor; never on anything flammable.
note: Always switch to a fresh battery
when tool performance begins to
diminish. Severe heat is destructive
to batteries; the more heat generated,
the faster the battery will lose power.
A battery that gets too hot can be
permanently damaged. Never over-
discharge a battery by using the tool
after performance decreases. Never
attempt to discharge a battery by
continuing to pull the trigger. When
tool performance begins to diminish,
stop the tool, recharge the battery,
and use a fully charged battery for
optimal performance.
When the Battery Pack-after initial

charge for three to five hours in order
to operate at full power.
