PRECAUTIONS FOR CORDLESS DRIVER DRILL

1. Always charge the battery at a temperature of 10 –
40°C. A temperature of less than 10°C will result in
over charging which is dangerous. The battery cannot
be charged at a temperature higher than 40°C.
The most suitable temperature for charging is that of
20 – 25°C.
2. When one charging is completed, leave the charger for
about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.
Do not charge more than two batteries consecutively.
3. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
5. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery. Short-
circuiting the battery will cause a great electric current
and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the
battery.
6. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re.
If the battery is burnt, it may explode.
7. When drilling in wall, fl oor or ceiling, check for buried
electric power cord, etc.
8. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was
purchased as soon as the post-charging battery life
becomes too short for practical use. Do not dispose of
the exhausted battery.
9. Using an exhausted battery will damage the charger.
10. Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the
charger.
Inserting metal objects or infl ammables into the
charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical
shock hazard or damaged charger.

In the cases of 1 and 2 described below, when using this
product, even if you are pulling the switch, the motor may
stop. This is not the trouble but the result of protection
function.
1. When the battery power remaining runs out, the motor
stops.
In such case, charge it up immediately.
2. If the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop. In this
case, release the switch of tool and eliminate causes
of overloading. After that, you can use it again.
Furthermore, please heed the following warning and
caution.

stop further recharging.
8. Do not put or subject the battery to high temperatures
or high pressure such as into a microwave oven, dryer,
or high pressure container.
9. Keep away from fi re immediately when leakage or foul
odor are detected.
10. Do not use in a location where strong static electricity
generates.
11. If any foul odor, overheating, discolor, deformation,
and/or
other
irregularities
use, charging and storage of the battery charger,
