f Avoid touching the tip of a drill bit just after drilling, as
it may be hot.

USING AN EXTENSION CORD

In case an extension cord is needed, it needs to be an
approved extension cord suitable for the tool power (see

Charging the battery (Fig. D)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and
whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs
that were easily done before. A new battery, or a battery
that has not been used for an extended period of time,
achieves full performance only after approx. 5 charging
and discharging cycles. The battery may become warm
while charging; this is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
After normal use, a charging time of 6~9 hours will
provide sufficient power for most applications. However,
further charging passed to 180 minutes could significantly
increase the use time, depending on the battery and
