ENGLISH
change to flashing (charging) state, as the charger
occasionally "tops off" the battery charge.
The charging indicator (10) will be lit as long as the
battery pack is connected to the plugged-in charger.
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life
will be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Charge indicators
If the charger detects a problem with a battery pack, the
charge indicator (10) will flash at a fast rate.
If this occurs, re-insert the battery pack (8).
If the problem persists, put a different battery pack in the
charger to determine if the charger is OK.
If the new battery pack charges correctly, then the
original battery pack is defective and should be returned
to a service centre for recycling.
If the new battery pack gives the same indication as the
original, take the charger to be tested at an authorized
service centre.
Note: It may take as long as fifteen minutes to determine that
the pack is defective.
If the battery pack is too hot or too cold, the LED will
alternately blink fast and slow, one flash at each speed and
repeat.
Battery chargers - daisy chaining (fig. C)
Single and dual port chargers can be electrically connected
in any order up to a maximum of 4 chargers. Each charger
has a power-in cord (11) which plugs into the electrical outlet
and a power-out cord (12) which plugs into the next charger.
To connect the chargers in a daisy chain:
Plug the power-in cord (11) into an electrical outlet.
Remove the power-in cord from the next charger and
plug in the power-out cord (12) from the charger that is
now plugged into the outlet.
Repeat this process for the remaining chargers.
Chargers that are daisy chained together operate
independently as though each one was plugged into a
separate outlet, therefore a battery can be removed from
anywhere along the daisy chain without affecting the other
chargers.
Use
Switching on and off (fig. D)
To switch the tool on, press the on/off trigger switch (7).
To switch the tool off, release the on/off trigger
switch (7).
A forward/reverse control button (4) determines the
direction of the tool and also serves as a lock off button.
6
To select forward rotation, release the on/off trigger
switch (7) and move the forward/reverse control button
(4) to the left.
To select reverse direction, move the forward/reverse
control button (4) in the opposite direction.
The centre position of the control button (4) locks the
tool in the off position. Make sure that the on/off trigger
switch (7) is released before changing the position of
the forward/reverse control button (4).
Torque control (fig. D)
Your tool is fitted with an 8 position collar (2) to select the
operating mode and to set the torque for tightening screws.
Large screws and hard workpiece materials require a higher
torque setting than small screws and soft workpiece
materials.
For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar (2)
to the drilling position symbol.
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If
you do not know the appropriate setting, proceed as
follows:
Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
Tighten the first screw.
If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is
achieved, increase the collar setting and continue
tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct
setting. Use this setting for the remaining screws.
High/low speed selector (fig. D)
The 2-speed feature of your drill allows for greater versatility.
To select the low speed, high torque setting (position 1),
turn the tool off and allow it to stop. Move the speed
selector button (3) to the right.
To select the high speed, low torque setting (position 2),
turn the tool off and allow it to stop. Move the speed
selector button (3) to the left.
Warning! Do not move the speed selector button with the
tool switched on.
Keyless chuck (fig. E)
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
Hold the chuck (1) and rotate it in a counter clockwise
direction, as viewed from the chuck end.
Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and
tighten securely by rotating the chuck (1) in the
clockwise direction.
Warning! Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other
accessory) by gripping the chuck and turning the tool on or
damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur.
