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 charge the battery for more than 2 hours.
The battery will be fully charged in about 1 hour
and charging should be stopped when 1 hour has
elapsed from commencement. Disconnect the
charger power cord from the receptacle.
4. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
5. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
6. 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.
7. Do not dispose of the battery in fire.
If the battery is burnt, it may explode.
8. When drilling in wall, floor or ceiling, check for
buried electric power cord, etc.

of the charger.
Inserting metal objects or inflammables into the
