Disposal Of An Exhausted Battery Pack; Problem Solution; Maintenance - Challenge CDT16180 Manual

drill bit into the work-piece, applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit drilling.
Do not force or apply side pressure to
elongate a hole.
Warning: When drilling in metal,
only use HSS drill bits in good
condition. Always use a magnetic bit
holder when using short screwdriver bits.
When screw-driving, apply a small quantity
of liquid soap or similar to the screw
threads to ease insertion.
7. BIT STORAGE
The bits provided with the drill can be
placed in the storage area located at the
side of the drill, slide in and out.
8. DISPOSAL OF AN EXHAUSTED
BATTERY PACK
To preserve natural resources, please
recycle or dispose of the battery
pack properly. This battery pack
contains nickel-cadmium batteries. Consult
your local waste authority for information
regarding available recycling and/or
disposal options. Discharge your battery
pack by operating your drill, then remove
the battery pack from the drill housing
and cover the battery pack connections
with heavy duty adhesive tape to prevent
short circuit and energy discharge. Do
not attempt to open or remove any of the
components.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

1. WHY DOES THE DRILL NOT TURN
ON WHEN YOU PRESS THE SWITCH?
The forward and reverse switch, which
is on top of the trigger, is positioned in
the lock function. Unlock the forward and
reverse switch putting it into the required
rotation position. Push the trigger and the
drill will start to rotate.
2. THE DRILL STOPS BEFORE THE
SCREW IS COMPLETELY TIGHTENED.
WHY?
Verify the torque position of the variable
clutch, you can find the variable clutch
between the chuck and the drill body.
10
Position 1 is the lowest torque (screw
driving force) and position 16 is the highest
torque (screw driving force). Position
for drill operation. Regulate the variable
clutch to a higher position to reach the best
result.
3. I CANNOT FIT THE BATTERY INTO
THE BATTERY CHARGER. WHY?
The battery can be inserted into the
charger only in one direction. Turn the
battery around until it can be inserted into
the slot.
4. REASONS FOR DIFFERENT
BATTERY PACK WORKING TIMES.
Charging time issues, as above, and
having not used a battery pack for a
prolonged time will reduce the working life
of the battery pack. This can be corrected
after several charge and discharge
operations by charging & working with
your drill. Heavy working conditions such
as large screws into hard wood will use up
the battery pack energy faster than lighter
working conditions. Do not re-charge your
battery pack below 0°C and above 30°C
as this will affect performance.

MAINTENANCE

Remove the battery pack from the tool
before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
Your tool requires no additional
lubrication or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your
tool, battery pack or charger. Never use
water or chemical cleaners to clean your
tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always
store your tool in a dry place. Keep the
motor ventilation slots clean. Occasionally
you may see sparks through the ventilation
slots. This is normal and will not damage
your power tool.
