Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not
overload.
Charging the battery (fig. A)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and
whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that
were easily done before. The battery may become warm
while charging; this is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient tem-
peratures below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended
charging temperature: approx. 24 °C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell
temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above
40 °C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the
charger will begin to charge automatically when the
cell temperature warms up or cools down.
To charge the battery (5), insert it into the charger (7).
u
The battery will only fit into the charger in one way. Do
not force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the
charger.
Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains.
u
The charging indicator (8) will blink.
The charge is complete when the charging indicator (8)
switches to continuously on. The charger and the battery
can be left connected indefinitely. The LED will switch on
as the charger occasionally tops up the battery charge.
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery
u
life will be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged
state.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with
the LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged.
Selecting the direction of rotation (fig. D)
For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward
(clockwise) rotation. For loosening screws or removing a
jammed drill bit, use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.
