ENGLISH
Hot/cold pack delay
When the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot or
excessively cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery has normalized. After
this happens, the charger automatically switches to the Pack
Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
The light flashes in the pattern indicated on the label.
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. This charger features
an automatic tune-up mode which equals or balances the
individual cells in the battery pack to allow it to function at
peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or
whenever the battery no longer delivers the same amount
of work. To use the automatic tune-up mode, place the
battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours.
Important charging notes
Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
u
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 18 ° – 24 °C. DO NOT charge the battery pack in
an air temperature below +4.5 °C), or above +40 °C.
This is important and will prevent serious damage to the
battery pack.
The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
u
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulated trailer.
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
u
Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
u
or other appliance;
Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
u
switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights;
Move the charger and battery pack to a location where
u
the surrounding air temperature is approximately 18 °
– 24 °C;
If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
u
pack and charger to your local service center.
The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
u
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse effect on the battery pack.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
u
not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles

u
the trigger switch (1). The farther the trigger is depressed,
the higher the speed of the drill.
A forward/reverse control button (2) determines the
u
direction of the tool and also serves as a lock off button.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and
u
depress the forward/reverse control button to the left.
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control
u
button the opposite direction.
Note: The center position of the control button locks the tool
in the off position. When changing the position of the control
button, be sure the trigger is released.
Torque control (Fig. E)
This tool is fitted with a torque adjustment collar (3) 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 to
u
the drilling position symbol
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If
u
you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed
as follows:
Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
u
Tighten the first screw.
u
If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is achieved,
u
increase the collar setting and continue tightening the
screw. Repeat until you reach the correct setting. Use this
setting for the remaining screws.
