Operation - Delta CL180 Instruction Manual

TWO-SPEED GEAR SHIFT
The Model CL144 Cordless Drill/
Driver has a two-speed gear shift
which provides
ranges as shown in Fig. 3A. To
change speed ranges: release trig-
ger switch to stop motor and then
slide speed selector (A) Fig. 4,
toward rear for HIGH speed or
toward front for LOW speed.
The low speed position is normally
used when drilling larger holes and
when driving or removing screws.
The high speed position is normally
used for drilling small holes.
DRIVER BIT STORAGE
Convenient storage areas with
retaining clip (B) Fig. 4, for screw-
driver bits are provided on each side
of the tool.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK GENERAL
Before using your cordless Drill/Driver for the first time, the battery pack
should be fully charged. If the battery pack is installed in the Drill/Driver,
remove it by following instructions under INSTALLING OR REMOVING BAT-
TERY PACK.
As a battery pack approaches the discharged state, you will notice a sharp
drop in tool performance. When the tool is unable to perform the task at hand,
it is time to recharge the battery pack. Recharging the battery pack before this
condition is reached will reduce the total work life of the pack. Discharging the
pack beyond this point can damage the pack.
NOTE: Battery temperature will increase during and shortly after use.
Batteries may not accept a full charge if they are charged immediately
after use. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before
charging for best results.
The battery charger must rest on the four pads provided on the bot-
tom of the case. Vent slots in top and bottom of charger must not be obstructed.
Do not charge battery when temperature is BELOW 40°F (4.4°C) or ABOVE 104°F
(40°C).
NORMAL CHARGING
Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the charger
specification plate. Connect charger to power source. The orange light (A) Fig.
5, should light up. This indicates the charger is ready to begin charging.
Position battery pack on charger, align rails (D) Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, on battery
charger with four tabs (C) Fig. 6 on battery pack. Slide battery forward onto
charger until it stops.
The red light (B) Fig. 5, should begin to glow continuously, indicating that the
battery pack is receiving a "Fast Charge" (if the red light does not glow contin-
uously, and the green light (C) Fig. 5, begins to glow: remove battery and re-
insert when battery temperature is between 40°F (4.4°C) and 104°F (40°C). After
approximately one hour, the "Fast Charge" indicator light (red) should go out
indicating that the battery pack is fully charged and that the charger is now in a
"Trickle Charge" mode (green light). The battery pack can be left on "Trickle
Charge" until you are ready to use it.
