Removing / Attaching Battery Pack, Charger

BATTERY

Before using battery pack, please read carefully all instruc- tions and cautionary markings on battery pack, battery charger and product using battery.

®	Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely dam-

	aged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can explode.

Do not carry battery packs in aprons, pockets, or tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose metal objects. Battery pack terminals could be short circuited causing damage to the battery pack, severe burns or fire.

The battery pack is Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) and is considered to be a toxic material by the Environmental Protection Agency. Before disposing of damaged or worn out Ni-Cad battery packs, check with your State Environmental Protection Agency to find out about special restrictions on the disposal of these battery packs, take them to your local recycling center for proper disposal, or call 1-800-822-8837.

The battery is not fully charged. Before first use, the battery pack requires 8-10 hours charge time to be fully charged. Subsequent recharging needs 3-5 hours for the battery to be fully charged.

Always switch to a fresh battery when tool performance begins to diminish. Severe heat is most destructive to a battery; the more heat generated, the faster the battery loses power. A battery that gets too hot can have a shortened life.

Never over-discharge a battery by using the tool even after tool performance has decreased. Do not attempt to discharge a tool’s battery by continuing to pull on the tool trigger. When tool performance begins to diminish, stop the tool and recharge the battery for optimal performance.

Charge battery pack at ambient temperatures between 50° F – 104° F.

Store tool and battery pack in locations where temperatures will not exceed 120°F. This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.

The battery pack should always be recharged when the Cordless Drill begins to run slowly.

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or fire.

REMOVING / ATTACHING BATTERY PACK

CHARGER

Before using battery charger, please read carefully all instructions and cautionary markings on battery charger, battery pack and product using battery.

The charger will not automatically turn “OFF” when the battery pack is fully charged. The charging indicator light will remain “ON” until the charger is disconnected from the electrical outlet.

Use only the charger which accompanied your product or direct replacement as listed in this manual. Do not substitute any other charger. Use only Alltrade approved chargers with your product.

Do not disassemble charger.

Do not use charger if it has been damaged, left outdoors in the rain, snow, wet or damp environments, or immersed in liquid.

The battery pack and charger heat during charging. Place the charger on a flat, non-flammable surface away from flammable materials with at least four inches of clearance to allow proper air circulation around the charger and battery pack.

When the battery pack requires recharging, a 3-5 hour charge allows the tool to operate at full power. A charging indicator light on the charger will illuminate to

show that charging is taking place.	10
