4.The battery charging time is approximately 3 – 5 hours. When the red and yellow LED go out leaving the green LED glowing the charging cycle is complete.

Turn off the charger power supply from the mains and then remove the battery pack (5) from the charger base (11).

During the charging cycle, you will hear a clicking noise coming from the battery pack. This is normal and is not an issue of concern.

Both the battery pack and the charger may become warm to touch. This is also normal and not an issue of concern. Both the battery pack and charger are fitted with thermal safety devices and they will shut down if the temperatures become too high.

To obtain the best life for the battery

Never allow the drill to come to a complete stand still before recharging. The battery should be placed on charge whenever the battery is noticeably running down or the drill no longer performs a task it previously performed.

Avoid conducting short charges. Make sure that the battery

is fully charged every time by allowing the charger to complete its full charging cycle.

Avoid allowing lose items like screws or nails etc. to be stored with battery packs as these or similar items can short battery packs and cause a fire or explosion.

Always unplug the charger when not in use and store in a dry secure place.

Avoid charging or storing your battery in temperatures below 0ºC and above 40ºC.

Battery indicator

The battery indicator automatically operates when the trigger switch

(3)is pressed in/activated and displays the LED lights. The LED lights indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery.

The table below explains the levels of charge (low, medium and high).

or recharging. If the task is being carried on with the cooled down battery you must first reduce the load

being applied to the drill, which would have caused the overheating of the pack (use a new drill bit or

 

 

 

 

 

 

sharpen the drill bit and allow the bit to do the cutting and reduce the amount of force placed on the drill).

 

 

 

If the battery pack cools down and the status remains unchanged then the battery pack is

 

 

 

defective/damaged and should not be used.

WARNING: Never use a damaged battery pack.
