To obtain the best life for the battery
For battery storage and when the drill is not being used, it is advised to charge the battery to approximately half charge. Leaving the battery in the fully charged condition can shorten the cell life.
Short charging is acceptable with these cells. Prevent constant overloading of the drill.
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, using or storing your battery in temperatures below 0ºC and above 40ºC.
Using the drill
Use the forward/reverse switch
(4)to select the direction of rotation, then pull the trigger
(3).This trigger switch is an electronic variable speed control which enables the user to vary the speed continuously. The speed varies according to how far the trigger switch is depressed, the further it is depressed the faster the chuck will rotate and the lighter it is depressed, the slower it will rotate.
To stop the drill, release the trigger switch.
Note. You can only change the direction of rotation of the drill using the forward/reverse switch when the trigger is NOT depressed.
