Battery charging, Using the drill | Global Machinery Company 444B

Battery charging

Connect the adaptor plug to the socket in the rear of the battery (6). Plug the adaptor (7) into a 230–240V mains power point and switch on. The red LED light near the rear of the battery will show that charging is taking place.

The normal battery charge time is between 3–5 hours, but an indication as to the battery being fully charged is when the case of the battery starts to warm up. Once this occurs, switch off the adaptor at the 230–240V mains power point and remove the adaptor plug from the rear of the battery. Your drill/driver is ready for use!

To keep the best life of the battery, let the battery start to loose its power before charging, but do not let the drill come to a standstill before charging. Do not do short charges but make sure that the battery is fully charged every time it is in need of charging.

Warning. Never store the battery out of the drill/driver as the two contacts on top of the battery are exposed and could be shorted by a metal object and cause a fire or explosion!

Caution. Never use the drill while charging is in progress!

Using the drill

Use the forward/reverse switch to select the direction of rotation, then pull the trigger (4) on. This trigger switch is electronic variable speed 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. The drill will not work if the forward/reverse switch is in the middle of the two position. This is a safety feature and whenever leaving the drill it is wise to place the switch in the centre to stop inadvertent switching on.

Chuck replacement

The chucks of reversible drills are always fixed by a screw with a left-hand thread. The screw, which is located in the centre of the chuck, must be loosened before the chuck can be removed. To loosen the screw, turn it in a clockwise direction. The chuck can now be removed by unscrewing it anti-clockwise. If you have trouble removing the chuck take the drill to your nearest authorised service centre for chuck replacement.

Forward/Reverse switch (3)

This switch will allow you to change the direction of the motor.

Drilling uses the forward mode. The reverse mode is intended for the removal of screws.

Adjustable Torque

This drill is equipped with torque settings which are controlled by the torque collar (2). By rotating the collar behind the chuck, it is possible to adjust the torque.

This will allow better control when using the drill as a screwdriver (prevents over-tightening of the screws).

Drilling metals

•Always clamp sheet metal.

•Support thin metal with a block of wood to avoid distorting it.

•Use a punch to mark the centre of the hole.

•Use a suitable lubricant for the material you are working on:

USE:	FOR:
Oil	Steel
Turpentine or paraffin	Aluminium
Do not lubricate	Brass, copper or cast iron
