CHARGING BATTERY PACK (BC430 30 MINUTE CHARGER)
Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet, then insert battery pack into charger (Fig. 8).
The charger’s green indicator light will begin to “BLINK”. This indicates that the battery is receiving a fast charge.
When the indicator light stops “BLINKING” (and becomes a steady green light) fast charging is complete.
The battery pack may be used even though the light may still be blinking. The light may require more time to stop blinking depending on temperature. When you begin the
charging process of the battery pack, a steady red light could also mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.
The purpose of the green light is to indicate that the battery pack is
When charging several batteries in sequence, the charge time may slightly increase.
When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug the charger (unless you're charging another battery pack) and slip the battery pack back into the tool.

Operating Tips
You will extend the life of your bits and do neater work if you always put the bit in contact with the work before pulling the trigger. During the operation, hold the tool firmly and exert light, steady pressure. Too much pressure at low speed will stall the tool. Too little pressure will keep the bit from cutting and cause excess friction by sliding over the surface. This can be damaging to both tool and bit.
DRILLING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
The trigger controlled variable speed feature will eliminate the need for center punches in hard materials. The variable speed trigger
allows you to slowly increase RPM. By using a slow starting speed, you are able to keep the bit from “wandering”. You can increase the speed as the bit “bites” into the work by squeezing the trigger.
DRIVING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
Variable speed drills will double as a power screwdriver by using a screwdriver bit in the drill mode. The technique is to start slowly, increasing the speed as the screw runs down. Set the screw snugly by slowing to a stop. Prior to driving screws, pilot and clearance holes should be drilled.
