possible problems. Therefore, you should charge overnight prior to use.

NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they are charged. Allow several cycles (operation followed by recharging) for them to become fully charged.

1. Charge battery pack only with the charging	Fig. 5
stand / transformer that was supplied with
	Transformer
this drill / driver or one of the other chargers
listed on page 6.
2. Make sure power supply is normal
household voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz,
AC-only.

The direction of bit rotation is forward or reverse and is controlled by a selector switch located above and to the rear of the trigger switch. When holding the drill / driver in the normal operating position, (and viewed from the back of the drill/driver see Figs. 3, 3a and 3b), the selector switch should be positioned (pushed) all the way to the LEFT, for FORWARD or normal drilling / driving, and positioned (pushed) all the way to the RIGHT for REVERSE to remove drill bits and back out screws.

The third position for the selector switch is located in the CENTER (Fig. 3b). This position keeps the trigger switch from working, locking the power “OFF”. Setting the selector switch in the “OFF” or CENTER position helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when the tool is not in use.

!CAUTION: To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.
