BATTERIES

Your drill'sbattery pack is equipped with 10 nickel- cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work you are doing.

The battedes in this tool have been designed to provide maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the battedes. Handling of these batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.

To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:

OVERLOAD

Your ddll has a built-in overload protector to protect the motor during overloading or prolonged use. The overload protector automatically activates to break the circuit. When this occurs, allow your drill to cool a few seconds before resuming operation.

•Store and charge your batteries in a cool area. Temperatures above normal room temperature will shorten battery life.

•Never store battedas in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately after they are discharged.

•All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If you store your tool for long periods of time without using it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery life.
