BATTERIES

Your drill'sbattery pack is equipped with 14 nickel- cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work you are doing.

The batteries 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 batteries. 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

Do not abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage tool as well as workpiece.

Only the parts shown on parts list, page 15, are intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should be replaced by a qualified service technician at an authorized service facility.

_k WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use

with this tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury.

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

Never store batteries 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.

Your drill 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.
