BATTERIES

The battery pack for your drill is equipped with 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:

To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of properly.

This product contains nickel-cadmium batteries. Local, state or federal laws may prohibit disposal of nickeFcadmium batteries in ordinary trash.

Consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.

OVERLOAD

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.

BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND PREPARATION

FOR RECYCLING

A WARNING: Upon removal, cover the battery pack's terminals with heavy duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble battery pack or remove any of its components. Nickel-cadmium batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Also, never touch both terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short circuit may result. Keep away from children. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.

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.
