OPERATION

WARNING:

Exercise caution when using this tool. Careless actions, for even a fraction of a second, can result in serious personal injury.

CHARGING YOUR DRILL-DRIVER

The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge it prior to use.

Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they are charged. Allow several cycles (drilling followed by re- charging) for them to fully charge.

TO CHARGE

■Charge battery pack only with the charger provided.

■Make sure power supply is normal house voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.

■Connect charger to power supply.

■Place battery pack in charger. See Figure 8. Align raised rib on battery pack with groove in charger.

■Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts on battery pack engage properly with contacts in charger. When properly connected, red light will turn on.

■Normally, the yellow and green lights on the charger will come on. This indicates charger is in control charge mode and should switch to fast charge mode within 5 minutes. When charger is in fast charge mode the red light will come on. If after a period of 15 minutes the yellow and green lights remain on, remove the battery pack, wait 1 minute and re-insert battery pack in charger. If the yellow and green lights continue to remain on an additional 15 minutes, the battery pack is damaged and will not accept charge.

■When your battery pack becomes fully charged, the red light will turn off and the green light will turn on.

■After normal usage, 1 hour of charge time is required to be fully charged. A minimum charge time of 1 to 1-1/2 hours is required to recharge a completely discharged tool.

■The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.

■DO NOT place charger in an area of extreme heat or cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
