MAINTENANCE

BATTERIES

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 your drill 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:

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. Wait for the batteries to cool and charge immediately.

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.

CAUTION:

Your drill-driver contains special high temperature batteries to help prevent battery damage when left on charge for extended periods of time. However, once the batteries become fully charged, we recommend that you unplug the charger from power supply and remove it from drill-driver.

WARNING:

When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil, grease, etc.

DO NOT ABUSE POWER TOOLS. Abusive practices can damage the tool, as well as the work piece.

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.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastics.

CAUTION:

Any repairs requiring disassembly should only be performed by an AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER. For the repair center nearest you, call 1-800-525-2579.
