IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR

RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES

When using your drill-driver continuously, the batteries be- come hot. You should let the batteries cool down for approxi- mately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge.

Note: This situation occurs when continuous use of your drill-driver causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to "Charging Your Drill-Driver"for normal recharging of batteries. If the charger does not charge your batteries under normal circum- stances, return both the drill-driver and charger to your nearest AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER for electrical check.

Your drill 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 your charger from power supply and disconnect it from drill.

WARNING:

If any parts are missing, do not operate tool until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.

SWITCH

See Figure 3.

Your drill starts and stops by depressing and releasing the switch trigger.

Your drill has a two-speed feature in the switch. Depress the switch trigger halfway for driving screws at low speed. Depress the switch trigger all the way for normal drilling. Release the switch trigger to turn drill OFF.

SWITCH LOCK

See Figure 3.

The switch trigger can be locked in the OFF position. This feature helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not in use. To lock the switch trigger, place the direction of rotation selector in the center position.

REVERSIBLE

See Figure 3.

This tool is reversible. The direction of rotation is controlled by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the drill held in normal operating position, the direction of rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the switch for drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when the selector is to the right of the switch. When the selector is in center position, the switch trigger is locked.

CAUTION:

To prevent gear damage, always allow chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.

To stop, release switch trigger and allow the chuck to come to a complete stop.

WARNING:

Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore, switch should always be locked when not in use or when carrying at your side.
