CHARGING PROCEDURE

NOTE:

Before using the

tool, read the safety and

operating manual carefully.

1. CHARGING YOUR
BATTERY PACK

The battery charger supplied
is matched to the Li-ion battery
installed in the machine. Do not use
another battery charger.
The Li-ion battery is protected
against deep discharging. When
the battery is empty, the machine
is switched off by means of a
protective circuit: The chuck no
longer rotates.
In a warm environment or after
heavy use, the battery pack may
become too hot to permit charging.
Allow time for the battery to cool
down before recharging.
When the battery pack is charged
for the first time and after prolonged
storage, the battery pack will accept
a 100% charge after several charge
and discharge cycles.

2. BEFORE USING YOUR
CORDLESS TOOL

Your battery pack is UNCHARGED
and you must charge once before
use. When you charge the new
battery or one which has not been
used for long periods of time, it may
not reach full charge until after you
have discharged it fully in use and
recharged it several times.

3. HOW TO CHARGE YOUR
BATTERY PACK (See

1, 2)

Connect the battery charger to the
power supply and the green light (1)
will illuminate.
Slide the battery pack into
the charger base to make the
connections. The red light (1) will
illuminate to show charging has
started.
After charging approx 3 - 5 hours,
the red light will switch to green,
indicating the battery is full, and
charging is completed.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

1. I CANNOT FIT THE BATTERY INTO THE BATTERY CHARGER. WHY?

1) Check if the charger and the battery pack are specifically designed for working
together.

2) The battery can be inserted into the charger only in one direction. Turn the
battery around until it can be inserted into the slot, the indicator light should be red
when the battery is charging.

2. REASONS FOR DIFFERENT CHARGING TIMES

The charging time can be affected by many reasons which are not defects in your
product.

1) If the battery pack is only partly discharged it may be re-charged in less than 3 ­5 hours.

2) If the battery pack and ambient temperature are very cold then re-charging may
take more hours.

3) If the battery pack is very hot you must remove your battery pack from the
charger and allow your battery pack to cool first to ambient temperature and then
recharging can be started.

MAINTENANCE

Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. Never use water or
chemical cleaners to clean your tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store
your tool in a dry place.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Waste electrical products must not be disposed of with household waste.
Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authorities or retailer
for recycling advice.
