KNOW YOUR DRILL-DRIVER
See Figure 1.
Before attempting to use any tool, familiarize yourself with all
operating features and safety requirements.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless.
Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict severe 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 at least 6 hours 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 charging assembly
provided.
■ Make sure power supply is normal house voltage,
120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
■ Connect charging assembly to power supply.
■ Place battery pack in charging assembly. Align raised
rib on battery pack with groove in charging assembly.
See Figure 2.
■ Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts on
battery pack engage properly with contacts in charging
assembly. When properly connected, red light will turn
on.
■ After normal usage, 3 hours of charging time is re-
quired to be fully charged. A minimum charge time of 6
hours is required to recharge a completely discharged
battery.
■ The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
■ DO NOT place charging assembly in an area of ex-
treme heat or cold. It will work best at normal room
temperature.
