MAINTENANCE
A WARNING; When servicing, use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other
part 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 clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil,
grease, etc.
A 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 plastic.
Only the parts shown on parts list, page 15, are
intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer.
All other parts should be replaced by a qualified
service technician at an authorized service facility.
A 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.
Do not abuse power tools. Abusive practices can
damage tool as well as workpiece.
BATTERIES
Your drill's battery pack is equipped with 8 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 battery pack 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.
Recharge them immediately after they are
discharged.
■ 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.
To preserve natural resources, please
recycle or dispose of properly.
This product contains nickel­
cadmium batteries. Local, state or
federal laws may prohibit disposal of
nickel-cadmium batteries in ordinary
trash.
Consult your local waste authority for information
regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.
BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND
PREPARATION FOR RECYCLING
A WARNING: Upon removal, cover the battery
pack's terminals with heavy duty adhesive tape.
Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble battery
pack or remove any of its components. Nickel­
cadmium batteries must be recycled or disposed
of properly. Also, never touch both terminals with
metal objects and/or body parts as short circuit
may result. Keep away from children. Failure to
comply with these warnings could result in fire
and/or serious injury.
