 Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
 Charge only using the charger provided with the tool.

When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the
enviro
nment”.
 Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited
and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture
or fire.
 Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators
and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or
internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not
dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.
 Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the
battery, proceed as follows:

Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.

In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:
 Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
 In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10 minutes.
Consult a physician.
Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached battery. Do
not incinerate the battery.

7 FEATURES
7.1 Li-ion battery (5)
Advantages of Li-ion batteries :
 Li-ion batteries have a higher capacity/weight ratio (more power for less heavy, more
compact, battery)
 No memory effect (capacity loss after several charge/discharge cycles) like other type
batteries. (Ni-Cd, Ni-MeH ..).
 Limited self discharge. (also see chapter : Storage)
7.2 Keyless chuck (1)
Your drill has a keyless chuck that allows you to hand tighten or release drill bit in the chuck
jaws.
7.3 Torque adjustment ring (2)
The drill has a torque adjustment ring. It allows you to select the desired torque depending on
the task you have to perform (drill / different types of screws into different materials). The
proper setting depends on the type of material and the size of screw you are using.
