6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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:
i. Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such
as lemon juice or vinegar.
ii. 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.

6. Do not probe the charger.
7. The charger is intended for indoor use only.
5 FEATURES
- LI-ION BATTERY
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)
- KEYLESS CHUCK
Your drill has a keyless chuck that allows you to hand tighten or release drill bit in the chuck
jaws.
- TORQUE ADJUSTMENT RING (FIG B)
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.
- ON/OFF SWITCH
The switch trigger can be locked in the OFF position. This feature helps reduce the possibility
of accidental starting when not in use.
FORWARD/REVERSE SELECTOR (RIGHT/LEFT ROTATION SELECTOR)
