OPERATION cont.
8. The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal
and does not indicate a problem.
9. Do not place the battery charging stand / transformer in an area of extreme heat or cold.
It will work best at normal room temperature.
10. When battery pack becomes fully charged, unplug battery charging stand / transformer
from power supply and remove the battery pack.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK cont. (Fig. 5 and 5a)
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using your tool continuously, the batteries in your battery pack will become hot.
You should let a hot battery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before
attempting to recharge.
NOTE: A hot battery pack only occurs when prolonged continuous use of your drill/driver
causes the batteries to become hot. It should not occur with typical use.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
PACK IN DRILL / DRIVER (Fig. 6)
1. Place the Forward / Reverse Selector Switch
with Power Lock-Off into the center position to
lock the power off.
2. Place the battery pack in the drill, aligning the
raised rib on battery pack with groove inside
the drill.
3. Make sure the latches on each side of the
battery pack “snap” into place, and the battery
pack is secured in the drill / driver before
beginning operation.
!
When placing battery pack in the tool, be sure raised rib on
battery pack aligns with the bottom of the drill and latches into place properly.
Improper installation of the battery pack can cause damage to internal
components.

the trigger switch and lower speed and torque with
decreased pressure on the trigger switch.

!
Cordless Battery Tools are always in operating condition when
the battery pack is installed in the tool. Therefore the Forward / Reverse Selector
Switch with Power Lock-Off should always be in the center position, locking the
power off, when the tool is not in use or when you are carrying it at your side.
