CHARGING BATTERY PACK
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 3 to 5 hours
prior to use.
Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (drilling followed
by recharging) for them to become fully charged.
