Fitting and removing the battery pack
To remove the battery pack from the drill firmly press the
battery release tabs (7) at either side of the battery pack,
and slide the battery backward out of the tool.
To install the battery pack, align rails, on the tool with the
tabs on the battery pack and
slide the battery pack on to the
drill. Ensure the battery pack is
sitting straight on the foot and
correctly entering the runners.
The battery should slide fully on
to the drill foot until the battery
pack “clicks” into position.
Battery charging
IMPORTANT. Before plugging in the power supply from the
charger to the slim line adaptor always ensure that the plug
is switched off at the mains.
IMPORTANT. The battery will be fully charged after
3-5 hours, remove it from the adaptor after this time.
Do not leave a battery charging for longer than 24 hours.
1. Align and slide the slim line
adaptor (10) onto the battery
until the battery pack latches
“click” into position. Check
the adaptor is flush with the
battery and there is a firm
connection.
2. Connect the power supply
from the charger (9) to the
slim line adaptor via the socket
in the rear of the adaptor
housing.
3. Plug in the charger and
switch on. The red LED
indicator will show power to
the adaptor and that charging
is taking place.
4. The battery charging time is approximately 3–5 hours.
The red LED goes out when the charging cycle is
complete. Turn off the charger power supply from the
mains and then remove the battery from the adaptor.
Note. The LED will continue to come on and off periodically
after the battery is fully charged.
WARNING. Only use charger 1835C with the adaptor that is
supplied for the BN18SB.
To obtain the best life for the battery
Never allow the drill to come to a complete stand still
before recharging. The battery should be placed on charge
whenever the battery is noticeably running down or the drill
no longer performs a task it previously performed.
Avoid conducting short charges. Make sure that the battery
is fully charged every time by allowing the charger to
complete its full charging cycle.
Avoid allowing lose items like screws or nails etc. to be
stored with battery packs as these or similar items can
short battery packs and cause a fire or explosion.
Always unplug the charger when not in use and store in
a dry secure place.
Avoid charging or storing your
battery in temperatures
below 0ºC and above 40ºC.
Using the drill
Use the forward/reverse switch
(4) to select the direction of
rotation, then pull the trigger
(3). This trigger switch is an
electronic variable speed
control which enables the user to
vary the speed continuously.
The speed varies according
to how far the trigger switch
is depressed, the further it is
depressed the faster the chuck
will rotate and the lighter it is
depressed, the slower it will rotate.
