disconnect the charger.

temperature: 50

F.
1. Remove the battery from the Drill. Plug the Adaptor (21) into the battery.
2. Plug the Adaptor into an electrical outlet.
3. Verify that the red charging indicator light on the back of the battery comes on. If it does
not come on, check the power connection or try a different wall outlet.
4. Charge the battery initially for 5 hours continuously. Adaptors should not be left
plugged in or charging for more than 5 hours. Subsequent charges should take
between 3 and 5 hours. Allow adaptor to cool down before
charging another battery.
5. After charging, unplug the Adaptor from the electrical
outlet.
6. Insert the battery into the tool by pressing on the two side
tabs while inserting.
Note: The operation time of a new battery will ramp up as properly used and recharged.
Drill Operation
1. Insert a drill or screw bit into the Chuck (8). Securely tighten.
Turn the chuck counterclockwise to open, and clockwise to close while holding on to
the chuck sleeve. Use 3/8 inch bits or smaller to avoid damage to gears and motor.
Note: Always switch to a fresh bat-
tery when tool performance begins
to diminish. Severe heat is most de-
structive to a battery; the more heat
generated, the faster the battery loses
power. A battery that gets too hot can
be permanently damaged. Never over-
discharge a battery by using the tool
even after tool performance is decreas-
ing. Never attempt to discharge a tool’s
battery by continuing to pull the tool trig-
ger. When tool performance begins
to diminish, stop the tool, re-charge
the battery and use the fresh battery
for optimal performance.
