CHARGING BATTERY PACK
CHARGE BATTERY PACK:
1. Plug the charger into
the nearest 120 volt
electrical outlet.
2. Make sure the trigger
on the Cordless Drill
is in the “OFF”
position and remove
the battery pack from
the Cordless Drill.
3. Insert the battery pack
into the charger. Be sure
that the battery pack is
fully seated in the charger.
Do not force.
4. The red indicator light should come “ON” indicating that the battery pack is in
a “Fast Charge” mode. If the green indicator light comes “ON”, then the battery
is already fully charged.
5. After approximately one hour of charging, the red indicator light should go
“OFF” and the green light should come “ON” indicating that the battery is fully
charged and the charger is now in a “Trickle Charge” mode.
6. The battery can be left in a “Trickle Charge” mode until ready to use.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES
When using your Cordless Drill 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. When the battery pack becomes
discharged and is hot, the red light on the charger will flash. When the battery
pack cools down, the red light will glow continuously to indicate fast charging
mode, 1-hour charge time.
This will occur when continuous use of your Cordless
Drill causes the battery pack to become hot. It does not occur under normal
circumstances.
ASSEMBLY
Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition
because it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. Always turn
the switch “OFF” and remove the battery pack before changing bits.
INSTALLING DRILL BIT INTO KEYLESS CHUCK
Before inserting a drill bit or other accessory, make sure the forward/reverse
and trigger lock lever is in the center “OFF” position to prevent accidental starts
that may result in injury.
Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the
front of the chuck and turning the tool on. This may cause personal injury
and/or damage to the chuck.
When removing the bit from the tool, avoid contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the bit or accessory. Accessories may be hot
after prolonged use.
1. Hold the rear end of the chuck
in one hand and use the other
hand to rotate the front end in a
counterclockwise direction to
open the jaws of the chuck.
2. Insert the shank of the bit (or
other accessory) fully into the
keyless chuck, taking care to
keep the bit in the center of
the jaws of the chuck.
3. Turn the front end of the chuck clockwise to hold the bit in place.
4. Tighten securely by turning the front end of the chuck clockwise while holding
the rear end.
OPERATING THE DRILL
Never tape the trigger switch down to provide continu-
ous high speed. The tool may fail under such conditions causing fire or
personal injury.
