OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Do not overcharge the battery. Recharge only when the tool starts to
run slowly.
1. Charging the battery
1. Before the first use, the battery must be charged for 5 hours.
2. New batteries, or a battery that has been stored uncharged for some time, may not initially
accept a full charge. This is normal. It will charge fully after several charge and discharge
cycles.
3. The battery should always be charged at ambient air temperatures of between 4° and 40°C.
4. Before the first charge, the battery should be fully discharged. Operate the On/Off switch until
the motor stops.
5. Make sure that the On/Off switch is not activated. The battery will not charge if the switch is in
the On position.
6. Locate the charging adaptor plug in the charging socket on the screwdriver. See figures 1 and
2.
7. Plug the charging adaptor into the mains supply.
8. After the initial 5 hour charge, the screwdriver will be ready for use. Subsequent full charges
will take 3 hours.
9. Switch off and remove the charging adaptor from the mains supply and remove the charging
plug from the screwdriver.
Whilst charging, the battery pack and charger may become warm. This is normal and
will continue until the battery is fully charged and the charger has been disconnected
from the mains supply.
