MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Use
of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken, or destroy plastics.
DO NOT ABUSE POWER TOOLS. Abusive practices can
damage the tool, as well as the work piece.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories
not recommended for use with this tool. Any such
alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a

performed by an AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER. For

BATTERIES
Your drill is equipped with Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging will depend on the
type of work you are doing.
The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will
eventually wear out. Do not disassemble your drill and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries,
especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area. Temperatures above normal room temperature will shorten battery life.
Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait for the batteries to cool and charge immediately.
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature, the quicker they lose their charge. If you store your
tool for long periods of time without using it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery
life.
CAUTION:
Your drill-driver contains special high temperature batteries to help prevent battery damage when left on charge for
extended periods of time. However, once the batteries become fully charged, we recommend that you unplug the charger
from power supply and remove it from drill-driver.
