BATTERY CHARGING AND FITTING
WARNING!
When the battery is removed from the tool after use, it may be hot.
Always allow to cool before recharging. Do not recharge a hot
battery.
The battery pack must be charged before operating the drill. New batteries,
or a battery that has been stored for some time, may not initially accept a full
charge. This is normal. It will charge fully after several charge and discharge
cycles. The battery should be charged at ambient air temperatures of
between 4
0
and 40
0
C.
To charge the battery pack, proceed as follows.
1
Insert the battery into the battery charger. Make sure that the battery is
inserted fully.
2
When the battery is fully charged, the red LED will extinguish and the
green LED will remain illuminated.
3
Switch off the charger at the mains and remove the battery from the
charger.
NOTE:
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.
