BATTERY AND CHARGER SAFETY WARNINGS
THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
YOUR BATTERY CHARGER.
1.
Before using the charger read all instructions and cautionary markings on the charger, battery
pack and the product using the battery pack.
2.
This charger is not intended for any uses other than charging rechargeable batteries. Any other
use may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
3.
Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft surface that may
result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat source.
4.
To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger.
5.
Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress.
6.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension
cord could result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
7.
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in
any way. Have it checked by an electrician or power tool repairer.
8.
Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an electrician or power tool repairer when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
9.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning.
Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
10.
Never attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
11.
DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 40ºC (such as inside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
12.
The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (240 volts). Do not
attempt to use it on any other voltage!
13.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the safety instructions and then
follow the charging notes and procedures.
14.
The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the
air temperature is between 18 - 24ºC. Do not charge the battery pack in an air temperature below
10ºC or above 40ºC. This is important and will prevent damage to the battery pack.
15.
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery can explode in a fire.
16.
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack
breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
17.
During charging, the battery must be placed in a well ventilated area.
LED lights do not illuminate on charger
Check the charging adaptor is securely plugged into the wall outlet.
Check the battery is firmly connected to the charging cradle.
Check that the charging jack is securely connected to the charging cradle.
The battery has a short run time
Ensure the battery is properly charged. It will take 4-5 charging cycles
before the battery reaches optimum charge and run time.
Variable speed trigger is locked
Ensure that the forward / reverse lever is in the correct position; pressed
left for forwards direction, pressed right for backwards direction. If it is in
between the two settings the variable speed trigger will be locked.
The drill is stripping the screw head
Ensure you are starting with a low torque setting and holding the drill
securely onto the screw head. Increase the torque setting as required.
Drill has cut out during use
The drill may have cut out due to excessive hand pressure. Reduce the
hand pressure applied while drilling.
The battery charge could be completely depleted. Place the battery on the
charging cradle for 1 hour.
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
