• If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts. • Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. WARNING: Burn hazard.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 1) FIG. 1 HOT/COLD DELAY This charger has a hot/cold delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short while in the hot/cold delay mode.
A. Trigger switch B. Forward/reverse control button C. Worklight D. Chuck E. Torque adjustment collar F. Mode control collar G. Gear shifter H. Side handle c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 18° – 24°C (65°F and 75°F); d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center. 5.
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. 2) Worklight (Fig. 2) To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (A). To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. Your tool is equipped with a brake. The chuck will stop as soon as the trigger switch is fully released. NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. It may damage the switch and should be avoided. There is a worklight (C) located just above the trigger switch (A).
SCREWDRIVING (FIG. 4) Rotate the mode control collar (F) so the screw symbol is aligned with the arrow. NOTE: The torque adjustment collar may be set to any number at any time. However, the torque adjustment collar is only engaged during screwdriving mode and not in drill and hammerdrill modes. WARNING: Always ensure the bit is secure before starting the tool. A loose bit may eject from tool causing possible personal injury.
Drilling (Fig. 3) WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, DO NOT suspend tool overhead or suspend objects from the belt hook. ONLY hang tool’s belt hook from a work belt. WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ensure the screw holding the belt hook is secure. IMPORTANT: When attaching or replacing the belt hook or bit clip, use only the screw (L) that is provided. Be sure to securely tighten the screw.
Lubrication 2. Rotate the mode control collar (F) so the screw symbol is aligned with the arrow. 3. Make a few practice runs in scrap or unseen areas of the workpiece to determine the proper position of the torque adjustment collar. Reset the torque adjustment collar (E) to the appropriate number setting for the torque desired. 4. Always start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece or fastener.
