Exercise caution when using this tool. Careless actions,
for even a fraction of a second, can result in serious
personal injury.

The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low
charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore,
you should charge it prior to use.

Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they
are charged. Allow several cycles (drilling followed by re-
charging) for them to fully charge.

■ Charge battery pack only with the charger provided.

■ Make sure power supply is normal house voltage,

■ Connect charger to power supply.

■ Place battery pack in charger. See Figure 8. Align

raised rib on battery pack with groove in charger.

■ Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts on

battery pack engage properly with contacts in charger.
When properly connected, red light will turn on.

■ Normally, the yellow and green lights on the charger

will come on. This indicates charger is in control charge
mode and should switch to fast charge mode within 5
minutes. When charger is in fast charge mode the red
light will come on. If after a period of 15 minutes the
yellow and green lights remain on, remove the battery
pack, wait 1 minute and re-insert battery pack in charger.
If the yellow and green lights continue to remain on an
additional 15 minutes, the battery pack is damaged
and will not accept charge.

■ When your battery pack becomes fully charged, the

red light will turn off and the green light will turn on.

■ After normal usage, 1 hour of charge time is required to

be fully charged. A minimum charge time of 1 to 1-1/2
hours is required to recharge a completely discharged
tool.

■ The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch

while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.

■ DO NOT place charger in an area of extreme heat or

cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
