The C12 monitors the electrical power to the motor 
to ensure that the motor operates within safe 
parameters. However, make no mistake; the C12 
was designed properly in the first place, so it 
won't overheat under normal use. The drills 
mentioned above were under-engineered so the 
manufacturer could claim higher performance 
than the drill is realistically capable of 
providing.
Power Control 
Virtually all drills on the 
market (including AC and
DC motors) use a similar 
design for controlling the
power to the motor. The 
trigger switch contains a

A small electronic circuit 
creates a pulsating signal 
for controlling the
of the motor, and a 
mechanical switch 
controls the motor's 
direction (refer to How

The C12 uses six high power amplifiers to control 
the power to the three phases of the motor. These

Battery Sizes 
Whether you're an occasional picture hanger, or a 
professional contractor, the C12 is flexible enou

A common misconception with tool batteries is
that they should be fully discharged before 
recharging. While there is some truth to this, 
draining a battery to the point of stalling the moto
can actually cause permanent damage to the 
battery. The cells inside the battery pack can 
actually change polarity, called cell reversal, under 
deep cycling. The C12 monitors the battery to 
determine if it is capable of providing the power 
required. If the battery cannot supply the powe

 With daily use, the batteries can be left in the charger until 
needed. However, the charger should not be used for long-
term storage of infrequently used batteries.
