Unpacking Your Tool
Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself
with all its features and functions.
Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good
condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such
parts replaced before attempting to use this tool.
Before Use
• This impact driver has been shipped in a low charge
condition. Charge the battery before use
Battery charger operation
• The charger and battery may become warm while
charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem
• Use the charger at normal room temperatures
whenever possible. To prevent overheating, do not
cover the charger and do not charge the battery in
direct sunlight or near sources of heat
If the battery does not charge properly:
• Check current at power outlet by plugging in a lamp or
other appliance
• If charging problems persist, have the impact driver,
battery and battery charger checked by an electrician
or a power tool technician
Charging the battery
1. Depress the Battery Release Grips (4) and remove the
battery from the tool
2. Insert the battery into the Battery Charger (8). Do not
use excessive force when inserting the battery. If it
does not slide into place easily, it is not being inserted
correctly
3. Initially only the green LED may flash as it evaluates the
status of the battery. When charging the red LED will
illuminate and the green LED will be OFF
4. When the battery is fully charged the red LED will be
OFF and the green LED will illuminate
5. The battery charger will constantly monitor the
condition of the battery when charging
6. Remove the battery as soon as possible when
completely charged
7. Disconnect the charger from the power supply and
GB
store in a clean, dry environment out of the reach of
children
• Normal battery charging time is approximately 1hr for a
recently fully discharged battery at normal temperature.
Charging times will vary outside these conditions
• You do not need to fully discharge the battery before
recharging but you should not attempt to recharge a
battery that is already fully charged
6
• You can interrupt charging at any point to use the
battery. Under normal conditions the charger charges
at a higher rate but reduces the charging rate as the
battery becomes fully charged. An 80% charge is
achieved after 1/2hr of charging.
3.0Ah High Capacity Battery (optional accessory)
• A high capacity battery is available that provides double
the capacity. It also allows the drill driver to stand
vertically which may be advantageous for some uses.
Please note the full charging time will be approximately
120 minutes for the high capacity battery.
