a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
IV - Additional safety rules
for angle drills / drivers
▪ Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when per-
forming an operation where the driving screws may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock
the operator.
▪ Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condi-
tion, because it does not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet. Always set the trigger switch to the
locked OFF position when installing or removing the
battery pack.
V - Additional instructions
for work with the charger
▪ Before using the charger, read all the instructions and
cautionary markings on the charger and battery pack
as well as the instructions on using the battery pack.
▪ Only charge your batteries indoors as the charger is
designed for indoor use only.
WaRning: If the battery pack is cracked
or damaged in any other way, do not insert it in the
charger. There is a danger of electric shock.
WaRning: Do not allow any liquid to come
into contact with the charger. There is a danger of
electric shock.
▪ The charger is not intended for any use other than
charging the exact type of SPARKY rechargeable
battery pack as supplied with the charger. Any other
use may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
▪ The charger and battery packs supplied with it are
specifically designed to work together. Do not attempt
to charge the battery pack with any other charger than
the one supplied.
▪ Do not place any object on top of the charger as it
could cause overheating. Do not place the charger
near any heat source.
▪ Do not pull on the lead of the charger to disconnect it
from the power source.
▪ Make sure that the charger cable is positioned where
it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
▪ Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. The use of an improper extension cord
could cause the risk of fire or electric shock.
▪ Do not use the charger if it has been subjected to a
heavy knock, dropped or otherwise damaged in any
Original instructions
way. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or
plug - have them replaced immediately. Take the
charger to an authorised service centre for a check or
repair.
▪ Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an author-
ised service centre when service or repair is required.
Incorrect re-assembly may result in the risk of fire or
electric shock.
▪ To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the
charger from the power supply before attempting to
clean it. Removing the battery pack alone does not
reduce the risk.
▪ Never attempt to connect two chargers together.
▪ The charger is designed for use from a standard
household electrical supply (220–240 V). Do not at-
tempt to connect the charger to a supply with a differ-
ent voltage.
▪ If you wish to charge a second battery pack, unplug
the charger from the mains supply and leave it for at
least 15 minutes. After this time you can charge a sec-
ond battery pack.
▪ Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in
to the power supply, the exposed charging contacts
inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, steel wool, aluminium foil, or any build-
up of metallic particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery pack in the cav-
ity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
▪ Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any
other liquid.
VI - Additional instructions
for work with the
battery pack
▪ The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a
low charge condition. You should charge the battery
pack fully before use.
▪ Do not charge the tool in damp or wet environment.
▪ Longest life and best performance can be obtained
if the battery pack is charged when the air tempera-
ture is between 65ºF–75ºF (18ºC–24ºC). DO NOT
charge the battery set at air temperature below +40ºF
(+4.5ºC), or above +105ºF (+40.5ºC). This is impor-
tant and will prevent serious damage to the battery
set.
▪ The charger and battery pack may become warm to
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem.
▪ To prevent overheating, do not charge battery packs
in direct sunlight in hot weather or near heat sources.
▪ Do not charge inside a box or container of any kind.
The battery must be placed in a well ventilated area
during charging.
▪ A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells
may occur under extreme usage or temperature con-
ditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if
the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your
skin:
- Wash quickly with soap and water.
- Neutralise with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
