Direction Control - Silverline 975325 Mode D'emploi

Setting up the Charger
1. If fitted, remove the Battery (10) from the Battery Charger (14) (Fig. II (b))
2. Connect the Battery Charger to the mains power supply
3. The Green LED (16) on the Battery Charger will illuminate to indicate that the Charger is powered.
WARNING: Only use this Charger to charge the supplied Battery or identical Silverline
batteries.
WARNING: The Battery Charger is designed for indoor use only and must not be exposed to
moisture and rain.
Charging the Battery
WARNING: Failure to follow the correct procedure when charging the Battery (10) will result
in permanent damage.
Note: Normal charging time is 1 hour for a recently fully-discharged battery, but if the Battery has
been left in a discharged state for some time, it may take extended time to charge.
1. Slide a discharged or partially discharged Battery onto the Battery Charger (14) (Fig. II (a))
Note: Make sure the Battery (10) and Battery Charger are lined up correctly. If the Battery does not
slide onto the Battery Charger easily, don't force it. Instead, remove the Battery, then check that
the top of the Battery and the Battery Charger slot are clean and undamaged and that the Charger
Terminals (15) are not bent.
2. Once charging commences, only the Red LED (17) will illuminate
Note: If the Red LED is not constantly illuminated after an uncharged Battery is inserted into the
Charger, the Battery or Charger may be faulty. Recheck the Battery is fully inserted in the Battery. If
the fault persists do not use and contact your authorised Silverline distributer.
3. When the Battery is fully charged only the Green LED (16) will be illuminated
Battery Charge Level
The Battery has a built-in Battery Charge Indicator (8). Pressing on the button to the right will
indicate the charge level. The number of bars that illuminate when the button is pressed indicate
the charge level: 1 bar indicates a low charge, 3 bars indicates a full charge.
IMPORTANT: When a low charge level is indicated be aware the tool may stop operating while in
use. This may be dangerous. It is recommended to always ensure the Battery has a good charge
level.
Notes about battery charging
IMPORTANT: Batteries are an expendable supply whose capacity shortens over time. Always adhere
to the correct handling and charging instructions in the manual. If the battery does not hold charge
or working time is shortened, purchase a genuine Silverline replacement.
• The Battery (10) should be charged at ambient temperatures between 10 and 40°C (ideally
around 20°C)
• After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool before use
• Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply after use, and is stored correctly
• Do not leave batteries on charge for extended periods and never store batteries on charge
• The Battery Charger (14) monitors battery temperature and voltage while charging. Remove
the Battery once charging has been completed to maximise charge cycles of the battery and
not waste power
• Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in the battery can fail, and the battery
could short. The charger will not charge faulty batteries. Use another battery, if possible, to
check correct functionality of the charger and purchase a replacement battery if a faulty battery
is indicated
• Do not store Lithium-ion battery packs in a discharged state long term. This can damage the
Lithium-ion cells. For long-term storage, store batteries in a high charge state disconnected
from the power tool
• The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge cycles, the battery's operation
time and the performance will slightly reduce. This decline will continue until the battery has
minimal capacity after 500 charge cycles. This is normal and not a fault with the battery pack
Fitting drill bits & accessories
WARNING: Always remove the Battery from the drill before attaching, adjusting or removing
accessories.
WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the Chuck
Collar (2) and switching the tool ON. This can lead to personal injury and can cause damage to
the chuck.
WARNING: Never fit any attachment with a maximum speed lower than the no-load speed of
the power tool or selected gear.
1. Open the Chuck Jaws (1) by rotating the Chuck Collar anti-clockwise (with the Chuck facing
the operator)
2. Place the drill bit or accessory centrally into the Chuck Jaws
3. Tighten the Chuck Jaws by rotating the Chuck Collar clockwise
4. When the drill bit or accessory is securely fastened, carefully run the tool to test that it is running
centrally, smoothly and evenly. If the bit is 'wobbling' or not running centrally, release the Chuck
Jaws, check the accessory for damage, correct its position, retighten and test again
Operation

Direction control

WARNING: NEVER change the direction of rotation while the tool is running.
• The direction of rotation can be set using the Forward/Reverse Switch (6)
• For anti-clockwise rotation, holding the drill in a normal operating position, push the switch
to the right
• For clockwise rotation, push the switch to the left
Note: When the Forward/Reverse Switch is in the central position, the drill is locked and cannot
be switched ON. Use this setting as a safety feature to prevent the drill from being switched ON
accidentally.
• Ensure that drill bits are suitable for the material to be drilled, and are within the maximum
capacity of this power tool (see 'Specification')
• To ensure accuracy, mark the intended hole position using a hammer and centre punch
• Only apply moderate pressure to the drill bit, ensuring efficient cutting and prolonged drill
bit life
• Use a countersink bit to remove sharp burrs from the hole, preventing cuts and other kinds
of injury
Torque control
• This drill driver is fitted with torque control, which limits the torque output of the drill, enabling
screws to be driven without the risk of damage
• There are 19 torque settings indicated by numbering on the Torque Selector (3) and 1 drill
setting indicated by the drill icon . The lower the number, the lower the torque
• The drill setting does not utilise the torque clutch. When the maximum torque is reached the
drill will stall
• Rotate the Torque Selector until the setting you require is aligned with the setting indicator
• Check that the torque setting is correct by practising first on a piece of scrap material
WARNING: The drill can be fitted with a drive adaptor for use with driving nuts and bolts. DO
NOT attempt to use this tool in the drill position when doing so. Use one of the 19 torque setting
to allow the torque clutch to protect the tool from excessive load. The use of a spanner to loosen or
tighten a nut/bolt is recommended. This allows the tool to speed up the operation without risk of
damage when high torque is required at the beginning or end of the operation.
Switching ON & OFF
WARNING: Always wear adequate personal protection equipment when setting up and
operating this tool.
1. To start the drill, squeeze the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (13)
Note: If the ON/OFF Trigger Switch cannot be pressed down, check that the Forward/Reverse Switch
(6) is not set to its middle position, which locks the device (see "Direction control").
2. The speed of the drill is controlled by the movement of the trigger: the further the trigger is
pressed down, the faster the drill will run
3. Release the ON/OFF Trigger Switch to stop the tool
Note: A built-in LED Work Light (12) will operate each time the ON/OFF Trigger Switch is pressed, to
illuminate the work area.
Note: The On-Tool Battery Indicator (5) will operate each time the ON/OFF Trigger Switch is pressed.
The number of bars that illuminate when the button is pressed indicate the charge level; 1 bar
indicating a low charge, 3 bars indicating a full charge.
Screwdriver use
Note: Use a universal bit holder (not supplied) when working with screwdriver bits. Only mount
screwdriver bits directly into the chuck if it is essential to access a screw head. Use a bit holder at
all other times.
• When driving screws NEVER use the tool in drill mode. This will protect the motor by causing the
clutch to slip rather than the motor to stall when the screw is fully inserted in the workpiece and
cannot rotate any further
• Always adjust the drill to the appropriate torque setting (see 'Drill mode selection' & 'Torque
control')
Note: If in doubt about which torque setting best suits the application, start with a low setting and
increase, should more torque be required (e.g. if the screw is not being driven far enough into the
workpiece).
