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

Removing the battery
from the drill
• To remove the Battery (11) from the drill, press
the Battery Release (12) down to lower the
battery lock, then slide the Battery out of the drill
as shown in Fig. A
CAUTION: Do not try to remove the battery without
pressing the Battery Release button. The drill or
Battery could be physically damaged by doing so.
Installing a charged battery
1. To fit a charged battery, slide it in to the base of the drill until it clicks and locks into
position as shown in Fig. B
Note: Make sure the Battery and drill are lined up correctly. If the Battery does not slide
into the drill easily, don't force it. Instead, slide the Battery out of the drill again, check the
top of Battery and the drill battery slot are clean and undamaged and that the contacts
are not bent.
Setting up the battery charger
1. If fitted, remove any battery pack from the Battery Charger Unit (15)
2. Connect the Battery Charger PSU (18) to the Battery Charger DC Input (14)
3. Insert the Mains Plug (13) into a suitable mains socket
Note: The Green LED (16) on the Battery Charger Unit will illuminate to indicate that the
Battery Charger is ready to charge a Battery
WARNING: Use this Battery Charger Unit ONLY to charge the supplied battery or additional
purchased batteries that are specifically designed for this tool.
WARNING: The Battery Charger Unit 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 batteries will result
in permanent damage.
Note:Normal charging time is 1 hour for a recently discharged battery but if the Battery has
been left in a discharged state for some time, it may take up to 1.5 hours to charge.
1. Slide a discharged or partially discharged Battery into the Battery Charger Unit (15)
2. Both the Green LED (16) and Red LED (17) will flash to show the Battery is being
assessed by the charger
3. Once charging commences both LEDs will illuminate without flashing
4. When the Battery is fully charged only the Green LED will be illuminated
Note: If both LEDs are not constantly illuminated after the charger has assessed the Battery
(11), this indicates a fault condition. Recheck the Battery is fully inserted in the Battery
Charger Unit (15). Remove any material that may have fallen into the battery socket of
the Battery Charger Unit and make sure the contacts of both the Battery and the Battery
Charger Unit are clean, untarnished metal and not damaged or bent.
Further notes about battery charging:
• The battery should be charged at ambient temperatures between 10 and 40°C (ideally
close to 20°C)
• After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool before use
• Ensure that the Battery Charger Unit 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 charger monitors battery temperature and voltage while charging. It is
recommended to remove the battery as soon as it completes charging 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 such 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 long term in a discharged state. This can damage
the lithium-ion cells. For long term storage store the batteries in a high charge state
disconnected from the power tool
• The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge cycles the length of
time the battery will operate the tool and the maximum torque performance of the drill
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
