contacts, causing a fire hazard and damaging the
battery pack.
• Take off the protective cap (10) before placing
the battery pack (6) in the charger or tool.
• Place the protective cap over the contacts
immediately after removing the battery pack from
the charger or tool.
Make sure the protective cap is in place
before storing or carrying a detached
battery pack.

a hammer as shown in figure E. This will loosen the
chuck so that it can be unscrewed by hand.
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• Be aware of the location of pipework and
wiring.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool.
Excessive force does not speed up
drilling but decreases tool performance
and may shorten tool life.
• To minimise stalling on break-through,
progressively reduce the drill point
pressure towards the end of the
operation.
• Keep the motor running when pulling the
bit back out of a drilled hole. This will
help prevent jamming.
