2. Push the Battery into the battery housing in the handle until it locks into place securely
Note: The drill features an LED Charge Indicator which operates when the Trigger Switch
is pressed. Three LEDs indicate a high charge; one LED indicates a low charge.
Setting up the charger
1. If fitted, remove the Battery from the Battery Slot.
2. Connect the Charger DC Plug to the DC socket at the rear of the Battery Charger.
3. Connect the Charger base to the mains power supply. Note: The green LED on the Battery
Connector will illuminate to indicate that Charger is powered.
WARNING: Only use this Charger to charge the supplied Battery.
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 batteries
will result in permanent damage.
Note: Normal charging time is 1 hour for a recently fully-discharged battery, but if the Bat-
tery 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 into the Battery Charger.
2. Both the Green LED and Red LED 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, this indi-
cates a fault condition. Recheck the Battery is fully inserted in the Battery Charger and
connecting with the Battery Contacts. Remove any material that may have fallen into the
battery socket of the Battery Charger and make sure the contacts of both the Battery and
the Battery Charger Unit are clean, untarnished metal and not damaged or bent.
Notes about battery charging:
- The Battery 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 monitors battery temperature and voltage while charging. Remove
the Battery once charging has been completed to maximize charge cycles of the battery
and not waste power.
- Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in the battery can fail, and the bat-
tery could short. The charger will not charge faulty batteries. Use another battery, if pos-
sible, 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 discon-
