JARGER BASE
CHARGER
PLUG
1. DO NOT PLACE the charger base in
an area of extreme heat or cold... |
will work best at normal room
temperature. |
. The charger plug housing and the
Screwdriver handle will become
slightly warm to the touch. This is
normal and does not indicate a
problem.
. Insert the tool into the charger base as
shown in Figure 2. When properly
installed, you will feel and hear a soft
click.
. The tool can be left on charge as long
as you desire. A minimum charge time
of 12 hours is required to recharge a
completely discharged tool, but you
may wish to keep the tool constantly on
charge. The charger base is designed
to work 24 hours a day every day.
. For most fix up jobs a charge of 3 to 4
hours will be adequate (20 #8 x 1”
wood screws in pine without pilot hole).
If the screwdriver has been completely
discharged (does not run) it will require
12 hours of charging to reach a full
charge. Of course the harder the tool
works, the faster the batteries will
become discharged. This will vary
depending on the type of work being
done. If you notice a decrease in the
working time for a full charge, fully
discharge the tool's batteries by
holding the switch on until it stops
running. Charge it overnight and
repeat this process. Charge again and
the tool should be restored to its
original level of performance.
6. Always store your screwdriver in its
charger base when not in use. The
charger base will keep the nickel-
cadmium batteries "Topped Off" so
your screwdriver is always ready.
Bit Storage
The bit Supplied with your screwdriver
is a double ended type with a No. 2
phillips on one end and a No. 8-10 flat
blade on the other. The bit can be stored
in the screwdriver or in one of the holes in
the charger base as shown in the large
figure above. Note that there are two holes
in the charger base to accomodate an
extra bit.
Spindle Lock (Figure 3)
To use the spindle lock feature, lift
and turn the lock knob, shown in Figure 3,
to the lock position by aligning either of
the arrows on the knob with the arrow on
the tool housing. You can turn the lock
knob in either direction to align the arrows.
When locked, the tool acts like a
standard, hand powered screwdriver. Use
the locking feature for breaking loose .
particularly stubborn screws or for giving ©
an extra twist after driving a screw all the
way in. Do Not Engage Spindle ROCK
When Tool Is Running. Ä
