When a preset cell temperature is detected, the battery pack will automatically STOP operating and will not restart until the battery pack has cooled to a safe level. In this condition, DO NOT force cool the pack by placing in a freezer or similar device. Refer to the “Overload” section in this manual. Another feature of the drill/battery pack is the low voltage cut out feature. This feature operates when the voltage drops below a pre set value. When this occurs the tool will automatically stop operating. To correct the situation you need to either insert another charged battery into the drill or recharge the existing battery, and then proceed with the drilling/driving application. Note: Attempting to restart the tool in this condition without either recharging the battery or installing a battery with charge will lead to drill restarting and then stopping again after only a few seconds of operation. These safety devices have been fitted for the safety, reliability and life of the tool. Fitting and removing the battery pack To remove the battery pack from the drill firmly press the battery release button (7) at the front of the battery pack, and pull the battery backward out of the tool. To install the battery pack into the base of the drill, you need to align the location rib on the battery pack with the engagement groove located on the base of the drill. Ensure the battery pack locks into position, you will hear a “click”. Battery charging IMPORTANT. Before plugging in the power supply from the charger adaptor (9) to the charger base (10) always ensure that the plug is switched off at the mains. IMPORTANT. The battery will be fully charged after 3-5 hours, remove it from the charger after this time. Do not leave a battery charging for longer than 24 hours. 1. Align the battery pack (5) with the charger base (10) as per the picture shown. Insert the battery pack (5) and slide it firmly into position as shown. Note: If the battery pack is incorrectly orientated the battery will not fully enter the base as depicted. 2. Connect the power supply from the charger adaptor (9) to the charger base (10) via plugging the socket from the charger adaptor (9) into the side of the charger base (10) housing. 3. Plug in the charger and switch on at the power supply. The red LED indicator located on the charger base (10) will indicate that the charger base has power connected to it. The flashing lights on the battery pack will indicate the battery status while the battery is charging. Refer to the below table: Battery indicator while charging Status Red LED Yellow LED Green LED Charging status/indicator description Charging ON FLASH FLASH Yellow and green LED lights flash one after the other during the 3 – 5 hour charging duration Fully charged OFF OFF ON Battery pack is fully charged High temperature or defective OFF ON OFF High temperature. The battery pack temperature is too high and needs to be cooled down. Once the battery pack has been cooled down to an appropriate level the battery will continue to charge. If the battery pack cools down and the status remains unchanged then the battery pack is defective/damaged and should not be used. WARNING: Never use a damaged battery pack. Battery conditioning or defective OFF OFF OFF Battery conditioning occurs when the battery pack has low charge left in its cells. It may take around 90 minutes for the battery to be conditioned before commencing the charging process. If the status remains unchanged then the battery pack is defective/ damaged and should not be used. WARNING: Never use a damaged battery pack. 4. The battery charging time is approximately 3 – 5 hours. When the red and yellow LED go out leaving the green LED glowing the charging cycle is complete. Turn off the charger power supply from the mains and then remove the battery pack (5) from the charger base (11). During the charging cycle, you will hear a clicking noise coming from the battery pack. This is normal and is not an issue of concern. Both the battery pack and the charger may become warm to touch. This is also normal and not an issue of concern. Both the battery pack and charger are fitted with thermal safety devices and they will shut down if the temperatures become too high. To obtain the best life for the battery Never allow the drill to come to a complete stand still before recharging. The battery should be placed on charge whenever the battery is noticeably running down or the drill no longer performs a task it previously performed. Avoid conducting short charges. Make sure that the battery is fully charged every time by allowing the charger to complete its full charging cycle. Avoid allowing lose items like screws or nails etc. to be stored with battery packs as these or similar items can short battery packs and cause a fire or explosion. Always unplug the charger when not in use and store in a dry secure place. Avoid charging or storing your battery in temperatures below 0.C and above 40.C. Battery in...
