TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. I CAN NOT FIT THE BATTERY INTO THE BATTERY CHARGER. WHY? The battery can be inserted into the charger only in one direction. Turn the battery around until it can be inserted into the slot.
2. REASONS FOR DIFFERENT BATTERY PACK WORKING TIMES Charging time problems, as above, and having not used a battery pack for a prolonged time will reduce the battery pack working time. This can be corrected after several charge and discharge operations by charging & working with your drill. Heavy working conditions such as large screws into hard wood will use up the battery pack energy faster than lighter working conditions. Do not re-charge your battery pack below 0oC and above 40oC as this will affect performance.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the battery pack from the tool before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance. Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool.
FOR BATTERY TOOLS
The ambient temperature range for the use and storage of tool and battery is 0-45. The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is 0-40.
