cable from damage and sharp
edges. Damaged cables are to
be replaced immediately by an
electrician.
10. Examine your tool for any signs
of damage. Have repairs car-
ried out only by an electrician.

the Ni-Cd battery pack do not
touch other metallic objects,
e.g. nails and screws. Risk of
short-circuiting!
Putting into operation:
Loading the Ni-Cd battery
pack
1. Check that your mains voltage
is the same as that quoted on
the rating plate. Insert the char-
ger in a socket-outlet.
2. Pull the battery pack out of the
handle (Figure 5) by depres-
sing the clips on the side.
3. nsert the battery pack in the
charger. The red light comes as
a sign that the battery pack is
being charged. The green LED
comes on to signal that the
charging is completed. It takes
1 hour to charge an empty bat-
tery. The temperature of the
battery may rise slightly during
the charging operation. This is
normal.
If the battery pack fails to become
charged, please check
whether there is voltage at the
socket-outlet
whether there is proper contac-
tat the charging contacts on
the charger.
If the battery still fails to become
charged, please return
the charger
the battery pack
to our Customer Service
Department.
Timely recharging of the Ni-Cd bat-
tery pack is recommended in the
interest of long battery life.
Recharging is always necessary
when you notice that the power of
the battery-powered drill/screwdri-
ver is decreasing.
Never allow the battery pack to
discharge completely. This will
result in damage to the Ni-Cd bat-
tery pack!
