5. Starting up
Charging the NC battery pack
1. Take the rechargeable battery pack out of the
handle (Fig. 1), pressing the pushlock buttons at
the side to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that
marked on the rating plate of the battery charger.
Plug the battery charger in the socket.
3. Insert the battery pack in the battery charger. The
green LED will come on. Press the SET button to
charge the battery pack. The red LED will come
on to indicate that the battery pack is being
charged. The green LED will come on to indicate
that charging has been completed. Empty battery
packs will require approx. 1 hour for charging. The
temperature of the battery pack 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 contact at 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 battery 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/screwdriver is decreasing.
Never allow the battery pack to discharge
completely. This will result in damage to the Ni-Cd
battery pack!

depends on several factors:
on the type and hardness of material in question
on the type and length screws used
on the requirements needing to be met by the
screwed joint.
