Intended Use; Unpacking Your Tool; Before Use - Triton 12V Angle Drill Instrucciones De Uso Y De Seguridad

Intended use

• The Triton T12AD is a versatile angle drill for accessing recessed and
awkwardly located screw heads, fasteners or drilling locations. This drill
is optimally configured for screw-driving applications. It is not intended
to be used with attachments that are purposely designed for high-torque
impact drivers or high-current mains-operated drills. These attachments
may include holesaws, core drills or attachments designed for automotive
use. Do not modify this tool to enable it to be used for purposes it is not
designed for. If these instructions are followed and the tool is not abused
or misused, it should provide many years of service.

Unpacking your tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its
features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any
parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting
to use this tool

Before use

• The supplied battery pack has been shipped in a low-charge condition.
Charge the battery pack before use
Battery charger operation
• The battery charger and battery pack may become warm while charging.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem
• Use the battery charger at normal room temperatures whenever possible.
To prevent overheating, do not cover the
• battery charger and do not charge the battery in direct sunlight or near
sources of heat
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
• Check current at power outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance
• If charging problems persist, have the Angle Drill, Battery and Battery
Charger checked by an electrician or a power tool technician
Charging a battery
1. Depress the Battery Release Grips (3) and remove the Battery Pack (4)
from the tool
2. Insert the Battery Pack into the Battery Charger (9). Do not use excessive
force when inserting the Battery Pack. If it does not slide into place easily,
it is not being inserted correctly
3. Initially only the green LED may flash as it evaluates the status of the
Battery Pack. When charging the red LED will illuminate and the green LED
will be OFF
4. When the Battery Pack is fully charged the red LED will be OFF and the
green LED will illuminate
5. The Battery Charger will constantly monitor the condition of the Battery
when charging
6. Remove the Battery Pack as soon as possible when completely charged
7. Disconnect the Battery Charger from the power supply and store in a clean,
dry environment out of the reach of children
• Normal battery charging time is approximately 1 hour for a recently fully
discharged battery at normal temperature. Charging times will vary outside
these conditions
• You do not need to fully discharge the Battery Pack before recharging but
GB
you should not attempt to recharge a Battery that is already fully charged
• You can interrupt charging at any point to use the Battery Pack. Under
normal conditions the Battery Charger charges at a higher rate but reduces
the charging rate as the Battery Pack becomes fully charged. An 80%
charge is achieved after 1/2hr of charging
3.0Ah High Capacity Battery pack (optional accessory)
• A high capacity Battery Pack is available that provides double the capacity.
It also allows the angle drill to stand vertically which may be advantageous
for some uses. Please note the full charging time will be approximately 2
hours for the high capacity battery

Note: If the lights on the Battery Charger fail to illuminate according to the
chart above or indicate a fault condition:
• Check the Battery Pack is firmly seated in the Battery Charger
• Check all connections and that mains power is switched on
Initial charge
• The initial charge will vary depending on the existing charge in the Battery.
Allow the Battery to reach full charge as indicated on the Battery Charger
• After discharging, recharge the Battery Pack completely, as indicated by
the LED on the Battery Charger, for the next 4 to 5 uses. This will ensure
that the Battery Pack is performing to its highest capacity
• Subsequent full charges will take approximately 1 hour, however
the Battery can be recharged when the Battery Pack is only partially
discharged
Re-charging the battery pack
• After use, a li-ion battery must be allowed to cool down before charging
• If a hot battery is inserted into the charger both LEDs will illuminate.
The Battery Charger will begin to charge when the Battery has cooled
sufficiently (this may take several minutes)
Installing the battery pack
• The Battery Pack should fit easily into the Battery Charger. If the Battery is
difficult to fit, check the condition of the Battery and contacts
Battery pack- length of service
• The length of service from each charging cycle will depend on the type of
workload. The Battery Charger and Battery Pack for this drill have been
designed to provide a long trouble-free working life. The Battery Charger
intelligently monitors the condition of the Battery and selects the ideal
charging rate for the condition of the Battery. It protects the Battery from
over-charging or charging at too high a rate. However, like all batteries,
performance will be reduced over time
To maximise battery life:
• Store and charge the Battery in a cool area. Temperatures above or below
normal room temperature will reduce battery life
• Never store li-ion batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them
immediately after they are discharged. For storing long term, store fully
charged
• All batteries gradually lose their charge, even li-ion batteries, but the
discharge rate is very low. If the drill is stored for long periods of
time without use, recharge the battery every three to four months and
disconnect the battery from the power tool before it is stored. This practice
will prevent the li-ion battery being damaged when stored
