Battery Charger Safety
Use the battery charger correctly
• Refer to the section of this manual relating to use of the battery charger before attempting to
charge the battery.
• Do not attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than those supplied. Keep your battery
charger clean; foreign objects or dirt may cause a short or block air vents. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause overheating or fire
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard
• Examine the battery charger regularly for damage, especially the cord, plug and enclosure. If the
battery charger is damaged, it must not be used until it has been repaired
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance
• WARNING: DO NOT attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Battery & charger safety features
The battery and charger are fitted with a number of safety features which may be triggered during
charging or operation:
• Over-charge protection: Charger automatically switches off when the battery has reached full
charge capacity, protecting the internal components of the battery
• Over-discharge protection: Prevents the battery from discharging beyond the recommended
lowest safety voltage
• Over-heat protection: Sensor switches off if the battery becomes too hot during operation.
This can happen if the tool is overloaded or being used for extended periods of time. Up to 30
minutes cooling time may be required depending on the ambient temperature
• Overload protection: Battery temporarily stops if it is overloaded or the maximum current draw
is exceeded, protecting the internal components. The battery will resume normal operation
when the current draw returns to a normal safe level. This may take a few seconds
• Short circuit protection: The battery will stop working immediately if a short circuit occurs,
this prevents damage to the battery or tool
Use batteries correctly
• Only charge batteries using the charger provided. Only use batteries provided with this power
tool, or others recommended by the supplier. Keep batteries clean; foreign objects or dirt may
cause a short. Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure to follow
these instructions may cause overheating or fire. When not in use batteries should be stored at
room temperature (approx 20˚C). Ensure that batteries cannot accidentally short in storage.
Mini Screwdriver Safety
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only when performing tasks where the tool
bit comes within close proximity or may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners or cutting accessories
contacting a 'live' power source may make exposed metal parts of the power tool 'live' and could
give the operator an electric shock
• Hold the tool with a firm grip.
• Use the auxiliary handle(s), if provided. Loss of control can cause harm to the operator
• Always ensure the workpiece is secured. A properly secured workpiece using a vice or other
clamping equipment is held more secure than by hand
• Always wait until the tool has come to a complete stop before setting the tool down. The tool
insert can jam, leading to a loss of control over the power tool

Before Use

WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or changing
any accessories or making any adjustments.
Charging the battery
1. Plug the Battery Charger (1) into the Charging Connection Point (10) on the Handle (9)
2. Connect the Battery Charger into a power supply and switch the power supply ON
3. The red LED on the Battery Charge Level Indicator (8) will illuminate to indicate that the
battery is charging
4. When the tool's internal battery is fully-charged, the red LED on the Battery Charge Level
Indicator (8) will extinguish
5. Disconnect the Battery Charger from the power source and disconnect the tool from the
Battery Charger
Notes about battery charging:
Note: Batteries are an expendable supply whose capacity shortens over time. Always adhere to
the correct handling and charging instructions in the manual. If the battery does not hold charge
or working time is shortened, purchase a genuine Silverline replacement.
• The battery should be charged at ambient temperatures between 10 and 40°C
(ideally around 20°C)
• After charging, allow 15 minutes for the Battery to cool before use
• Ensure that the Battery Charger (1) is disconnected from the mains supply after use, and is
stored correctly
• DO NOT leave batteries on charge for extended periods and NEVER store batteries on charge
• The Battery Charger monitors battery temperature and voltage while charging. Remove the
battery once charging has been completed to maximise charge cycles of the battery and not
waste power
• Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in the battery can fail and the battery
could short. The charger will not charge faulty batteries. Use another battery, if possible, to
check correct functionality of the charger and purchase a replacement battery if a faulty battery
is indicated
• DO NOT store lithium-ion batteries in a discharged state long term. This can damage the
lithium-ion cells. For long-term storage, store batteries in a high-charge state.
• The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge cycles, the battery's operation
time and the maximum torque performance of the drill will slightly reduce. This decline will
continue until the battery has minimal capacity after 500 charge cycles. This is normal and not a
fault with the battery pack
Checking the Battery charge level
• To check the charge level of the battery, switch the tool ON (see 'Switching ON & OFF)
• While the tool is switched ON the Battery Charge Level Indicator (8) lights will illuminate to
reflect the current charge level:
Red only: Low charge, recharge
Red and Yellow: Medium charge
Red, Yellow and Green: Full charge
Fitting a Screwdriver Bit
• 1/4" Screwdriver Bits (7) can fit directly into the Bit Holder (3) or the additional Extension
Bit Holder (6)
• Ensure all Bits or accessories are fully inserted before operating the tool
