INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT! The manufacturer is not liable for any direct and/
! !
or indirect damage caused by incorrect connections.
IMPORTANT! Before carrying out the following operations, make
! !
sure that the plug is disconnected from the mains.
TRANSPORT
Always use the packaging or case when transporting the tool; this
will protect it from impact, dust and humidity which can compromise
normal operation.
When transporting the tool remove the battery.
MOVING
Position the rotation direction switch in the middle position in order to
prevent accidental start-up.
Grip the tool by its handle and after use put it down upright without
banging using the base of the battery.
STARTING UP
When choosing where to use the electrical tool, the following should
be considered:
- that the place is not damp and is protected from the elements;
- that there should be a large operational area free from obstacles;
- that there is good lighting;
- that it needs to be used close to the general differential switch (for
the battery charger);
- that the power supply system is earthed and conforms to the stan-
dards (only if the electrical tool is class 1, which is equipped with a
plug with earth cable);
- that the room temperature should be between 10° and 35° C;
- that the environment is not in a flammable/explosive atmosphere.
Take out the machine and components and visually check that they
are perfectly intact; then proceed to thoroughly clean them in order to
remove any protective oils used for transport.
BATTERY CHARGING (fig.E)
IMPORTANT! Before using the drill it is necessary to fully charge
! !
the battery.
! ! IMPORTANT! Recharge only with the battery charger indicated
by the manufacturer. An inappropriate battery charger can cause
a fire hazard when used with other battery units.
3) Take out the battery from its housing in the tool by operating the
locking device (Fig. E pos. 4).
2) Insert the plug (Fig. E pos. 11) into the socket (Fig. E pos. 12) of
the battery.
3) Plug the battery charger into the 230V~50Hz power socket.
4) When the red LED lights up (Fig. E pos. 14), the battery is charging.
5) The battery has finished charging once the red LED light switches
off.
The green LED (Fig. E pos.13) is always on and indicates the pre-
sence of electricity.
6) Once charging is complete, unplug from the socket, remove the
plug and insert the battery into its housing in the tool until you hear
it click into place.
In order to keep the battery efficient, do not fully discharge it.
Fully charging the battery:
- After every use.
- At least every 4 months, even in cases of disuse.
- If while working you notice a clear drop in the performance of the tool.
The factors that influence the battery lifetime are: number of charge/
empty cycles, stress from heavy use, time since it was manufactured,
lack of maintenance, absence of charging, permanence of temperatures
greater than 20°C.
