a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.

Charging Procedure (Fig. 1)
WARNING: The batteries in your tool are not fully charged at the
factory. Before attempting to charge them, thoroughly read all of the
safety instructions.
WARNING: When disconnecting the tool
from the charger, be sure to unplug the
charger from the outlet first then disconnect
the charger cord from the tool. Do not use the
tool while it is connected to the charger.
To charge your screwdriver, follow the steps
below.
1. Plug the output cord of the charger into
the socket (G) in the bottom half of the
screwdriver handle as shown in Figure 1.
2. Plug the charger into an appropriate
outlet.
3. Let the tool charge initially for 9 hours.
After the initial charge, under normal
usage, your tool should be fully charged
in 3 to 6 hours.

Important Charging Notes

1. After normal usage, your tool should be fully charged in 3 to 6
hours. If the batteries are run down completely, it may take up
to 6 hours to become fully charged. Your tool was sent from the
factory in an uncharged condition. Before attempting to use it, it
must be charged for at least 9 hours.
2. DO NOT charge the batteries in an air temperature below 40 °F
(4.5 °C), or above 105 °F (40.5°C). This is important and will
prevent serious damage to the batteries. Longest life and best
performance can be obtained if the batteries are charged when
the air temperature is 75 °F (24 °C).
3. The charger may hum and become warm to the touch while
charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a
problem.
4. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other
appliance;
FIG. 1
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which
turns power off when you turn out the lights;
c. Move the charger and tool to a location where the surrounding
air temperature is approximately 40 °F – 105 °F (4.5° –
40.5 °C).;
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool and charger to your
local service center.
5. The tool should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient
G
power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT
CONTINUE using product with its batteries in a depleted
condition.
6. To prolong battery life, avoid leaving on charge for extended
periods of time (over 30 days without use). Although overcharging
is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce overall battery
life.
7. The batteries will reach optimum performance after being cycled
5 times during normal usage. There is no need to run the batteries
down completely before recharging. Normal usage is the best
method of discharging and recharging the batteries.
