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
WARNING: Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
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 (approximately 20°C)
• Ensure batteries cannot accidentally short in storage
Battery and charger safety features
The battery and charger are fitted with a number of safety features that may be triggered
during charging 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 the tool 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

Drill Safety Warnings

WARNING: It is imperative to follow all national safety regulations concerning installation,
operation, and maintenance.
a) DO NOT allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool, and ensure that
operators are qualified and familiar with the operating and safety instructions.
b) Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
c) Use auxiliary handle(s) if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
d) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a 'live' wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool 'live' and could
give the operator an electric shock.
e) Battery chargers are for indoors use only. Ensure that the power supply and charger are
protected against moisture at all times.
f) When using the drill, use safety equipment including safety glasses or shield, ear
defenders, and protective clothing including safety gloves. Wear respiratory protection
suitable for the work being undertaken. A minimum rating of FFP2 is recommended. If
operating the tool causes discomfort in any way, stop immediately and review your method
of use.
g) Use metal and voltage detectors to locate concealed electric, water or gas lines. Avoid
touching live components or conductors.
h) Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
i) Ensure that the drill bit is securely fixed in the chuck. Insecure drill bits can be ejected
from the machine causing a hazard.
GB
j) Ensure the drill bit is not in contact with the workpiece prior to starting up the tool.
k) Before drilling, check there is sufficient clearance for the drill bit under the
workpiece.
l) DO NOT exert pressure on to the tool. To do so would shorten its service life.
m) Drill bits get hot during operation, allow to cool prior to handling them.
n) NEVER use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the bit.
o) If you are interrupted when operating the drill, complete the process and switch off
before looking up.
p) Where possible, use clamps or a vice to hold your work.
6
q) Examine the chuck regularly for signs of wear or damage. Have damaged parts
repaired by a qualified service centre.
r) ALWAYS wait until the drill has come to a complete stop before putting it down.
s) Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where necessary.

Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your new drill. 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
• This drill driver's battery has been shipped in low-charge condition. Charge the battery
before use.
Battery charger operation
• The charger and battery may become warm while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem
• Use the charger at normal room temperatures whenever possible. To prevent overheating,
do not cover the charger and do not charge the battery in direct sunlight or near sources
of heat
If the battery does not charge properly:
• Check current at power outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance
• If charging problems persist, have the drill, battery and battery charger checked by an
authorised Triton power tool technician
Charging the battery
1. Depress the Battery Release Grips (6) and remove the battery from the tool
2. Insert the battery into the Battery Charger (11). Do not use excessive force when inserting
the battery. If it does not slide into place easily, it is not being inserted correctly
Note: Initially, only the green LED may flash as it evaluates the status of the battery. When
charging the red LED will illuminate and the green LED will be OFF. When the battery is fully
charged the red LED will be OFF and the green LED will illuminate. The battery charger will
constantly monitor the condition of the battery when charging.
3. Remove the battery as soon as possible when completely charged
4. Disconnect the 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 discharged battery at
normal temperature
• Charging times may vary, for example, initial first-charge when new or using the optional
high-capacity battery
• It is not necessary to completely discharge the battery before recharging but you should not
attempt to recharge a battery that is already fully charged
• Battery charging can be interrupted at any point to use the battery. Under normal
conditions, the charger charges at a higher rate, reducing the charging rate as the battery
approaches full charge. An 80% charge is achieved after approximately ½ hour of charging
