CHARGING THE SCREWDRIVER BATTERY
The Cordless Screwdriver has a rechargeable state-of-the-art lithium battery. The
battery is charged with a charger that is plugged into the screwdriver on the front
side of the handle. The charging unit uses common prongs (both prongs are the
same) requiring no special polarized or grounded AC receptacles. Both the charger
unit and the plug are molded that cannot be opened for repair. To charge the battery
on the cordless screwdriver, use the following steps:
1. Plug the charger into a common AC receptacle (120V AC, 60 Hz).
2. Insert the charger plug into the receptacle on the handle.
3. Verify that the charging indicator light is on. The red indicator light turns on
while the battery is being charged. If the red light fails to come on, and the
Battery Status Indicator lights show the battery needs recharging, check to
make sure the AC receptacle is turned on (power present). If the charging indi-
cator light still does not turn on, the problem could be the AC charging unit.
Contact Alltrade Customer Service at 1-800-590-3723 (toll free) to purchase a
new charger.
4. Observe the Battery Status Indicator Lights located on the top of the Cordless
Screwdriver. Directly behind the status indicator lights is a battery test button.
Press this button to illuminate the status indicator lights. There is a green,
yellow, and red indicator light. If the battery is charged, all three lights will
come on. When the battery is low and needs recharging, only the yellow and
red light will illuminate. When the battery is too low to operate the screwdriver,
only the red light will illuminate.

STATUS BUTTON
The internal battery is not fully charged. Before first use, the battery requires
8-10 hours charge time to be fully charged. Subsequent recharging needs 3-5
hours for the battery to be fully charged.
Always recharge internal battery when tool performance begins to diminish.
Severe heat is most destructive to a battery; the more heat generated, the faster
the battery loses power. A battery that gets too hot can have a shortened life.
Never over-discharge a battery by using the tool even after tool performance
has decreased. Do not attempt to discharge a tool’s battery by continuing to
pull on the tool trigger. When tool performance begins to diminish, stop the tool
and recharge the battery for optimal performance.
Charge internal battery at ambient temperatures between 50° F – 104° F.
Store tool and battery in locations where temperatures will not exceed 120°F.
This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
CHARGER
Before using the AC battery charger unit, please read
carefully all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery and
product using battery.
When the battery is fully charged, the charging process
stops and the charging indicator light will automatically turn “OFF”.
Use only the charger which accompanied your product or direct replacement as
listed in this manual. Do not substitute any other charger. Use only Alltrade
approved chargers with your product.
Do not disassemble charger.
Do not use charger if it has been damaged, left outdoors in the rain, snow, wet
or damp environments, or immersed in liquid.
When the battery requires recharging, a 3-5 hour charge allows the tool to oper-
ate at full power. A charging indicator light on the charger will illuminate to show
that charging is taking place.
