ELECTRICAL SAFETY Your charger has been designed for a specific mains voltage. Always check that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Your charger is double insulated in accordance with EN 60335; therefore no earth wire is required. 9 ENGLISH Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland only) 9. Battery 10. Battery release button 11.

End of charge indicator (F2K/F2B models) ASSEMBLY x x x x x x x Should your mains plug need replacing and you are competent to do this, proceed as instructed below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorised repair agent or a qualified electrician. Disconnect the plug from the supply and remove the fuse from the plug. Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug with bared copper conductors is dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet. Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs fitted with a 5 A fuse (1). The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at the connection points of most good quality plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points in the plug (see above). Brown is for Live (L) (2), blue is for Neutral (N) (4). Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws. If the plug has a fuse cover, make sure that the fuse cover is fitted. Do not use the plug if the fuse cover is missing or damaged. Fitting and removing the battery (fig. B) x To fit the battery (9), line it up with the receptacle on the tool. Slide the battery into the receptacle and push until the battery snaps into place. x To remove the battery, push the release button (10) while at the same time pulling the battery out of the receptacle. Fitting and removing a drill bit or screwdriver bit (fig. A & C) This tool is fitted with a keyless chuck to allow for an easy exchange of bits. x Lock the tool by setting the forward/reverse slider (2) to the centre position (fig.

HP126F2/HP146F2 - Removing and fitting the chuck (fig. D) The chuck on these models can be easily removed and refitted. When your project entails both drilling and screwdriving, fit a screwriver bit in the spindle and a drill bit in the chuck: you will then only need to remove the chuck for screwdriving and refit it for drilling. The screwdriver bit can be left in the spindle while drilling. You can also fit drill bits with a hexagonal shaft in this way. Never use a light socket. OVERVIEW (fig.
