Work Piece and Work Area Set Up

Note: The Battery Pack’s capacity will increase somewhat during the first few charging cycles.

A fully discharged Battery Pack will take about 1 hour to fully charge. Recharging the Battery Pack for more than 1 hour can damage the battery cells.

7.While charging, the Battery Pack, Charger, and Power Supply may become warm to the touch. This is normal, and does not indicate a problem.

8.The red LED will light continuously when the Battery Pack is charged. Unplug the Charger and disconnect it from the Battery Pack when finished.

9.Allow the Battery Pack to cool completely before using it.

10.Press the Battery Button to release Battery Pack from the Charger.

Safety

1. Designate a work area that is clean and well‑lit.	2.	Secure loose work pieces using a vise or clamps

General Operating Instructions

1.Insert the fully charged Battery Pack (11) into the base of the Tool, making sure that it clicks into place securely. Be sure the Battery Pack is securely seated into the Drill Handle so it does not fall off during use.

2.Slide the Direction Switch (which should initially be centered in the “lock” position) to the right for forward drilling/fastening, or to the left for reversing the operation. Use the “reverse” setting only to remove screws or to release jammed drill bit.

NOTICE: Do not change direction of rotation while Chuck is rotating. Wait until Chuck has come to a complete stop before changing direction.

3.If using the Drill to insert or remove screws, position the tip in the item to insert or remove.

Wood Drilling

a.For best performance, use high speed drill bits for wood drilling and turn the torque setting to the drill icon.

b.Start wood drilling at very low speed to keep the bit from slipping. Increase speed as drill bit bites into wood.

c.When drilling through holes, place a block or wood behind the workpiece to prevent ragged edges on the back side of the hole.

Metal Drilling

a.For best performance, use high speed drill bits for metal or steel drilling and turn the torque setting to the drill icon.
