The battery should be recharged when the drill does not operate up to its normal performance level. Do not continue to operate the drill in this depleted capacity. Recharge the battery immediately.

To increase the life of your battery, do not leave the battery charging for more than 1 hour. While this is not a safety concern, overcharging may reduce the life of the battery(ies).

Overtime, if drill is not used, the battery will lose capacity. For maximum performance recharge the battery after prolonged storage or non-use periods.

NOTE: Before inserting or removing the battery from the charging base, always ensure that the base is not plugged into a 120V power source.

1.To begin charging, remove the battery pack from the tool by pressing on the battery release buttons on either side of the battery pack and pulling down.

2.Plug the battery pack into the battery charger making sure the positive (+) and negative (-) poles of the battery match the positive (+) and negative (-) poles of the battery charger.

NOTE:The battery will only fit into the battery charger and the tool one way.

3.Plug the battery charger into any standard 120 Volt wall outlet.The RED LED indicator on the battery charger will illuminate to indicate that the battery is charging.

4.Full charging will take 1 hour.

NOTE: While the battery is placed in the charger, the RED LED indicator light will remain on. After one hour and a complete charge, the GREEN LED indicator light will illuminate to let you know it is now safe to use the battery.

If charging more than one battery, wait at least 15 minutes between each charge.

Use only the battery charger that is supplied with this tool. Using another charger may cause damage to the battery.

WARNING: Never charge a battery pack again imme- diately after it has been fully charged.This can give rise to the battery pack being overcharged and a reduced battery life.

Using The Drill

CAUTION: Always make sure that the tool is switched OFF and the battery pack is removed from the drill before changing any bits. Loosen the keyless chuck by holding the ring and turning the sleeve counter clockwise. Select the drill bit or screwdriver you want to use and place it in the keyless chuck.Twist the sleeve of the keyless chuck clockwise to tighten it, making sure the drill bit remains in the center of the keyless chuck’s teeth.

Owner’s Manual

Twist the 24 setting torque control ring to the desired setting. Lower settings are better for light work such as driving screws into soft materials. Higher settings are recommended for drilling into harder surfaces.

When properly adjusted, the clutch will slip at its present torque setting to prevent driving the screw too deep or to prevent damage to the tool.

To operate the drill in forward setting, sim- ply keep the Forward/Lock/Reverse switch flat against the side of the drill as shown.To change to reverse setting, move the Forward/ Lock/Reverse switch until it is flat against the

opposite side of the drill. Keeping the Forward/Lock/Reverse switch in the center position locks the drill and prevents unintentional use. It is recommended that the Drill is in the locked position when it is not in use or is being stored.

CAUTION: Always check the direction of the rotation before using the drill.

The speed of the drill is increased by the amount of pressure you place on the ON/OFF trigger switch.The less pressure you put on the trigger switch, the slower the drill will go.

Your drill comes with an automatic braking function that quickly stops the chuck from turning when the trigger switch is released.

Your drill has two speed ranges; low speed (position 1) (0-400 rpm) and high speed (position 2 ) (0-1100 rpm).

Screwdriver Operation

Place the point of the screwdriver bit into the head of the screw and apply slight pressure to the tool. Press the trigger switch slightly and then gradually increase the drill speed. Release the trigger switch as soon as the clutch engages. Note: Starting the drill at too high of a speed can damage the drill bit or reduce the life of the bit.

Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the screw head or the screw may become damaged or will not be inserted properly. When driving wood

screws, pre-drill pilot holes into the surface to make driving easier.This will also prevent the wood from splitting.

Note: When drilling, the drill bit can become stuck. When this happens a very high torque will be produced. Always take care to hold the drill firmly to prevent possible damage or injury.
