Tool Set Up

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:

Unlock and release the Trigger and disconnect Battery Pack before adjusting tool or installing accessories.

Charging

1.Place the Battery Pack on a dry fireproof surface in a room where the temperature is from 50–104° F.

Note: If recharging a newly spent Battery Pack, allow it to cool completely before charging.

Make sure the Battery Pack is undamaged; do not charge a cracked or leaking battery pack.

2.Disconnect the Cord from the Battery Charger. Attach the Adapter plug to a grounded, 120 V~, 60 Hz outlet.

3.Plug the Charger into the power supply and the green charging light will activate, showing that power is supplied to the Charger.

4.Slide the Battery Pack onto the Charger’s base. The red charging indicator light will activate

to show that charging is taking place.

Note: The Battery Pack’s capacity will increase somewhat during the first few charging cycles. A fully discharged battery will take about 3 to 5 hours to fully charge. CAUTION! Recharging the Battery Pack for more than 5 hours can damage the battery cells.

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

6.Unplug the Charger and disconnect it from the Battery Pack when finished.

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

8.Press the Battery Button to release Battery Pack from the Charger (or when removing it from the Drill).

9.Store the Charger and Battery Pack indoors, out of reach of children. WARNING! Do NOT use a different Charger or Battery to power this Drill.

General Operating Instructions

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:

Always make sure the Trigger Switch of the Cordless drill is in its “OFF” position, the Battery Pack is disconnected from the Drill, and the Direction Switch is centered in its mid-position (which locks the Trigger) prior to making any adjustments to the tool.

DO NOT install the Battery Pack until AFTER you complete the following steps to set up the Drill for use.

Refer to page 6 for the location of the parts of the Drill for the following steps.

1.The Drill is designed to accept up to 3/8” standard drill bits. Do not use larger drill bits in this Drill as damage to the gears and/or motor may result. Always use a drill bit that is designed for the specific drilling job.

2.To “lock” the trigger mechanism as a safety measure, press down the Direction Switch so that it is in the “center” position. This will prevent the drill turning on accidentally.

3.While holding the ring behind the collar of the chuck with one hand, rotate the collar of the Chuck counterclockwise, if needed, and place the desired drill bit or screw driver bit into the drill between the Chuck Jaws.

4.Hand tighten the Chuck until the bit is held securely in place, centered between the Chuck Jaws.

Keyless Chuck

Torque Adjustment Ring

 

5.Set the desired torque setting by rotating the Torque Adjustment Ring to desire setting.

a.The numbered speed settings from 1 to 20 are for driving screws, bolts and nuts.
