Owner’s Manual
NOTE: While the battery is placed in the charger, the RED LED indicator light will remain on. 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 immediately after it has been fully charged.This can give rise to the battery pack being overcharged and a reduced battery life. DO NOT leave the battery pack in the charger for more than 8 hours.
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.
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, simply 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.
