WARNING Avoid the risk of electric shock or severe injury. When the power cable gets damaged it should only be replaced by the manufacturer or at a Authorized Service Center.
The build quality of the electric insulation is altered if spills or liquid gets into the tool while in use. Do not expose to rain, liquids and/or dampness.
WARNING Before gaining access to the terminals all power sources should be disconnected.

Power Requirements

WARNING Tools with double insulation and reinforced insulation are equipped with a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). This plug will only fit in the right way into a polarized outlet. If the plug cannot be introduced into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still doesn’t fit, call a qualified electrician to install for you a polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way. Both insulation types eliminate the need of both a grounded third power cord with three prongs or a grounded power connection.

WARNING When using an extension cable, verify the gauge is enough for the power that your product needs. A lower gauge cable will cause voltage drop in the line, resulting in power loss and overheating. The following table shows the right size to use depending on cable’s length and the ampere capability shown in the tool’s nameplate. When in doubt use the next higher gauge.

WARNING When operating power tools outdoors, use a grounded extension cable labeled “For Outdoors Use”. These extensions are especially designed for operating outdoors and reduce the risk of electric shock.

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING! Read carefully all safety warnings and instructions listed below. Failure to comply with any of these warnings may result in electric shock, fire and / or severe damage. Save all warnings and instructions for future references.


Work area

Keep your work area clean, and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas may cause accidents.


Never use the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.

Sparks generated by power tools may ignite the flammable material.


Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance while operating the tool.

Distractions may cause loosing control.


Electrical Safety

The tool plug must match the power outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.
Modified plugs and different power outlets increase the risk of electric shock

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, electric ranges and refrigerators.
The risk of electric shock increases if your body is grounded.

Do not expose the tool to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering into the tool increases the risk of electric shock.

Do not force the cord. Never use the cord to carry, lift or unplug the tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Using an adequate outdoor extension cord reduces the risk of electric shock.

If operating the tool in a damp location cannot be avoided, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Using a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of distraction while operating the tool may result in personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as safety glasses, anti-dust mask, non-skid shoes, hard hats and hearing protection used in the right conditions significantly reduce personal injury.

Prevent unintentional starting up. Ensure the switch is in the “OFF” position before connecting into the power source and / or battery as well as when carrying the tool.
Transporting power tools with the finger on the switch or connecting power tools with the switch in the “ON” position may cause accidents.

Remove any wrench or vice before turning the power tool on.
Wrenches or vices left attached to rotating parts of the tool may result in personal injury

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables a better control on the tool during unexpected situations.


Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from the moving parts.

Loose clothes or long hair may get caught in moving parts.

If you have dust extraction and recollection devices connected onto the tool, inspect their connections and use them correctly.
Using these devices reduce dust-related risks.


Power Tools Use and Care

Do not force the tool. Use the adequate tool for your application.
The correct tool delivers a better and safer job at the rate for which it was designed.

Do not use the tool if the switch is not working properly.
Any power tool that cannot be turned ON or OFF is dangerous and should be repaired before operating.

Disconnect the tool from the power source and / or battery before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing.
These measures reduce the risk of accidentally starting the tool.


Store tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons that are not familiar with the tool or its instructions to operate the tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.


Service the tool. Check the mobile parts are not misaligned or stuck. There should not be broken parts or other conditions that may affect its operation. Repair any damage before using the tool.

Most accidents are caused due to poor maintenance to the tools.

Keep the cutting accessories sharp and clean.
Cutting accessories in good working conditions are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Use the tool, components and accessories in accordance with these instructions and the projected way to use it for the type of tool when in adequate working conditions.
Using the tool for applications different from those it was designed for, could result in a hazardous situation.

Service
Repair the tool in a Authorized Service Center using only identical spare parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety warnings for drills

Choose the right bit

CAUTION

  • Choose the right bit for the work piece. It reduces the risk of severe injury and makes the job easier.
  • To work on metal or plastic, use bits suitable for metal. Sizes encompass a minimum of 0.03” (0.047” for a 0.5” chuck) and up to the chuck maximum capacity.
  • On wood, use regular bits suitable for wood. In any case,to drill 0.25” or smaller orifices, use bits designed to drillon metal.
  • Do not try using bits exceeding the chuck capacity
Before using the drill
  • Before starting to work with the drill, take a few minutes to assess the job to be done and double-check all the safety caution rules.
    WARNING

  • Fit the bit into the chuck. Remove the chuck wrench before drilling. Failure to follow this instruction shoots out the chuck wrench with great speed and cause severe injury.
    DANGER

  • Before drilling walls, floors or ceiling, look for any built-in objects, like power cables and conductors or pipes.
    DANGER

  • Verify the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the drill. Otherwise, it can unexpectedly start operating and could cause sever injuries
    CAUTION

  • Turn off and disconnect the tool before reversing the chuck’s direction as well as fitting or replacing bits.

**Wrong way to operate the drill.


**

While operating the drill

  • Use the auxiliary handles, if supplied with the tool. Loss of control may result in personal injury.

  • Hold the tool by the isolated parts. The cutting part of it could come into contact with hidden wiring or with its own power cord. Making contact with a power cord causes the tool metal parts get electrified and may result in electric shock to the user.

  • Do not force the tool to excessive workloads
    CAUTION

  • Turn off the drill immediately if the bit gets stuck into de work piece. Then, remove the bit off the work piece. Do not try removing stuck bits turning on and off the tool.

  • Do not apply too much force on the tool in order to accelerate the drilling procedure. The bit could get damaged and the tool would loose efficiency and useful life.
    WARNING

  • A large diameter bit causes a higher reactive force leading to losing control over the tool. To avoid this possibility, firmly hold the tool with both hands and keep balanced footing. Drill at 90°.

  • Be prepared to relax the drilling force when the bit goes through the material. Sudden movements could break the bit or damage the drill.
    CAUTION

  • Do not touch the bit or the orifices immediately after drilling. Wait until they cool down to handle them. Do not try to cool them down using water or oil.

  • Immediately after using do not set the tool where there are particles and / or dust. They can be absorbed into the tool mechanism and cause damage.

  • Use earplugs when using the drill. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

  • Use dust mask and dust extractor if necessary. Remember that materials such as asbestos, paint with lead, additives, some types of wood, metals or minerals are highly toxic.

  • Use safety glasses.

Right way to operate the drill.

Parts

Start Up

Bit fitting
  • Put the bit into the chuck until it stops. Fasten with the chuck wrench and tighten alternately the chuck into each of the orifices.

WARNING Clean burrs and any other foreign objects from the drill bit and drill bit, otherwise the drill bit may not be tight and cause serious personal injury

Turn on and operation control
  • Intermittent operation:
    Connect the plug into the power inlet. Press the switch (A) to start the drill. To stop, just release the switch.

  • Continuous Operation:
    Connect the plug into the power inlet. Press the switch (A) and block it pressing the continuous use button (B). To stop, press and then, release the switch.

Rotation direction
  • The rotation direction button is located on both sides of the drill (C).
  • To make the drill turning forwards and drill, press the rotation direction button with the arrow pointing towards the chuck.
  • To make it reversible press the rotation direction button with the arrow pointing towards the drill handle.
  • Changing the rotation direction can only be carried out when the switch is not pressed.
Drilling on wood
  • Fasten the work piece onto a stable base. You should never hold it with your hand or on your leg.
  • Apply pressure aligned with the bit. Pressure applied in an angle may cause the bit to bend or break.
  • To prevent thin material to chip, set a piece of scrap wood underneath the work piece.
  • Twist bits can be used to drill wood but overheat if the chips are not periodically removed from the orifices.
  • To prevent chipping, when finishing drilling orifices that go through one side to the other, stop the drill before the orifice is open. Complete the orifice drilling through the opposite side.
Drilling on metal
  • To gain maximum performance, when drilling metal or steel, use high-speed steel bits.

  • Start drilling at very low speed to prevent the bit to slide out of the starting point.

  • Keep speed and pressure that allows cutting without overheating the bit.
    Applying too much pressure may overheat the drill, wear out the cogs, bend or burn the bits, and/or produce off-center or irregular shaped orifices.

  • When drilling large orifices in metal, start with a small bit and then, finish with a larger bit.

  • Lubricate the bit with oil to improve the drilling action and increase the bit useful life.

Maintenance

Chuck change
  • Using a screwdriver remove the left-threaded safety screw with a clockwise movement.
  • Fit the long side of a Hex. key in a vise and insert the short side of the Hex. key to the chuck. Close the jaws.
  • Move the rotation selector button (C) into the reverse position (page 7) and fastening with a firm hand activate the drill. The chuck will be released with the turn.
  • Set the new chuck turning it into the drill thread until it stops.
  • Open fully the jaws and set the screw threading counter-clockwise. Tighten with a screwdriver.
Cleaning and care
  • To guarantee adequate motor cooling, always keep slots clean and free of obstructions.
  • Regularly inspect all the mounting screws. Double-check they are properly tighten. If any screw is loose tighten immediately
Service
  • To guarantee adequate motor cooling, always keep slots clean and free of obstructions.
  • Regularly inspect all the mounting screws. Double-check they are properly tighten. If any screw is loose tighten immediately.
Service
  • Service should only be made in a Authorized Service Center. Service and maintenance performed by non-qualified people may be dangerous and lead to personal injuries. It also makes the product Warranty void.
Lubrication
  • We recommend lubricating the tool transmission every carbon brush change in a Authorized Service Center.
Service Carbon brush replacement
  • Carbon brushes should be checked periodically.
  • When one or both carbon brushes show signs of wear go to a Authorized Service center to have both carbon brushes replaced. When replaced, see if the new carbon brushes move freely in the carbon brush housing. Ask to turn on the tool during five minutes to make the contact in the carbon brushes and the commuter even.
  • Use only original spare carbon brushes, designed specifically with the right strength and electric resistance for each type of motor. Carbon brushes with different specifications may damage the motor.
  • When replacing carbon brushes, always change both.
