CHARGING AND INSTALLING BATTERY

IMPORTANT STEPS BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS DRILL
If you are using the cordless drill for the first time, the batteries must first be fully charged. A new battery, or one which has not been used for an extended period of time, achieves full performance only after 5 full charges and discharges of the battery. A substantial drop in operating period per charge indicates that the battery is worn out and must be replaced.

BATTERY CHARGER SAFETY GUIDELINES

• Always inspect the battery charger, cord and plug before each use.
• The supplied charger is suitable for charging KING CANADA batteries only.
• Protect battery charger from humidity and only operate in dry areas.
• Do not disassemble charger or operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, has been dropped or damaged in any way. Replace damaged charger immediately. Do not use damaged battery or charger.

CHARGING BATTERY
Start the charging procedure by plugging the charger to a 120V, 60Hz power source and inserting the battery upside down into the charger slot. The battery and the charger become warm during the charging process, this is normal and expected. To prevent incorrect battery insertion in the charger, insert the battery according to the position of the key in the charger.

CHARGER INDICATOR LIGHTS
The red light on the side of the charger indicates that the battery is fully inserted and charging has begun. If the red light does not come on, make sure the battery is fully inserted into the charger or check the power source. The green light indicates that the battery has completed recharging the battery. After charging is complete, disconnect the charger from its power source and then remove the battery.

INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY FROM DRILL
To install a battery (A) Fig.1 into the base (B) of the cordless drill, simply slide the battery up into the base of the drill and push it all the way until the battery clips (C) snap and hold the battery into place.
To remove the battery from the base of the drill, simultaneously press both battery clips on both sides of the battery and pull the battery away from the drill.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER
Your cordless drill is equipped with a variable speed trigger switch (A) Fig.2. The speed can be controled from the minimum to the maximum RPM just by the pressure applied to the trigger switch. Apply more pressure to increase speed and apply less pressure to decrease speed. Release trigger to stop drill.

FORWARD / REVERSE AND TRIGGER LOCK
Your cordless drill is equipped with a forward/reverse lever and a trigger lock (B) Fig.2. It is located above the trigger. This lever is designed to change the direction of rotation of the keyless chuck and to lock the trigger to help prevent accidental starts and battery discharge. For a forward rotation (with the chuck pointing away from you) move the lever to the left. For reverse rotation move the lever to the right. To lock the trigger, place the lever in the center position.

WARNING! Do not change the rotation direction until the drill chuck has come to a complete stop. Changing the rotation during an operation can cause damage to the tool.

ADJUSTABLE TORQUE SETTINGS
Your cordless drill features 21+1 torque settings for driving different types of screws into different types of materials. The output torque increases as the torque ring (A) Fig.3 is rotated from 1 to 21. Correct torque settings are as follows, setting 1-2 is ideal for driving small screws, setting 3-4 is ideal for driving medium sized screws into soft material, setting 5-6 is ideal for driving screws into soft and medium density materials, setting 7 is ideal for driving screws into hardwood, setting 8 is ideal for large screws. Use the highest setting (final torque setting 22, indicated by a drill bit) allows you to perform heavy duty drilling operations.

SPEED SELECTOR
Before an operation, set the speed selector switch (B) Fig.3 to the desired speed. Slide the speed selector towards the rear for low-RPM operation or towards the front for high-RPM operation. It is recommended to use the low-RPM setting for drilling large holes or driving screws, use the high-RPM setting for drilling small holes.

Warning! Do not attempt to change the speed setting during an operation, damage to the gear may result.

ELECTRIC BRAKE
This cordless drill is equipped with an electric brake. If the tool consistantly fails to stop quickly after the trigger is released, have the tool serviced.

2 POSITION HANDLE
This cordless drill comes with a 2 position handle (A) Fig.4 which can be installed on either side of the drill.
This handle allows greater drilling control during operations. To install the handle, simply screw it into the side of the drill.

LED LIGHT
Your cordless drill features a LED light system (B) Fig.4 which gets activated by pressing the trigger. This feature is ideal when working in partially lit work environments.

BUBBLE LEVEL
Your cordless drill features a bubble level (A) Fig.5 at the rear of the drill body, this feature allows the user to level the drill in order to achieve straight drilling and driving operations.

INSTALLING DRILL BIT IN KEYLESS CHUCK
To open the keyless chuck jaws, hold the chuck collar (A) Fig.6 firmly with one hand and turn the chuck sleeve (B) counterclockwise with the other hand. To close the chuck jaws, turn the chuck sleeve clockwise.
For small drill bits, open chuck jaws enough and insert the drill bit up to the flutes. For larger drill bits, insert the bit as far as it will go. Center the bit as you close the jaws of the keyless chuck by hand. This positions the drill bit properly, giving maximum contact between the chuck jaws and the drill bit shank.
Pay Attention! Drill bit must be properly inserted in keyless chuck with all three jaws holding the drill bit centered in the chuck. If not, this could cause the drill bit to be thrown from the chuckresulting in possible serious injury.
Warning! Before removing drill bit after any operation, let the drill bit cool down before attempting to remove it and touching it with your fingers, risk of burning!

OPERATION

OPERATIONAL STEPS-DRILLING
When drilling metal, it is recommended to use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating.

1. Make sure the drill bit is firmly locked in the keyless chuck and set the direction of rotation using the forward/reverse switch.
2. Set the torque setting ring to the highest setting.
3. Secure workpiece in vise or other type of support. Hold the drill firmly with both hands, place the point of the drill bit at the point to be drilled and depress trigger to start the drilling operation. Always use the higher speed setting for drilling small holes, use the lower speed setting for drilling larger holes.
4. Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough pressure to keep the drill bit cutting.
   Do not force the drill bit or apply sideways pressure.

OPERATIONAL STEPS-DRIVING SCREWS

1. Make sure to use the correct screwdriver bit that correctly fits the screw being driven.
2. Fasten screwdriver bit into the chuck, making sure the flat of the bit are gripped by the chuck jaws.
3. Set the torque setting ring to the appropriate setting as described in the adjustable torque setting section.

DRILLING WOOD OR PLASTIC
If backup material is not used, ease up on the pressure just before the bit breaks through the wood to avoid splintering. Finish the hole from the opposite side after the point breaks through.
If it binds, reverse the drilling operation to help remove the bit from the work.

DRILLING METAL
Make a center punch in the metal to be drilled for easier starting. Use just enough pressure to have keep the bit cutting. Do not apply great pressure on this tool when drilling metals. When drilling large holes, it is faster and easier on your power pack to first make a smaller hole and to then enlarge it to the size desired. Lubricate the tip of the bit occasionally with light oil for easier metal drilling. If it binds, reverse the drilling operation to help remove the bit from the work. It is not recommended to drill holes larger than 3/8” diameter through soft steel thicker than 1/8”.
Drilling through metal rapidly drains energy from your battery.

DRILLING MASONRY
Use carbide-tipped masonry bits for cider blocks, mortar, common brick, soft stone and other materials. The amount of pressure to be used is dependent upon the type of material being drilled. Less pressure is needed for soft materials and more pressure for harder materials.

FASTENING WITH SCREWS
The illustration on the next page illustrates how to fasten materials together with your cordless drill without stripping, splitting or separating the material being drilled.

1. Clamp the pieces together and drill a hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw to be used. If the material is soft, drill up to 2/3 of the length of the screw to be used and for hard material drill the entire length of the screw.
2. Unclamp the pieces and drill the second hole the same diameter as the screw shank in the first or top piece of wood.
3. If a flat head screw is used, coutersink the hole to make the head of the screw flush with the surface of the piece of wood. Then, apply even pressure when driving the screw. The screw shank clearance hole in the first or top piece allows the screw head to pull the two pieces together.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

WARNING: THERE ARE NO USER SERVICE-ABLE PARTS INSIDE
Preventative maintance performed by an unauthorized personnel may result in the misplacement of internal wires and componenets which could cause serious hazards. We recommend that all servicing be performed by a qualified KING CANADA service center technician.

BATTERIES
Pay attention to the battery power levels as the battery nears its end of life. If you notice a decrease in battery performance or a significant difference in running power between charges, then it is time to replace the battery. Failure to do so may damage the charger and cause improper operation.

LONG TERM BATTERY STORAGE SHOULD BE IN THE DISCHARGE STATE. Batteries last longer and recharge better when they are stored discharged. Fully recharge the battery before using after prolonged storage.

TOOL LUBRICATION
This cordless drill has been properly lubricated and will never require additionnal lubrication.

CLEANING
To avoid accidents, always remove the battery from the cordless drill before cleaning. The tool is most effectively cleaned with the use of an air compressor. Always wear safety glasses when using an air compressor. Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign objects. Do not insert pointed objects through these openings in the attempt to clean them.

CAUTION: Some cleaning products and solvents can damage the plastic parts of your cordless drill such as gasoline, chlorinated cleaning agents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.
