Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

1. Work area safety

   • Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.
   • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

   • Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
   • Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   • Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power 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 power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   • If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

   • Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   • Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   • Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   • If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
   • Do not let familiarity gained from the frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4. Power tool use and care

   • Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
   • Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   • Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool acciden­tally.
   • Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for driving in and loosening screws as well as for drilling in wood, metal and plastic.

Before Putting Into Operation

• Charging The Battery
  • The battery charger supplied is matched to the Li-ion battery installed in the machine. Do not use another battery charger.
  • The Li-ion battery is protected against deep discharg­ing. When the battery is empty, the machine is switched off through a protective circuit: The tool holder no longer rotates.
  • In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery pack may become too hot to permit charging. Allow time for the battery to cool down before recharging. When the battery pack is charged for the first time and after prolonged storage, the battery pack will accept a 100% charge after several charge and discharge cycles.
• To Remove Or Install Battery Pack (Fig. A)
  • Depress the battery pack release button (7) to release and slide the battery pack out from your tool. After recharge, slide it back into your tool. A simple push with slight pressure will be sufficient.

OPERATION

1. ON/OFF Switch (Fig. B)
   Depress the ON/OFF switch(B) to start and release it to stop your drill. The on/off switch is fitted with a brake function which stops your chuck immediately when you quickly release the switch. It is also a variable speed switch that delivers higher speed and torque with increased trigger pressure. Speed is controlled by the amount of switch trigger pressure.

   • Warning: Do not operate for long periods at low speeds because excess heat will be produced Internally.

2. Switch Lock
   The switch trigger can be locked in the OFF position. This helps to reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not in use. To lock the switch trigger, place the rotation control in the centre position.

3. Reversible (Fig. C1, C2)
   For drilling and screw driving use forward rotation (4) marked ” ◄ ” (lever is moved to the left). Only use reverse rotation marked ” ► ” (lever is moved to the right) to remove screws or release a jammed drill bit.

   • WARNING: Never change the direction of rotation when the chuck is rotating, wait until it has stopped!

4. Two-speed Gear Control (Fig. D)
   The drill has a two-speed gear control designed for drilling or driving at LOW (the mark is 1) or HIGH (the mark is 2) speeds. A slide switch is located on top of the drill to select either LOW or HIGH speed. When using the drill in the LOW speed range, the speed will decrease and the drill will have greater power and torque. When using the drill in the HIGH speed range, the speed will increase and the drill will have less power and torque.

   • Gear I
     Low-speed range: for screw driving or working with large drilling diameters.

   • Gear II
     High-speed range: for working with small drilling diameters.

   • WARNING: To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation or the two-speed gear control.

5. Chuck Adjustment (Fig. E)
   To open the chuck jaws rotate the front section of the chuck. Insert the drill bit between the chuck jaws and rotate the front section in the opposite direction. Ensure the drill bit is in the centre of the chuck jaws. Finally, firmly rotate the front chuck section in the opposite directions. Your drill bit is now clamped in the chuck.

6. Torque Adjustment (Fig. F)
   (Screw the driving force of your drill driver)The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment ring. The torque is greater when the torque adjustment ring is set on a higher setting. The torque is less when the torque adjustment ring is set on a lower setting.
   Make the setting as follows:

7. Automatic Spindle Lock (Fig. G)
   The automatic spindle lock allows you to use it as a regular screwdriver. You can give an extra twist to firmly tighten a screw, loosen a very tight screw or continue working when the battery energy has expired. For manual screwdriver purposes, the chuck is automatically locked when the tool is off.

8. Using The LED Light (Fig. H)
   The LED light allows you to keep a clear view under less illuminated circumstances. To turn on the light simply press the on/off switch. When you release the on/off switch, the light will go out.

9. Drilling
   When drilling into a hard smooth surface, use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. Hold the tool firmly and place the tip of the bit at the point to be drilled. Depress the switch trigger to start the tool. Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure to keep the bit rotating. Do not force or apply side pressure to elongate a hole.

   • Tungsten carbide drill bits should always be used for concrete and masonry. When drilling in metal, only use HSS drill bits in good condition. Always use a magnetic bit holder (not included} when using short screwdriver bits. When screw-driving, apply a small quantity of liquid soap or similar to the screw threads to ease insertion.

10. Tool Protection System
    The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following conditions:

    • Overloaded: The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current. In this situation, release the Trigger Switch on the tool and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the Trigger Switch again to restart.
    • Overheated: Under the condition above, if the tool does not start, the Battery is overheated. In this situation, let the Tool and Battery cool before pulling the Trigger Switch again.
    • Low battery voltage: The remaining Battery capacity is too low and the tool will not operate. In this situation, remove and recharge the Battery.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

1. Why Does The Drill Not Turn On When You Press The Switch?
   The forward/reverse rotation control, which is on top of the trigger, is positioned in the lock function. Unlock the forward/reverse rotation control by putting it into the required rotation position. Push the trigger and the drill will start to rotate. Or if the LED light flashes at the same time you press the Switch, please charge the battery.

2. The Drill Stops Before The Screw is Completely Tightened. Why?
   Verify the torque position of the torque adjusting ring, you can find the torque-adjusting ring between the chuck and the drill body. Position 1 is the lowest torque (screw driving force) and position 18 is the highest torque (screw driving force). The position  is for drill operation. Regulate the torque adjusting the ring to a higher position to reach the best result.

3. Reasons for Different Battery Pack Working Times
   Charging time problems, as above, and having not used a battery pack for a prolonged time will reduce the battery pack working time. This can be corrected after several charge and discharge operations by charging & working with your drill. Heavy working conditions such as large screws into hard wood will use up the battery pack energy faster than lighter working conditions. Do not recharge your battery pack below 40° F and above 1 04 ° F as this will affect performance.

MAINTENANCE

• Clean the drill driver using a soft, damp cloth. Do not use detergents or flammable products which may damage the tool.
• Your cordless drill driver does not require regular mechanical maintenance such as greasing the bearings or the rollers.
• Check the state of the charger power cable before each use.

BATTERY CAPACITY INDICATOR
