WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand operator’s manual.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

Keep 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 which may ignite the dust or fumes.
keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

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 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 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. 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. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

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 a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat 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 power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing 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 bal- ance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from 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.

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 it 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break- age of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazard- ous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact ac- cidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con- tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam- aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem- perature above 130°C (265°F) may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

SERVICE

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR DRILL/DRIVER

To signal the end of charge, 1 light on the fuel gauge will flash for 2-3 seconds.

Installing Bits
Always remove the battery before inserting or removing bits. Select the proper style and size bit for the job. This tool is equipped with a spindle lock. The chuck can be tightened with one hand, creating higher grip strengths on the bit.

To open the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the counterclockwise direction.
When using drill bits, allow the bit to strike the bottom of the chuck. Center the bit in the chuck jaws and lift it about 1.58mm (1/16″) off of the bottom.
When using screwdriver bits, insert the bit far enough for the chuck jaws to grip the hex of the bit.
To close the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the clockwise direction. The bit is secure when the chuck makes a ratcheting sound and the sleeve can not be rotated any further.
To remove the bit, turn the sleeve in the counter- clockwise direction.

NOTE : A ratcheting sound may be heard when the chuck is opened or closed. This noise is part of the locking feature, and does not indicate a problem with the chuck’s operation.

Selecting Hammer, Drill or Drive Action (Cat. No. M12 FPD)

To use the hammer-drilling mode, rotate the torque selector collar until the hammer symbol appears in line with the arrow. Apply pressure to the bit to engage the hammering mechanism.

NOTE: When using carbide bits, do not use water to settle dust. Do not attempt to drill through steel reinforcing rods. This will damage the carbide bits.

To use the drilling only mode, rotate the torque selector collar until the drill symbol in line with the arrow. appears
To use the driving screws mode rotate torque selector collar until the desired clutch setting appears in line with the arrow.

The adjustable clutch, when properly adjusted, will slip at a preset torque to prevent driving the screw too deep into different materials and to prevent damage to the screw or tool.

The torque specifications shown here are approximate values obtained with a fully charged battery pack.

NOTE: Because the settings shown in the table are only a guide, use a piece of scrap material to test the different clutch settings before driving screws into the workpiece.

Selecting Speed
The speed selector is on top of the motor housing. Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before changing speeds. See “Applications” for recommended speeds under various conditions.

For Low speed, push the speed selector to display “1”.
For High speed, push the speed selector to display “2”.

Using the Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions: forward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mechanism, the control switch can only be adjusted when the ON/OFF switch is not pressed. Always allow the motor to come to a complete stop before using the control switch.

For forward (clockwise) rotation, push in the control switch from the right side of the tool. Check the direction of rotation be- fore use.
For reverse (counter- clockwise) rotation, push in the control switch from the left side of the tool. Check direction of rotation before use.
To lock the trigger, push the control switch to the center position. The trigger will not work while the control switch is in the center locked position. Always remove the battery pack before performing maintenance or changing accessories. Always lock the trigger or remove the battery pack before storing the tool and any time the tool is not in use.

Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed

To start the tool, grasp the handle firmly and pull the trigger.
NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger is pulled.
To vary the speed, increase or decrease the pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled, the greater the speed.
To stop the tool, release the trigger. Make sure the bit comes to a complete stop before laying the tool down.

Battery Pack Protection
To protect the battery from damage and extend its life, the tool’s intelligent circuit monitors current draw, temperature, and voltage drops.
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling, and short circuit situations that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge will flash, and then the tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery could become too high. If this happens, the fuel gauge will flash and the battery pack will shut off. Let the battery pack cool and then continue work.

APPLICATIONS

WARNING To reduce the risk of electric shock, check work area for hidden pipes and wires before drilling or driving screws.

Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials and Plastic
When drilling in wood, composition materials and plastic, select the drill- only operating mode. Start the drill slowly, gradually increasing speed as you drill. When drilling into wood, use wood augers or twist drill bits. Always use sharp bits. When using twist drill bits, pull the bit out of the hole frequently to clear chips from the bit flutes. To reduce the chance of splintering, back work with a piece of scrap wood. Select low speeds for plastics with a low melting point.

Drilling in Metal
When drilling in metal, select the drill-only operating mode. Use high speed steel twist drills or hole saws. Use a center punch to start the hole. Lubricate drill bits with cutting oil when drilling in iron or steel. Use a coolant when drilling in nonferrous metals such as copper, brass or aluminum. Back the material to prevent binding and distortion on breakthrough.

Drilling in Masonry
When drilling in masonry, select the hammer drill operating mode. Use high speed carbide-tipped bits. Drilling soft masonry materials such as cinder block requires little pressure. Hard materials like concrete require more pressure. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate. Do not let the bit spin in the hole without cutting. Do not use water to settle dust or to cool bit. Both actions will damage the carbide.

Driving Screws and Nut Running
Drill a pilot hole when driving screws into thick or hard materials. Select the driving screws mode. Set the torque selector collar to the proper position and set the speed to low. Use the proper style and size screwdriver bit for the type of screw you are using. With the screwdriver bit in the screw, place the tip of the screw on the workpiece and apply firm pressure before pulling the trigger. Screws can be removed by reversing the motor.

Overloading
Continuous overloading may cause permanent dam- age to tool or battery pack.
