Cordless Power Drive for Waterworks
WORK AREA
- Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and 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 dust or fumes.
- Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
PERSONAL SAFETY
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tools while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is OFF before attaching battery. Carrying tools with a finger on the switch or attaching batteries to tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
- Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on the tool. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
- Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The cordless power drive can be set up for valve operating or drilling/tapping, depending on the adapter used. Requires 18V Bosch ® battery (sold separately). For best results, use REED CPDWW with a minimum 4.0 Ah 18V Bosch ® battery. For heavy-duty work, consider an 8.0 Ah battery. As with all cordless power tools, a spare battery is always helpful.
ADAPTER INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
Power drive adapters such as TMPDA and VOKUCLUTCH snap into the power drive.
Push the adapter squarely into the power drive opening until the spring-loaded
pawls catch securely. To remove the adapter, push the adapter out of the power
drive. A large amount
of force may be required to actuate the spring-loaded pawls to release the
adapter.
NOTE: Adapters can only be installed/removed in only one direction.
SWITCH OPERATION
The power switch is a red switch located on the top of the handle. It has 3 positions: OFF, ON, and Locked. The OFF position is toward the battery and the ON position is away from the battery. If pressure is removed from the switch, it will return to the OFF position. When the switch is in the ON position, the switch can be rolled farther by pressing the side of the switch away from the battery and locking the switch in the ON position. Press the side of the switch toward the battery to release the lock.
GEAR SELECTOR OPERATION
The cordless power drive has a forward and a reverse gear. The gear selector is below the carrying handle. Pushing the gear selector toward the power switch will put the power drive in reverse and away from the switch for forwarding. When the power drive is off, the gear selector may not be able to move all the way into the desired position; do not force the selector. If the selector will not move fully into the desired position, the power drive can be turned on and off quickly to allow the selector to be positioned properly.
NOTE: The gear selector may be moved while the power drive is on but unloaded. Changing gears while the power drive is under load may damage the gearbox.
TOOL USE AND CARE
- Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
- Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it ON or OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- Disconnect the battery from the tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
- Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
- Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
- Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Accidents can be caused by poorly maintained tools.
- Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
SERVICE
- Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
- The Operator’s Manual contains specific safety information and instructions for your protection against serious injuries including:
- Loss of fingers, hands, arms, or other body parts if clothing or gloves get caught in moving parts.
- Electrical shock or burns from contact with wires, motor, or other power drive parts.
- Impact injuries, including broken bones if the machine tips over or the workpiece falls.
- Eye injuries, including being blinded by the workpiece or workpiece chips.
- Read and follow the safety labels on the machine.
Know the location and functions of all controls before using the tool.
