The warnings, cautions, and instructions detailed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that occur.

1. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Clean areas prevent injuries.
2. CONSIDER THE WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp, wet, or poorly lit locations. Don’t expose your tool to the rain. Keep the work area well lit. Don’t use tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All children should be kept away from the work area. Don’t let them handle machines, tools and extensions cords.
4. STORE UNUSED EQUIPMENT. Store equipment in a dry area to inhibit rust. The equipment also should be in a high location or locked up to keep out of the reach of children.
5. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended.
6. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. Don’t use a tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
7. DRESS PROPERLY. Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry, they can get caught in moving parts. Protective, non-electrically conductive gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and keep it from harm.
8. USE EYE PROTECTION. Use a full face mask if the work you’re doing produces metal filings, dust or wood chips. Goggles are acceptable in other situations. Wear a clean dust mask if the work involves creating a lot of fine or coarse dust.
9. DO NOT TOUCH BITS OR BLADES WITH HANDS AFTER USE. They can become extremely hot after the job is completed.
10. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work if possible. It’s safer than using your hands and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
11. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or across machines that are running.
12. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.

14. REMOVE ALL ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from any rotating tool before using it.
15. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry tools with a finger on the switch. Be sure the direction switch is in the STOP position when not in use or when changing attachments.
16. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing & use common sense. Don’t operate any tool when you are tired.
17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS.
    • Before using the tool, any part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
    • Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings, and other conditions that may affect its operation.

    • Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in the instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center? Don’t use the tool if the switch does not turn on and off properly.
18. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. When drilling or cutting into walls, floors, or wherever “live” electrical wires may be, try to ascertain whether there is a danger of shock.
19. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY CHARGER

CHARGE BATTERY AT LEAST 6 HOURS before initial use.

1. CHARGE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. The room temperature must be higher than 32°F and lower than 104°F.

METHOD 1 (Fig.4)

To install the driver bit/drill bit:

• Step 1: Rotate the chuck (A) anticlockwise by hand to open the chuck jaws. (If A was screwed too tight, please rotate it with more force).
• Step 2: Place the driver/drill bit in the chuck as far as it will go.
• Step 3: Then rotate the chuck (A) clockwise by hand to tighten the chuck jaws.

Do it in reverse to remove the driver bit/drill bit.

METHOD 2（Fig.5 Fig.6 Fig.7）

• To install the driver bit/drill bit:

• Step 1: Open the chuck jaws: move the forward/reverse button to the right side of the tool to make it do reverse rotation.

• Step 2: Hold the keyless chuck with one hand and squeeze the trigger with the other hand to open the chuck jaws.

• Step 3: Carefully center the driver bit/drill bit between the jaws.

• Step 4: Move the forward/reverse button to the left side, it will do forward rotation.

• Step 5: Hold the keyless chuck with one hand and squeeze the trigger slowly until it is locked in place.

• Do it in reverse to remove the driver bit/drill bit.

NOTE: This drill is compatible with the accessories of other brands. However, since the drill chuck is 3/8 inch, the diameter of drill bits/driver bits you purchase cannot exceed 3/8 inch.

ADJUSTMENT

REVERSING SWITCH (Fig.8)

• The reversing switch determines the rotational direction of the tool and also serves as a lock-off button. You can choose between clockwise and anticlockwise rotation. To avoid causing damage to the gearing it is advisable to change the direction of rotation only when the tool is at a standstill.
• To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/reverse control button on the right side of the tool.
• To select reverse rotation, depress the forward/reverse control button on the left side of the tool.

NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This and the impacting noise that the tool makes is normal and does not indicate a problem.

GEAR SHIFTING (Fig.9)

The tool is equipped with two separate gear ranges, low gear, and high gear. Low gear provides high-torque and slower drilling speeds for heavy-duty work or for driving screws. High gear provides faster speeds for drilling lighter work.

• Select LOW speed for applications requiring higher power and torque.
• Select HIGH speed for fast drilling, drilling or driving applications.

NOTE

• Never change speeds while the tool is running. Failure to obey this caution could result in serious damage to the drill.
• If you have difficulty changing from one gear range to the other, turn the chuck by hand until the gears engage.

Torque adjustment collar(Fig.1)

The torque can be adjusted in 0-15 graduation by turning the adjusting collar. Circling the collar are numbers and a drill bit symbol. These numbers are used to set the clutch to deliver a torque range. The higher the number on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the fastener which can be driven. To select any of the numbers, rotate until the desired number aligns with the arrow.

NOTE: Before the actual operation, drive a trial screw into your material or a piece of duplicate material to determine which torque level is required for a particular application.

Trigger Switch (Fig.10)

To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch . To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. The chuck will stop as soon as the trigger switch is fully released. The variable speed switch enables you to select the best speed for a particular application. The more you squeeze the trigger, the faster the tool will operate. Use lower speeds for starting holes without a center punch, drilling in metals or plastics, or driving screws. For maximum tool life, use variable speed only for starting holes or fasteners.

MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION: Always remove the battery before carrying out any work on the machine.

• To clean, always use a dry or moist, but not wet towel. Many cleaning agents contain chemical substances which may cause damage to the plastic parts of the machine. Therefore do not use any strong or flammable cleaners such as gas, paint thinner, turpentine or similar cleaning agents.
• Always keep air ventilation holes free of dust deposits to prevent overheating.
• Keep the vents clear of dust and debris. This will help prevent possible electrical shorts and ensure proper cooling.
• Keep the tool housing and handle clean and free of oil and grease by using mild soap and a damp (not wet) cloth.
• Avoid overloading your drill. It will become hot and lose efficiency. Running it free of load for a minute or two will allow it to cool itself to normal temperature. 6. Inspect the cord regularly and have it replaced by an authorized repair facility if it is damaged.
• Lubrication for this tool is done at the factory and should not be necessary again under normal use.
• An authorized repair center should do any repairs, modification, or maintenance that involves disassembling the grinder.
• Any damage to the tool should be corrected at an authorized repair center.
