WARNING
-
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
– Lead from lead-based paints.
– Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. -
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
– Work in a well-ventilated area.
– Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
– Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote the absorption of harmful chemicals.
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 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 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 ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI 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 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
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 balance 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,
clothing, and gloves 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 at 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 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, breakage 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 hazardous 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 the 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
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts 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 damaged 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 temperature above 265 °F may cause an 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.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR DRILL DRIVER
Safety instructions for all operations:
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits:
Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill
bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely
without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the
workpiece.
At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely
without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive
pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in
personal injury.

NOTICE: Please refer to the battery and charger manuals for detailed operating information.
To Attach/Detach Battery Pack
Lock the trigger switch “OFF” on the tool by placing the direction-of-rotation
(forward/ center-lock/reverse) selector in the center position.
To attach the battery pack:
Align the raised rib on the battery pack with the grooves in the tool, and
then slide the battery pack onto the tool (Fig.1).
NOTICE: When placing the battery pack on the tool, be sure that the
raised rib on the battery pack aligns with the groove in the tool and that the
latches snap into place properly. Improper attachment of the battery pack can
cause damage to internal components.
To detach the battery pack:
Depress the battery release button, located on the front of the battery pack,
to release the battery pack. Pull the battery pack out and remove it from the
tool (Fig. 2).
WARNING
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore, the direction-
of-rotation (forward/center-lock/reverse) selector should always be locked in
the center position when the tool is not in use or when carrying it at your
side.
Direction-of-Rotation (Forward/Center-Lock/Reverse) Selector
WARNING
After tool use, lock the direction-of-rotation selector in the “OFF” position
(center-lock) to help prevent accidental starts and possible injury.
Your tool is equipped with a direction-of-rotation selector, located above
the trigger switch.
This selector is designed for changing the direction of rotation of the bit
and for locking the trigger in the “OFF” (center-lock) position (Fig. 3).
a. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the far right of the tool
for forwarding rotation.
b. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the far left of the tool for
reverse rotation.
c. Setting the switch in the “OFF” (center-lock) position helps reduce the
possibility of accidental starting when not in use.
NOTICE: To prevent gear damage, always allow the drill driver to come to
a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.
NOTICE: The drill driver will not run unless the direction-of-rotation
selector is engaged fully to the left or the right.
Variable-Speed Trigger Switch
Your tool is equipped with a variable-speed trigger switch. The tool can be
turned “ON” or “OFF” by depressing or releasing the variable-speed trigger
switch.
The variable-speed trigger switch delivers higher speed with increased trigger
pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure (Fig. 4).
Two-Speed Gearbox Switch
Your tool is equipped with a two-speed gearbox designed for drilling or
driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide switch is located on the top of
the tool to select either LO (1) or HI (2) speed (Fig. 5).
LO (1) speed provides higher torque and slower drilling speeds for heavy-duty
work or for driving screws, drilling large diameters, or tapping threads. Use
LO (1) speed for starting holes without a center punch, drilling metals or
plastic, drilling ceramics, or in applications requiring a higher torque.
HI (2) speed provides lower torque and faster speeds for lighter drilling
work. HI (2) speed is better for drilling wood and wood composites.
NOTICE: To prevent gear damage, always allow the drill driver to come to a complete stop before changing between High speed and Low speed.
Torque-Adjustment Ring
Your tool features 17+1 clutch settings. Output torque will increase as the
clutch ring is rotated from 1 to 17. The drill “ ” position will lock the
clutch to permit drilling and driving for heavy-duty work (Fig. 6).
When using the drill driver for different driving applications, increase or
decrease the torque in order to help prevent damaging screw heads, threads,
workpieces, etc.
The proper setting depends on the job and the type of bit, fastener, and
material you will be using. In general, use greater torque for larger screws.
If the torque is too high, the screws may be damaged or broken. For delicate
operations, such as removing a partially stripped screw, use a low torque
setting. For operations such as drilling into hardwood, use a higher torque
setting.
CAUTION Do not adjust the torque when the tool is running.
LED Worklight
Your tool is equipped with an LED work light, located on the base of the tool,
that illuminates when the variable-speed trigger switch is squeezed. This
provides additional light on the surface of the workpiece for operation in
lower light areas (Fig. 7).
The LED work light will automatically turn on with a slight squeeze on the
trigger switch before the tool starts running, and will turn off 8 to 12
seconds after the trigger is released.
When the tool and/or battery pack becomes overloaded or too hot, the internal
sensors will turn the tool off. If the tool and/or battery pack are
overloaded, the LED worklight will rapidly flash. Rest the tool for a while or
place the tool and battery pack separately under airflow for cooling.
The LED worklight will flash more slowly to indicate that the battery is at
low battery capacity. Recharge the battery pack.
Install and Remove Bits
WARNING
Do not use the power of the drill driver while grasping chuck to loosen or
tighten the bit. Friction burn or hand injury is possible if attempting to
grasp the spinning chuck.
WARNING
Do not use bits with damaged shanks.
Your tool is equipped with a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits in
the chuck jaws. The arrows on the chuck indicate the direction in which to
rotate the chuck body in order to GRIP (tighten) or OPEN (release) the chuck
jaws on the drill bit.
a. Lock the trigger switch “OFF” on the tool by placing the direction-of-
rotation (forward/centerlock/reverse) selector in the center position.
b. Remove the battery pack and rotate the torque-adjustment ring to the drill
setting “ ”.
To install the bit:
a. Rotate the chuck body counterclockwise, viewed from chuck end, to open the
chuck to approximately the drill bit diameter.
b. Insert a clean bit up to the drill-bit flutes for small bits, or as far as
it will go for large bits. Close the chuck by rotating the chuck body
clockwise and securely tighten it by hand (Fig. 8).
To remove the bit:
a. Rotate the chuck body counterclockwise, as viewed from the chuck end, to
open the chuck.
b. Remove the bit.
WARNING
Use protective gloves when removing the bit from the tool, or first allow
the bit to cool down. The bit may be hot after prolonged use.
Removable Belt Clip
Your tool is equipped with a removable belt clip that can be positioned on the
left side of the tool for convenient transport (Fig. 9).
Install the belt clip onto the tool:
a. Remove the battery pack from the tool.
b. Align the rib of the belt clip with the threaded hole on the base of the
tool.
c. Insert the screw and securely tighten the screw with a screwdriver.
Remove the belt clip from the tool:
d. Remove the battery pack from the tool.
e. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw that attaches the belt clip to the
tool.
f. Remove the screw and the belt clip.
Drill Bits
Always inspect drill bits for excessive wear. Use only bits that are sharp and
in good condition.
Twist Bits: Available with straight and reduced shanks for wood and
light-duty metal drilling.
High-speed bits cut faster and last longer on hard materials.
Carbide-Tipped Bits: Used for drilling stone, concrete, plaster, cement,
and other unusually hard nonmetal materials. Use continuous, heavy feed
pressure when using carbide-tipped bits.
Drilling (Fig.10)
WARNING
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power
tool operation or when blowing dust. If the operation is dusty, also wear a
dust mask.
a. Check that the direction-of-rotation selector is at the correct setting
(forward or reverse).
b. Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with clamps to keep it from
turning as the drill bit rotates.
c. Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled.
d. Squeeze the trigger switch to start the drill driver.
e. Move the drill driver bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure
to keep the bit “biting”. Do not force the drill driver or apply side pressure
to elongate a hole. Let the tool do the work.
f. When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center punch to mark the desired
location of the hole. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off-center
as the hole is started.
g. When drilling metals, use light oil on the drill bit to keep it from
overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the
drilling action.
h. If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill driver stalls, stop the
tool immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason
for jamming.
NOTICE: There are two rules for drilling hard materials. First, the
harder the material, the greater the pressure you need to apply to the tool.
Second, the harder the material, the slower the speed should be. If the hole
to be drilled is fairly large, drill a smaller hole first, then enlarge to the
required size with a larger bit; it’s often faster in the long run than
drilling a larger hole initially.
Wood Drilling
For maximum performance, use high-speed steel or brad-point bits for wood drilling.
a. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the
starting point.
b. Increase speed as the drill bit bites into the material.
c. When drilling “through” holes, place a block of wood behind the workpiece
to prevent ragged or splintered edges on the backside of the hole (Fig. 11).
NOTICE: Bits may overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes.
Metal Drilling
For maximum performance, use high-speed steel bits for metal or steel
drilling.
a. When drilling metals, use light oil on the drill bit to keep it from
overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the
drilling action.
b. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the
starting point.
c. Maintain a speed and a pressure that allow cutting without overheating the
bit. Applying too much pressure will:
- Overheat the drill driver.
- Wear the bearings.
- Bend or burn bits.
- Produce off-center or irregularly shaped holes.
Masonry Drilling
For maximum performance, use carbide-tipped masonry bits when drilling holes in brick, tile, concrete, etc.
a. Maintain a speed and a pressure that allow cutting without overheating the
bit or drill driver.
Applying too much pressure will:
- Overheat the drill driver.
- Wear the bearings.
- Bend or burn bits.
- Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes.
b. Apply light pressure and medium speed for best results in brick.
c. Apply additional pressure for hard materials such as concrete.
d. When drilling holes in tile, practice on a scrap piece to determine the best speed and pressure.
e. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.
NOTICE: Fig. 12 shows some tips for different drilling operations.
Driving Nuts and Bolts
WARNING Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
Variable-speed control must be used with caution for driving nuts and bolts with socket-set attachments. The technique is to start slowly, increasing speed as the nut or bolt runs down. Set the nut or bolt snugly by slowing the drill driver to a stop. If this procedure is not followed, the tool will have a tendency to torque or twist in your hands when the nut or bolt seats.
