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.

1. WORK AREA SAFETY
   a) Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   b) 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.
   c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
   a) 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.
   b) 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.
   c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   d) 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.
   e) 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.
   f) 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
   a) 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.
   b) 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.
   c) 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.
   d) 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.
   e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   f) 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.
   g) 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.
   h) 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.

4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
   a) 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.
   b) 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. c) 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.
   d) 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.
   e) 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.
   f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   g) 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.
   h) 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.

5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
   a) 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.
   b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
   c) 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.
   d) 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.
   e) 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.
   f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause an explosion.
   g) 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.

NOISE INFORMATION

VIBRATION INFORMATION

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 62841:

Drilling into metal| Vibration emission value ah,D = 4.02 m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²
Impact drilling into concrete| Vibration emission value ah,ID = 8.23 m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²

The declared vibration total value and the declared noise emission value have been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration total value and the declared noise emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING! The vibration and noise emissions during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used: How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled. The tool is in good condition and well maintained. The use of the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition. The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti-vibration and noise accessories are used. And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.
WARNING! To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period helping to minimize your vibration and noise exposure risk. Always use sharp chisels, drills, and blades. Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate). If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti- vibration and noise accessories. Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool used across a number of days.

Forward rotating: push the forward/reverse rotation control (4) to the right (the drill points to you). It is used for drilling and screw driving. Reverse rotation: push the forward/reverse rotation control (4) to the left (the drill points to you). It is used 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 (See Fig. D)
This drill has a two-speed gear control (3) designed for drilling or driving at low or high speeds. A slide switch is located on top of the drill to change between gears. When using the drill in the low gear, speed will decrease but the drill will have greater torque. At higher speeds, the torque will be reduced. GEAR I Low speeds range: for screwdriver  r working with large drilling diameter Gear II High-speed range: for working with small drilling diameter

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 (See Fig. E)
To open the chuck jaws rotate the front section of the chuck (1). Insert the drill bit between the chuck jaws and rotate the front section in the opposite direction. Ensure the drill bit is in the center 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 (See Fig. F)
(Screw driving force of your drill) The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment ring (2). 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:
1 – 4 for driving small screws
5 – 9 for driving screws into soft material
10 – 14 for driving screws into soft and hard material
15 – 20 for driving screws into hardwood
21 -22 for driving larger screws
for heavy drilling
for drilling in masonry and concrete

7. USING THE WORK LIGHT
The work light (9) will illuminate whenever the On/Off switch (10) is pressed. LED lighting increases visibility, great for dark or enclosed areas.
8. BELT CLIP

Your tool is equipped with a battery capacity indicator. Press the on/off switch halfway or fully, the battery capacity indicator will light up to show the amount of charge left in the battery.

10. 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 On/Off switch (10) to start the tool. Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. For drilling in metal or wood, turn the adjustment ring (2) to the drill position . For drilling in masonry or concrete, turn to the torque selector to the hammer position .

**** 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 lubricant to the screw threads to ease insertion.

11. DISPOSAL OF AN EXHAUSTED BATTERY PACK

To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of the battery pack properly. This battery pack contains Lithium batteries. Consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options. Discharge your battery pack by operating your drill, then remove the battery pack from the drill housing and cover the battery pack connections with heavy-duty adhesive tape to prevent short circuit and energy discharge. Do not attempt to open or remove any of the components.
12. OVERLOAD PROTECTION
When overloaded, the motor comes to a stop. Relieve the load on the machine immediately and allow cooling for approx. 30 seconds at the highest no-load speed.
1 3. TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT OVERLOAD PROTECTION
This power tool has over-load protection built-in. If the load is too high or the battery temperature exceeds 75°C, the electronic control switches off the power tool until the battery has cooled.
14. PROTECTION AGAINST DEEP DISCHARGING
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep discharging by the “Discharging Protection System”. When the battery is empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. WHY DOES THE DRILL NOT TURN WHEN YOU PRESS THE SWITCH?
The forward/reverse rotation control (4), which is on top of the trigger, is positioned in the lock function. Unlock the forward/reverse rotation control (4) by putting it into the required rotation position. Push the On/Off switch (10) and the drill will start to rotate.

2. THE DRILL STOPS BEFORE THE SCREW IS COMPLETELY TIGHTENED. WHY?
Verify the torque position of the torque adjusting ring (2), 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 22 is the highest torque (screw-driving force). The position is for drill operation. The position is for hammer drill operation. Regulate the torque adjusting 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 charges and discharge operations by charging & working with your drill. Heavy working conditions such as large screws into hardwood will use up the battery pack energy faster than lighter working conditions. Do not recharge your battery pack below 0 o C and above 40 o C as this will affect performance.

MAINTENANCE

Remove the battery pack from the tool before carrying out any adjustment, servicing, or maintenance. Your tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user-serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not
damage your power tool.

For Battery tools
The ambient temperature range for the use and storage of tool and battery is 0°C-45°C.
The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is 0°C-40°C.
