DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS

• Safety instructions for all operations
  • Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
  • Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory or fasteners 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.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BATTERY PACK

• Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery pack.
• Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by conductive materials. 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.
• Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
• Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
• In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
• Keep battery pack clean and dry. g) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry cloth if they become dirty.
• Battery pack needs to be charged before use. Always refer to this instruction and use the correct charging procedure.
• Do not maintain battery pack on charge when not in use.

NOISE INFORMATION

VIBRATION INFORMATION

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

Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²
Impact drilling into concrete| Vibration emission value ah,ID= 9.18 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 depending 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 being 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 minimise 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 use across a number of days.

INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for impact drilling in brick, concrete and stone as well as for drilling in wood, metal, ceramic and plastic.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.

FUNCTION MODE SELECTION SCREWDRIVING, DRILLING, HAMMER DRILLING| See Fig. F1, F2, F3
TORQUE ADJUSTMENT| See Fig. G
Operating the on/off switch WARNING: Do not operate for long periods at low speed because excess heat will be produced internally.| See Fig. H

LED light indicator (See Fig. H)
Before operation, the LED light will be activated when the On/Off switch is slightly depressed, and will automatically turn off 20 seconds after the On/Off switch is released.

WARNING: To turn on the light, press the On/ Off switch and make sure the Forward/Reverse Rotation Control is on right/left position. The tool and battery are equipped with a protection system. When the LED Light is quickly flashing 60 seconds and turn off, the system will automatically cut off power to the tool to extend battery life. The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following conditions:

• Overloaded: The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current. In this situation, release the Trigger Switch on the tool and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the Trigger Switch again to restart.
• Overheated: Under the condition above, if the tool does not start, the Tool and Battery are overheated. In this situation, let the Tool and Battery cool before pulling the Trigger Switch again.
• Low battery voltage: The remaining Battery capacity is too low and the tool will not operate. In this situation, remove and recharge the Battery.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

1. WHY DOES THE DRILL NOT TURN ON WHEN YOU PRESS THE SWITCH?
   The Forward and Reverse Switch, which is on top of the trigger, is positioned in the lock function. Unlock the Forward and Reverse Switch putting it into the required rotation position. Push the trigger 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 Adjustment Ring, you can find the Torque Adjustment Ring between the Chuck and the drill body. Position 1 is the lowest torque (screw driving force) and position 20 is the highest torque (screw driving force). Position is for drill operation. Position is for hammer drill operation. Regulate the Torque Adjustment Ring to a higher position to reach the best result (See Fig. G).

3. I CAN NOT FIT THE BATTERY INTO THE BATTERY CHARGER. WHY?
   The battery can be inserted into the charger only in one direction. Turn the battery around until it can be inserted into the slot, the red LED Light should turn on when the battery is charging.

4. 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 charge and discharge operations by charging & working with your drill. Heavy working conditions such as large screws into hard wood will use up the Battery Pack energy faster than lighter working conditions. Do not re-charge your Battery Pack below 0oC and above 40oC as this will affect performance.

MAINTENANCE

Remove the Battery Pack from the tool before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance. Your power 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 tool and battery use and storage is 0oC~45oC.
The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is 0oC~40oC.
