Forward/reverse switch
Note. You can only change
the direction of rotation of the
drill using the forward/reverse
switch when the trigger is NOT
depressed.
This switch (4) will allow you to
change the direction of the motor
while the trigger switch is not
depressed.
Drilling uses the forward mode.
The reverse mode is intended
for the removal of screws and
assisting to remove jammed
drill bits.
Drill Overload
This drill is fitted with an
overload protection. If the drill is excessively forced, or the
task being performed is too great for the drill, the drill will
automatically go into an overload mode. When the drill goes
into overload, the drill will automatically and suddenly STOP.
To reset the overload, simply release the trigger. When the
trigger is pressed again, the drill will restart. Resume work
after the overload has been reset, but reduce the load by
using a smaller drill bit or re-sharpen the existing drill bit and
reduce the amount of force placed on the drill.
CAUTION. Do not continue to overload the drill and
constantly reset the overload. Doing this will cause the
battery cells to over heat.
Temperature Cut Out
If the drill is constantly overloaded, or the drill is used
constantly at maximum rating in high ambient conditions,
the battery cells may over heat causing the battery pack
to shut down.
When this occurs you will need to immediately stop drilling
and allow the battery cells to reduce the temperature.
To reduce the temperature of the cells remove the battery
pack from the drill and place the battery pack in a free air
environment, out of direct sunlight or any other heat source.
DO NOT force cool the pack in any way. Do not place in
refrigerators or freezers.
When the battery pack has cooled down it can again
be used to operate the drill, as long as the load or the
conditions causing the original excessive temperature
has been corrected.
Low voltage cut out
The battery pack used on this tool is fitted with a low
voltage cut out feature within the circuitry.
The low voltage cut out feature operates when the voltage
drops below a pre set value. This feature automatically
stops the drill from operating (similar to that of the over
load condition). When this condition occurs you will need
to either insert another battery into the drill or recharge the
existing battery.
The low voltage cut out feature has been added to
maximise the tools life. When this occurs, recharge the
battery pack by following the battery charging section in
this manual.
Note: Attempting to restart the tool without either recharging
the battery or installing another battery (with charge) will
lead to drill restarting and then stopping again, after only a
few seconds of operation.
