Safety instructions 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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Additional safety instructions for drills • Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it 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 before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 104°F (40°C) such as alongside sheds or metal structures in the summer. • The charger is designed for use from a standard household electrical supply (230–240 volts). Do not attempt to connect the charger to a supply with a different supply. • If you wish to charge a second battery pack, unplug the charger from the mains supply and leave it for at least 15 minutes.

LED Work area light Drilling positions The drill has 3 LED lights (11) to illuminate the work area and improve vision when drilling in areas with insufficient light. To turn the LED lights on and off depress the LED light switch (13). This symbol indicates the DRILLING MODE. Used for all normal drilling (Wood, Aluminium, and Steel) in this mode the clutch is deactivated. This symbol indicates the HAMMER MODE. This mode will activate hammer action, whilst drilling.
Inserting and removing bits application and tighten the side handle clamp knob (6) to secure it in place. The drill is fitted with auto spindle lock which means if you try and rotate the chuck by hand the spindle of the drill will automatically lock. This means you only need to grasp the chuck and rotate the chuck housing to remove or fit accessories. This drill has a keyless chuck, hence a chuck key is not needed to secure a bit in the drill.
Drilling wood • For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for wood drilling. • Ensure that the mode selector is in normal drilling mode. • Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point. Increase the speed as the drill bites into the material. • When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind the work piece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on the back side of the hole. • Warning.
