ASSEMBLY CONTENTS WARNING: If any part is broken or missing, DO NOT attach the battery pack or operate the tool until the broken or missing part is replaced. Failure to do so could result in possible serious injury. Cordless drill/driver, bit, belt clip, screw, side handle, and instruction manual. UNPACKING WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use with this tool.
OPERATION INSTALL THE BELT CLIP (FIG.2) STORE THE BIT (FIG.3) FIG. 3 FIG. 2 Bit Bit Holder Screw Belt Clip 1. Align the rib of the clip with the hole on the base of the drill/driver. 2. Insert the screw and tighten the screw securely with a screwdriver. The belt clip can be positioned on the left side of the tool. Your drill/driver is equipped with a bit holder on the heel of the tool. After using the bit, you can insert the bit into the bit holder for convenient storage.
OPERATION LED WORKLIGHT (FIG.5) 3. FIG. 5 The variable-speed trigger switch delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure. WARNING: Allow the motor to come to a complete stop before setting the drill/driver down. ELECTRIC BRAKE LED Worklight The LED worklight, located on the base of the drill/driver, will illuminate when the trigger switch is depressed before the drill/ driver is running.
OPERATION 2. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the left of the tool for forward rotation. 3. Setting the direction-of-rotation selector 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 right.
OPERATION KEYLESS CHUCK (FIG.9) FIG. 9 Unlock (Release) Keyless Chuck The torque clutch can be adjusted to any of 24 different settings (23 driving and 1 drilling). The higher the torque setting, the more force the drill/driver produces to turn an object in either low or high rotation speed. When using the drill/driver for different driving applications, increase or decrease the torque in order to help prevent damage to the screw heads, threads, workpiece, etc.
OPERATION IMPULSE MODE (FIG.12) INSTALL THE BIT (FIG.13) FIG. 12 FIG. 13 Keyless Chuck Unlock (Release) Bit Chuck Jaws 1. Impulse Impulse Lock Indicator Button (Tighten) Impulse mode creates a pulsating onoff-on motor power cycle, which leads to a short impulse of torque, together with low speed, that can be more effective than a pure rotational motion for certain applications.
OPERATION DRILLING IN WOOD WARNING: Make sure to insert the bit straight into the chuck jaws. Do not insert the bit into the chuck jaws at an angle and then tighten. This could cause the bit to be thrown from the drill/driver, resulting in possibly serious personal injury or damage to the chuck. 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. DRILLING 1.
OPERATION DRILLING IN CERAMIC TILES For maximum performance, use carbidetipped masonry bits (available separately) for ceramic tile drilling. It’s recommended to use the impulse mode to drill into the ceramic tiles. 1. Use just enough force on the drill to keep it from bouncing excessively. Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds, overheating and a lower drilling rate. 2.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM The drill/driver does not work. The bit cannot be installed. Motor is overheating Page 17 POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION The battery is depleted. Charge the battery. The chuck sleeve is not released. Release the chuck sleeve. The bit does not fit the sleeve. Use a suitable bit. The cooling vents may be obstructed. Clean and clear the vents.
