FEATURES KNOW YOUR DRILL MAG TRAY™ See Figure 1. The safe use of this product requires an understanding of the information on the tool and in this operator’s manual as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety rules. The Mag Tray™ conveniently stores screws or other small parts. BIT STORAGE TORQUE ADJUSTMENT RING DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR Your drill has a 24-position clutch.
OPERATION NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they are charged. Allow several cycles (operation followed by recharging) for them to become fully charged. WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury. CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK If battery pack is within normal temperature range, the red LED on charger will come on.
OPERATION CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK When using the tool continuously, the batteries in the battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge. When the battery pack becomes discharged and is hot, this will cause the green LED to come on instead of the red LED. After 30 minutes, reinsert the battery pack in the charger.
OPERATION DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR (FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK) WARNING: Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore, switch should always be locked when not in use or carrying at your side. REVERSE SWITCH TRIGGER See Figure 5. To turn the drill ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger. VARIABLE SPEED The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed and torque with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure.
OPERATION TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN (HIGH-LOW) See Figure 7. The drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling or driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide switch is located on top of the drill to select either LO (1) or HI (2) speed. When using drill in the LO (1) speed range, speed will decrease and unit will have more power and torque. When using drill in the HI (2) speed range, speed will increase and unit will have less power and torque.
OPERATION REMOVING BITS See Figure 9. Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in the center position. Rotate the chuck sleeve clockwise to open the chuck jaws. NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the arrow marked UNLOCK to loosen the chuck jaws. Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws. Remove the drill bit. INSTALLING/REMOVING THE MAGNETIC BIT HOLDER See Figure 11.
OPERATION QUICK MODE SELECTOR SELECTING DRIVE OR DRILL SETTING See Figure 12. The Quick Mode Selector allows you to quickly switch from drill mode to drive mode. In general, drill mode should be used for drilling and other heavy duty applications. Drive mode should be used for driving screws. DRIVE MODE See Figure 13. Using the chart below, select the option that best matches the type of bit, fastener, and material you will be using. 1. CHOOSE YOUR APPLICATION 2.
OPERATION TORQUE ADJUSTMENT See Figure 14. When using the drill for various driving applications, it becomes necessary to increase or decrease the torque in order to help prevent the possibility of damaging screw heads, threads, workpiece, etc. In general, torque intensity should correspond to the screw diameter. If the torque is too high or the screws too small, the screws may be damaged or broken. The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment ring.
OPERATION DRILLING See Figure 17. Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct setting (forward or reverse).� Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.� Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled.� Depress the switch trigger to start the drill. Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting.
MAINTENANCE GENERAL MAINTENANCE WARNING: Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. WARNING: WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc.
MAINTENANCE CHUCK REMOVAL See Figures 18 - 20. The chuck may be removed and replaced by a new one. MALLET Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in center position. CHUCK JAWS Insert a 5/16 in. or larger hex key into the chuck of the drill and tighten the chuck jaws securely. Tap the hex key sharply with a mallet in a clockwise direction. This will loosen the screw in the chuck for easy removal. Open the chuck jaws and remove the hex key.
