SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GENRAL SAFETY RULES WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. WORK AREA SAFETY 1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. 2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE 1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. 2. 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. 3.
7. For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more that 41 °F (5 °C) but less that 104 ° F (40 °C). Do not store outside or in vehicles. SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury. 1.
13. Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in use. This will reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the charger if metal items should fall into the opening. It will also help prevent damage to the charger during a power surge. 14. Risk of electric shock. Do not touch the uninsulated portion of output connector or uninsulated battery terminal. 15. Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool.
ADJUSTABLE TORQUE The drill has a 17+1position clutch. TWO-SPEED GEAR BOX The two-speed gear box is designed for drilling or driving at LOW or HIGH speeds. A slide switch is located on top of your drill for selecting the appropriate speed. VARIABLE SPEED The variable-speed trigger switch delivers higher speed with increased pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure. KEYLESS CHUCK The keyless chuck allows you to hand-tighten or release the drill bit in the chuck jaws.
The battery has an internal thermister cut off censor which will cease the charging cycle if the battery becomes hot during the charging process. This thermister censor will also stop the battery from operating should the battery become too hot during the operation of the tool. This can happen when the tool is overloaded or being used for extended periods of time. Up to 30 minutes in cooling time may be required depending on ambient temperature and operation being performed.
When using drill in the LOW speed range, the speed will decrease and the drill will have more power and torque. When using drill in the HIGH speed range, the speed will increase and the drill will have less power and torque. Use LOW speed for high power and torque applications and HIGH speed for fast drilling or driving applications. Use LOW speed for starting holes without a center punch, drilling metals or plastic, drilling ceramics, or in applications requiring a higher torque.
DRILLING IN WOOD For maximum performance, use high speed steel or brad point bits for wood drilling. 1. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point. 2. Increase speed as the drill bit bites into the material. 3. When drilling “through” holes, place a block of wood behind the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on the back side of the hole. DRILLING IN METAL For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for metal or steel drilling. 1.
