BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
RYOBI 18 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with
features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize
battery life. Under some operating conditions, these
built-in features may cause the battery and the tool it is
powering to act differently from nickel-cadmium batteries.
During some applications, the battery electronics may
signal the battery to shut down, and cause the tool to stop
running. To reset the battery and tool, release the trigger
and resume normal operation.
NOTE: To prevent further shut down of the battery, avoid
forcing the tool.
If releasing the trigger does not reset the battery and tool,
the battery pack is depleted. If depleted, the battery pack
will begin charging when placed on the lithium-ion charger.
TO INSTALL BATTERY PACK
Lock the switch trigger by placing the rotation selector
in the center position.
Place the battery pack on the tool.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap into place and the battery pack is secured on the
tool before beginning operation.
WARNING
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you
are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or
when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious personal
injury.
TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK
Lock the switch trigger by placing the rotation selector
in the center position.
Depress the latches on the side of battery pack.
Remove the battery pack from the tool.
WARNING
Battery tools are always in operating condition.
Therefore, switch should always be locked when not in
use or when carrying at your side.
SWITCH TRIGGER
To turn the drill ON, depress the switch trigger.
To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger.
English
VARIABLE SPEED
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed
and torque with increased trigger pressure and lower
speed with decreased trigger pressure.
NOTE: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from
the switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a
normal part of the switch function.
ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
The bit rotation is reversible and is controlled by a selector
located above the switch trigger. With the drill held in
normal operating position, the rotation selector should
be positioned to the left of the switch trigger for forward
drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when the selector
is to the right of the switch trigger.
Setting the switch trigger in the OFF (center lock) position
helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not
in use.
To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to
come to a complete stop before changing the direction
of rotation.
To stop the drill, release the switch trigger and allow the
chuck to come to a complete stop.
NOTE: The drill will not run unless the rotation selector is
pushed fully to the left or right.
Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool
the drill by running it without a load and at full speed.
INTERNAL SPINDLE LOCK
The internal spindle lock allows the user single-handed
control of chuck adjustments and bit changes. Squeezing
the chuck body stops the chuck jaws from turning. For bit
changes and chuck adjustments, squeeze the chuck body
and turn.
KEYLESS CHUCK
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill
bits in the chuck jaws. The arrows on the chuck indicate
which direction to rotate the chuck body in order to LOCK
(tighten) or UNLOCK (release) the drill bit.
