OpERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for driving in and
loosening screws as well as for drilling in
wood, metal and plastic.
BEFORE PUTTING INTO OPERATION
A) chARGING ThE BATTERy
The battery charger supplied is matched to
the Li-Ion battery installed in the machine.
Do not use another battery charger.
The Li-Ion battery is protected against deep
discharging. When the battery is empty,
the machine is switched off by means of a
protective circuit: The tool holder no longer
rotates.
In a warm environment or after heavy use,
the battery pack may become too hot to
permit charging. Allow time for the battery to
cool down before recharging.
When the battery pack is charged for the first
time and after prolonged storage, the battery
pack will accept a 100% charge after several
charge and discharge cycles.
B) TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERy
PAcK (See Fig. A)
Depress the battery pack release button to
release and slide the battery pack out from
your tool. After recharge, slide it back into
your tool. A simple push and slight pressure
will be sufficient.
OPERATION
1. ON / OFF SwITch (See Fig. B)
Depress the On/Off switch to start and
release it to stop your drill. The on/off switch
is fitted with a brake function which stops
your chuck immediately when you quickly
release the switch.
It is also a variable speed switch that delivers
higher speed and torque with increased
trigger pressure. Speed is controlled by the
amount of switch trigger depression.
wARNING: Do not operate for
long periods at low speed because
excess heat will be produced internally.

2. SwITch LOcK
The switch trigger can be locked in the OFF
position. This helps to reduce the possibility
of accidental starting when not in use. To
lock the switch trigger, place the rotation
control in the center position.
3. REVERSIBLE (See Fig. c1, c2)
For drilling and screw driving use forward
rotation marked "
left). Only use reverse rotation marked
" " (lever is moved to the right) to remove
screws or release a jammed drill bit.
wARNING: Never change the
direction of rotation when the
chuck is rotating, wait until it has
stopped!
4. TwO-SPEED GEAR cONTROL
(See Fig. D)
The drill has a two-speed gear control
designed for drilling or driving at LO (mark
is 1) or HI (mark is 2) speeds. A slide switch
is located on top of the drill to select either
LO or HI speed. When using the drill in the
LO speed range, the speed will decrease and
the drill will have greater power and torque.
When using the drill in the HI speed range,
the speed will increase and the drill will have
less power and torque.
Gear I
Low speed range: for screwdriving or
working with large drilling diameter
Gear II
High speed range: for working with small
drilling diameter
wARNING: To prevent gear
damage, always allow the chuck
to come to a complete stop before
changing the direction of rotation or
the two-speed gear control.
5. chUcK ADjUSTMENT (See Fig. E)
To open the chuck jaws rotate the front
section of the chuck. Insert the drill bit
between the chuck jaws and rotate the front
section in the opposite direction. Ensure the
drill bit is in the center of the chuck jaws.
Finally, firmly rotate the front chuck section
in the opposite directions. Your drill bit is
