service life. If correct use, safety and maintenance procedures are observed this
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
machine will last for many years.
KOBE POWER TOOLS have been specifically designed to help you work SAFELY and EFFICIENTLY.
Your care and good judgement are the best protection against injury, but always ensure that the
appropriate safety equipment is worn. All possible hazards cannot be covered here, but the most important
ones have been highlighted.
l Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
l Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
l Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
l Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.
l A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the
specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery.
l Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create
a risk of fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
l Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
l Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
l Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
l Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
l Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
l Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
l Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work
by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
l Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it is designed.
l Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
l Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
l Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
l Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

AIR TOOLS
General Drilling:
Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. For METAL,
use high-speed steel twist drill bits, or hole saws. Be sure that the material to be drilled is anchored or clamped
firmly. If drilling thin material, use a "back-up" block to limit damage to the material. Always apply pressure in a
straight line with the bit. Always use enough pressure to keep the drill biting, but do not push too hard or you
could stall the motor or break the bit.
Hold the tool firmly to control the twisting of the drill.
IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded - RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove the drill
from the workpiece, and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT
TO START A STALLED DRILL - THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last
fractional part of the hole.
Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming.
With variable speed drills there is no need to center punch the point to be drilled. Use a slow speed to start the
hole until it is deep enough to drill without the bit skipping out, then use a higher speed to complete the drilling.
Drilling holes in Wood and Plastic: Use the same twist drills used for drilling metal. These bits may overheat
unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. For large hole, use low speed wood bits. Work that is
likely to splinter should be backed up with a block of wood.
Drilling into Metals: Use a cutting lubricant when drilling into metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass,
which should be drilled dry. The cutting lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil or lard oil; bacon
grease can also serve the same purpose.
OPERATION AS A SCREWDRIVER
With the tool stopped, rotate mode selection collar to the screw symbol then set the torque adjustment collar (see
Fig. 2A) to torque range number. Select the desired speed range using the two speed gear selector on the top of
tool to match the speed to the planned operation. Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck, the same
as you would any drill bit. It is advisable to perform a few practice runs in scrap materials to determine the best

POWER TOOLS
Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before performing any cleaning of the charger.
With the motor running, blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with dry air at least once a week. Wear safety glasses
when performing this. Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Although these
parts are highly are solvent resistant, NEVER use solvent.
CHARGER CLEANING
Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush.
DO NOT use water or any cleaning solutions.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (including brush
inspection and replacement) should be performed by qualified service engineers, always using identical replacement parts.
