Tool Set Up

Installing Drill Bits and
Setting Torque
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM
ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Release the Trigger, remove the Battery and center
the Direction Switch (which locks the Trigger)
prior to making any adjustments to the tool.
• Do not install the Battery Pack until
AFTER you complete the following
steps to set up the Drill for use.
• Refer to page 6 for the location of the parts
of the Drill for the following steps.
1. The Drill is designed to accept up to 1/2 IN.
standard drill bits. Do not use larger drill bits in
this Drill as damage to the gears and/or motor
may result. Always use a drill bit that is designed
for the specific drilling job. Keep other drill bits
tucked in the Drill Driver's Bit Groove during use.
2. To "lock" the trigger mechanism as a safety
measure, slide the Direction Switch so that
it is in the "center" position. This will prevent
the drill from turning on accidentally.
3. While holding the ring behind the collar of the
chuck with one hand, rotate the collar of the
Chuck (2) counterclockwise, if needed, and
place the desired drill bit or screw driver bit
into the drill between the Chuck Jaws.
4. Hand tighten the Chuck until the bit is held securely
in place, centered between the Chuck Jaws.
5. Slide the Speed Selector (16) at the top of the Drill
Driver forward and back to adjust from the lower speed
(0-400 RPM) to the higher speed (0-1200 RPM).
6. Set the desired torque setting by rotating the
Torque Setting Ring (4) to the desired setting.
7. Use the torque setting (marked by
the drill icon) for drilling.
Page 8 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
a. The numbered torque settings from 1 to 23
are for driving screws, bolts and nuts.
• It is recommended that a very low torque
setting be used when first driving small screws
into soft materials. Then adjust the setting as
the proper force required is determined.
• The torque setting required depends on the item
being driven. In the case of screws, consider
the size, length, and type of material.
• If a pilot hole has been drilled into the material,
a lower torque setting will be required.
b. In addition to single or double-ended screwdriver
bits, adapters with hexagonal shafts with
matching socket heads can also be used.
• Fix the torque setting low enough
to allow a safety margin.
Charging Area Set Up
1. Use on dry, flat, fireproof surface only. The
Charger gets hot during use. The Charger's
heat can build up to unsafe levels and create
a fire hazard if it does not receive adequate
ventilation, due to an electrical fault, or if it is used in a
hot environment. Do not place the Charger on a
flammable surface.
2. Do not obstruct any vents on the Charger.
3. Especially avoid placing the Charger on carpets
and rugs; they are not only flammable, but
they also obstruct vents under the Charger.
4. Place the Charger on a stable, solid, nonflammable
surface (such as a stable metal workbench
or concrete floor) at least 1 foot away from all
flammable objects, such as drapes or walls.
5. Charging room temperature: 50° - 104° F.
6. Keep a fire extinguisher and a smoke
detector in the charging area.
Battery Pack Set Up
1. Allow the battery pack to cool
completely before charging.
2. Inspect the battery pack before charging; do not
charge a cracked or leaking battery pack.
