Operating Instructions
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED
TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool speed can be
controlled from the minimum to the
maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure
you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure
to increase the speed and release pressure
to decrease speed. This accurate speed
control enables you to drill without center
punching. It also permits you to use as a
power screwdriver. Bits are available for
driving screws as well as running bolts and
nuts.
FORWARD/REVERSING LEVER &
TRIGGER LOCK
Your tool is equipped with a forward/
reversing lever and trigger lock located
above the trigger (Fig. 1). This lever was
designed for changing rotation of the chuck,
and for locking the trigger in an "OFF"
position to help prevent accidental starts and
accidental battery discharge. For forward
rotation, (with chuck pointed away from you)
move the lever to the far left. For reverse
rotation move the lever to the far right. To
activate trigger lock move lever to the center

BRAKE
When the trigger switch is released it
activates the brake to stop the chuck quickly.
This is especially useful in the repetitive
driving and removal of screws.

RELEASING AND INSERTING BATTERY PACK
Release battery pack from tool by pressing
on both sides of the battery release tabs and
pull downwards. Before inserting battery
pack, remove protective cap from battery
CHARGING BATTERY PACK (1 HOUR CHARGER)
Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet. Before inserting battery pack, remove
protective cap, then insert battery pack into
charger (Fig. 4).
The charger's green indicator will begin to
"BLINK". This indicates that the battery is
receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will
automatically stop when the battery pack is
fully charged.
When the indicator light stops "BLINKING"
(and becomes a steady green light) fast
charging is complete.
When you begin the charging process of the
battery pack, a steady green light could also
mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.

The purpose of the light is to indicate that the
battery pack is fast-charging. It does not
indicate the exact point of full charge. The
light will stop blinking in less time if the
battery pack was not
discharged.
When the battery pack is fully charged,
unplug the charger (unless you're charging
another battery pack) and slip the battery
pack back into the tool handle.
To prevent fire or injury when batteries are
