Forward/reverse switch
Note. You can only change the direction of rotation of the drill using the forward/reverse switch when the
trigger is NOT depressed.
This switch will allow you to change the direction of the motor while the trigger switch is not depressed.
Drilling uses the forward mode.
The reverse mode is intended for the removal of screws and assisting to remove jammed drill bits.
Drill Overload
This drill is fitted with an overload protection. If the drill is excessively forced, or the task being performed is too
great for the drill, the drill will automatically go into an overload mode. When the drill goes into overload, the
drill will automatically and suddenly STOP.
To reset the overload, simply release the trigger. When the trigger is pressed again, the drill will restart. Resume
work after the overload has been reset, but reduce the load by using a smaller drill bit or re-sharpen the
existing drill bit and reduce the amount of force placed on the drill.
CAUTION. Do not continue to overload the drill and constantly reset the overload. Doing this will cause the
battery cells to over heat.
Temperature Cut Out
If the drill is constantly overloaded, or the drill is used constantly at maximum rating in high ambient conditions,
the battery cells may over heat causing the battery pack to shut down.
When this occurs you will need to immediately stop drilling and allow the battery cells to reduce the
temperature.
To reduce the temperature of the cells remove the battery pack from the drill and place the battery pack in a
free air environment, out of direct sunlight or any other heat source.
DO NOT force cool the pack in any way. Do not place in refrigerators or freezers.
When the battery pack has cooled down it can again be used to operate the drill, as long as the load or the
conditions causing the original excessive temperature has been corrected.
Low voltage cut out
The battery pack used on this tool is fitted with a low voltage cut out feature within the circuitry.
The low voltage cut out feature operates when the voltage drops below a pre set value. This feature
automatically stops the drill from operating (similar to that of the over load condition). When this condition
occurs you will need to either insert another battery into the drill or recharge the existing battery.
The low voltage cut out feature has been added to maximise the tools life. When this occurs, recharge the
battery pack by following the battery charging section in this manual.
Note: Attempting to restart the tool without either recharging the battery or installing another battery (with
charge) will lead to drill restarting and then stopping again, after only a few seconds of operation.
Adjustable torque
These drills are equipped with 24 torque settings plus one drill setting which are controlled by the torque collar
(8). All of the torque settings are clearly identified on the torque collar.
To adjust the torque setting you rotate the torque collar. Rotate the torque collar clockwise to increase the
torque setting and rotate it anti-clockwise to decrease the torque setting.
Controlling the torque allows for better control when using the drill on specific tasks and prevents over-
fastening and over-tightening.
For drilling, always use the use the Drill position by aligning the Drill symbol with the triangular indicator on the
front face of the drill near the torque collar.
For setting the torque position, select a low setting on the torque collar and align the selected symbol with the
triangular indicator on the top of the drill. Increase gradually to set the correct torque. It is better to use a scrap
piece of material if possible to set the torque.
