OPERATION
OPERATIONAL STEPS-DRILLING
When drilling metal, it is recommended to use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from over-
heating.
1) Make sure the drill bit is firmly locked in the keyless chuck and set the direction of rotation
using the forward/reverse switch.
2) Set the torque setting ring to the highest setting.
3) Secure workpiece in vise or other type of support. Hold the drill firmly with both hands, place
the point of the drill bit at the point to be drilled and depress trigger to start the drilling
operation. Always use the higher speed setting for drilling small holes, use the lower speed
setting for drilling larger holes.
4) Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough pressure to keep the drill bit cutting.
Do not force the drill bit or apply sideways pressure.
OPERATIONAL STEPS-DRIVING SCREWS
1) Make sure to use the correct screwdriver bit that correctly fits the screw being driven.
2) Fasten screwdriver bit into the chuck, making sure the flat of the bit are gripped by the chuck
jaws.
3) Set the torque setting ring to the appropriate setting as described in the adjustable torque
setting section.
DRILLING WOOD OR PLASTIC
If backup material is not used, ease up on the pressure just before the bit breaks through the
wood to avoid splintering. Finish the hole from the opposite side after the point breaks through.
If it binds, reverse the drilling operation to help remove the bit from the work.
DRILLING METAL
Make a center punch in the metal to be drilled for easier starting. Use just enough pressure to
have keep the bit cutting. Do not apply great pressure on this tool when drilling metals. When
drilling large holes, it is faster and easier on your power pack to first make a smaller hole and to
then enlarge it to the size desired. Lubricate the tip of the bit occasionally with light oil for easier
metal drilling. If it binds, reverse the drilling operation to help remove the bit from the work. It is
not recommended to drill holes larger than 3/8" diameter through soft steel thicker than 1/8".
Drilling through metal rapidly drains energy from your battery.
DRILLING MASONRY
Use carbide-tipped masonry bits for cider blocks, mortar, common brick, soft stone and other
materials. The amount of pressure to be used is dependent upon the type of material being
drilled. Less pressure is needed for soft materials and more pressure for harder materials.
FASTENING WITH SCREWS
The illustration on the next page illustrates how to fasten materials together with your cordless
drill without stripping, splitting or separating the material being drilled.
1) Clamp the pieces together and drill a hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw to be used. If the
material is soft, drill up to 2/3 of the length of the screw to be used and for hard material drill
the entire length of the screw.
2) Unclamp the pieces and drill the second hole the same diameter as the screw shank in the
first or top piece of wood.
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
3) If a flat head screw is used, coutersink the hole to make the head of the screw flush with the
surface of the piece of wood. Then, apply even pressure when driving the screw. The screw
shank clearance hole in the first or top piece allows the screw head to pull the two pieces
together.

WARNING: THERE ARE NO USER SERVICE-ABLE PARTS INSIDE
Preventative maintance performed by an unauthorized personnel may result in the misplacement
of internal wires and componenets which could cause serious hazards. We recommend that all
servicing be performed by a qualified KING CANADA service center technician.
BATTERIES
Pay attention to the battery power levels as the battery nears its end of life. If you notice a
decrease in battery performance or a significant difference in running power between charges,
then it is time to replace the battery. Failure to do so may damage the charger and cause
improper operation.
LONG TERM BATTERY STORAGE SHOULD BE IN THE DISCHARGE STATE. Batteries last
longer and recharge better when they are stored discharged. Fully recharge the battery before
using after prolonged storage.
TOOL LUBRICATION
This cordless drill has been properly lubricated and will never require additionnal lubrication.
CLEANING
To avoid accidents, always remove the battery from the cordless drill before cleaning. The tool is
most effectively cleaned with the use of an air compressor. Always wear safety glasses when
using an air compressor. Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of
foreign objects. Do not insert pointed objects through these openings in the attempt to clean them.
CAUTION: Some cleaning products and solvents can damage the plastic parts of your cordless
drill such as gasoline, chlorinated cleaning agents, ammonia and household detergents that
contain ammonia.
