the Adapter plug to a grounded, 120 V~, 60 Hz outlet.

charge. CAUTION! Recharging the Battery Pack for
more than 5 hours can damage the battery cells.

General Operating Instructions
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM
ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Always make sure the Trigger Switch of the Cordless
drill is in its “OFF” position, the Battery Pack is
disconnected from the Drill, and the Direction Switch
is centered in its mid-position (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 3/8” 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 specic drilling job.
2. To “lock” the trigger mechanism as a safety
measure, press down the Direction Switch
so that it is in the “center” position. This will
prevent the drill turning on accidentally.

the chuck with one hand, rotate the collar of
the Chuck counterclockwise, if needed, and
place the desired drill bit or screw driver bit
into the drill between the Chuck Jaws.

place, centered between the Chuck Jaws.
