INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Charging The Battery
THE BATTERY(IES) MAY NOT BE FULLY CHARGED FROM THE
FACTORY. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY PRIOR TO FIRST
USE.
The Drills covered by this manual use the same battery and battery charger.
Your Drill comes complete with a rechargeable battery which we recommend
that you fully charge before the first use.
Drill must be charged for 8 hours prior to first use. After initial charge, allow
approximately 3 to 8 hours to recharge your battery.
The battery should be recharged when the drill does not operate up to its
normal performance level. Do not continue to operate the drill in this depleted
capacity. Recharge the battery immediately.
To increase the life of your battery, do not leave the battery charging for more
than 8 hours. While this is not a safety concern, overcharging may reduce the
life of the battery.
Overtime, if drill is not used, the battery will lose capacity. For maximum
performance, recharge the battery after prolonged storage or non-use periods.
NOTE: Before inserting or removing the battery from the charging base, always
ensure that the base is not plugged into a 120V power source.
1. To begin charging, remove the battery pack from the tool by pressing on the
battery release buttons on either side of the battery pack and pulling down.
2. Plug the battery pack into the battery charger making sure the positive (+) and
negative (-) poles of the battery match the positive (+) and negative (-) poles
of the battery charger.
NOTE: The battery will only fit into the battery charger and the tool one way.
3. Plug one end of the 120 Volt AC Adaptor into the battery charger and the
other end into any standard 120 Volt wall outlet. The RED LED indicator on the
battery charger will illuminate to indicate that the battery is charging.
4. Full charging will take between 3 to 8 hours.
NOTE: While the battery is placed in the charger, the RED LED indicator light
will remain on. If charging more than one battery, wait at least 15 minutes
between each charge. Use only the battery charger that is supplied with this
tool. Using another charger may cause damage to the battery.
WARNING: Never charge a battery pack again immediately after it has been
fully charged. This can give rise to the battery pack being overcharged and a
reduced battery life. DO NOT leave the battery pack in the charger for more than
8 hours.
Using The Drill
CAUTION: Always make sure that the tool is switched
OFF and the battery pack is removed from the drill
before changing any bits.
Loosen the keyless chuck by holding the ring and
turning the sleeve counter clockwise. Select the drill
bit or screwdriver you want to use and place it in
the keyless chuck. Twist the sleeve of the keyless
chuck clockwise to tighten it, making sure the drill bit
remains in the center of the keyless chuck’s teeth.
Twist the 24 setting torque control ring to the desired
setting. Lower settings are better for light work such
as driving screws into soft materials. Higher settings are
recommended for drilling into harder surfaces.
When properly adjusted, the clutch will slip at its present
torque setting to prevent driving the screw too deep or
to prevent damage to the tool.
To operate the drill in forward setting, simply keep the
Forward/Lock/Reverse switch flat against the
side of the drill as shown. To change to reverse
setting, move the Forward/Lock/Reverse switch
until it is flat against the opposite side of the
drill. Keeping the Forward/Lock/Reverse switch
in the center position locks the drill and prevents
unintentional use. It is recommended that the
Drill is in the locked position when it is not in use
or is being stored.
CAUTION: Always check the direction of the rotation before using the drill.
The speed of the drill is increased by the amount of pressure you place on the
ON/OFF trigger switch. The less pressure you put on the trigger switch, the
slower the drill will go.
