Frequently Asked Questions - V-12/AWE JobSite

How do I change the drill bit on the V-12/AWE?

To change the bit, first ensure the drill is switched off and battery removed. Open the chuck by rotating the sleeve counterclockwise. Insert the bit, then tighten by rotating the sleeve clockwise. Make sure the bit is centered.

What type of battery does the V-12/AWE use?

The V-12/AWE uses a 12V lithium-ion battery. Only use JobSite-approved batteries and chargers to avoid damage.

How long does it take to fully charge the battery?

Charging time is typically 60-90 minutes for a fully depleted battery using the included charger. The charger LED indicates when charging is complete.

Can I use the V-12/AWE on masonry?

This drill is primarily designed for wood, metal, and plastic. For masonry, you need a hammer drill function. The V-12/AWE does not have a hammer mode; using masonry bits may cause damage.

How do I adjust the torque settings?

Rotate the torque adjustment collar located behind the chuck. Numbers 1-20 indicate increasing torque. Use lower settings for driving screws and higher for drilling. The drill icon indicates maximum torque for drilling.

How should I clean and maintain the drill?

Clean the drill with a dry cloth. Avoid water and solvents. Keep air vents free of dust. Periodically check chuck tightness and brush wear. Store in a dry place.

What is the warranty period for the V-12/AWE?

The V-12/AWE comes with a 2-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Normal wear and tear, or misuse, is not covered.

What should I do if the drill stops working?

First, check the battery charge. If the battery is charged, try a different battery. Inspect for jams: rotate the chuck manually to free it. If the problem persists, contact JobSite customer support.

Is the V-12/AWE compatible with other brand batteries?

No, only use JobSite 12V lithium-ion batteries. Using incompatible batteries may damage the tool and void the warranty.

How do I store the drill when not in use?

Remove the battery, clean the tool, and store in a cool, dry place away from moisture. If storing for months, charge battery to 50% and store separately.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

Consider the most convenient location to mount the V-12/AWE. Use the PVC junction box (supplied), mounted atop a PVC conduit through which the wires will run. Count the number of pairs of 4 ohm speakers and the number of pairs of 8 ohm speakers you are connecting. Count pairs of 6 ohm speakers as 4 ohm pairs. Determine the correct switch position from the impedance charts. See figures 2, 3 and 4.

Using Speaker Selectors with IM Muting Volume Controls

Although IM controls provide volume and on/off at the volume-control location, they do not give you central control of speakers playing throughout the house. Speaker-selection systems give you central control, but some speaker selectors have non-defeatable impedance-protection circuits. Combining IM controls with such a selector will reduce your maximum volume substantially. To solve this problem, specify a speaker selector with a defeatable protection circuit (JobSite models S-4 or S-6). Then keep the protection circuit off at all times.

Tools Required

1/8" Slotted screwdriver
1/4" Slotted screwdriver
No2 Phillips screwdriver
Wire stripper
Wire labels

INSTALLATION

1. Identify the Speaker wire and Amplifier wire. Label the wires for future reference.
2. Run the necessary wiring up through the conduit and the opening at the base of the enclosure.
3. Mount the entire enclosure atop the PVC conduit. Secure the enclosure with galvanized mounting screws.
4. Strip 1/4" of insulation from the end of each wire.

Tightly twist the end of each wire until no frayed ends remain.

1. Locate the snap and lock connectors and remove them if they are plugged in. See figure 5.

Figure 5

1. Use a small flathead screwdriver or your thumb to raise the locking tabs, exposing the holes on the connector.
2. Insert each wire into the appropriate hole and snap down the locking tabs.
3. Insert the smooth side of the connector plug into the smooth side of the V-12/AWE socket.
4. Install the V-12/AWE into the all-weather enclosure.
5. Set the Impedance Magnification Switch as determined by the impedance charts.
6. Set the switches, on all of the controls, to the same position (1x, 2x, 4x, or 8x).
7. Attach the cover plate.
   See installation diagram.

INSTALLATION DIAGRAM

OPERATION

1. Make sure the amplifier or receiver power is OFF and set the volume to minimum.
2. Set the volume on the volume control to maximum (fully clockwise).
3. If you are using a JobSite speaker-selection system, locate the on/off button that corresponds to the speaker pair you wish to play. Set it to the ON position. Make sure the defeatable protection circuit is not enabled. See Using Speaker Selectors with IM Volume Controls, on page 5.
4. Turn ON the amplifier or receiver and select a source, such as the Tuner or CD player.
5. Slowly turn up the amplifier or receiver volume and set it to a comfortable – not maximum – listening level. Don't overdrive or "clip" your amplifier. If the sound becomes muddy or distorted, you have

reached the limit of your amplifier's volume capability. Reduce the volume at once to avoid damaging your speakers.

1. Use the volume control to adjust the volume of the speakers to the desired listening level. If all the speaker pairs in your system are equipped with JobSite volume controls, you can set the amplifier or receiver volume at one position and use the JobSite controls exclusively.
2. To turn OFF the speakers, turn the knob on the volume control fully counter-clockwise, or press the ON/OFF button on your speaker selector.
