WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,

read the instruction manual. General Power Tool Safety Warnings WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions Faure to folow the wamings and instructions may result in electric shock, fre and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. The term “power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordliess) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Guttered or dark areas invite accidents. b} Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b} Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your bodÿ is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d)_ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. €) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock 9 Woperating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

&) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. À moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions wil reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before tuning the power tool on. À wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. €) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. ” Dress properlÿ. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properlÿ used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool wil do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentaly. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less Ikely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. À charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create à risk of fre when used with another battery pack. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other

small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause bus or a fire. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. I liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

This is normal and does not indicate a problem Torque Adjustment Collar (fig. 1) Your tool has an adjustable torque screwdriver mechanism for driving and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes and in some models, a hammer mechanism for driling into masonry. Circling

ENGLISH the collar (c) are numbers, a drill bit symbol, and in some models, a hammer symbol. These numbers are used to set the clutch to deliver a torque range. The higher the number on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the fastener which can be driven, To select any of the numbers, rotate until the desired number aligns with the arrow. Dual Range Gearing (fig. 1) The dual range feature of your driver/cril allows you to shift gears for greater versatiity. To select the low speed, high torque setting, turn the tool off and permit to stop. Slide the gear selector (d) forward (towards the chuck) as shown in Figure 1 To select the high speed, low torque setting, turn the tool off and permit to stop. Side the gear selector back (away from chucly. NOTE: Do not change gears when the tool is running. If you are having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual range gear selector is either completely pushed fonward or completely pushed back. Worklight (fig. 1) There is a worklight (e) located just above the trigger switch (a). The worklight will be activated when the trigger switch is squeezed. NOTE: The workight is for lighting the immediate work surface and is not intended to be used as a flashight Keyless Single Sleeve Chuck (fig. 1) Your too features a keyless chuck (9 with one rotating sleeve for one-handed operation of the chuck. To insert a dril bit or other accessony, follow these steps.

1. Lock the trigger in the OFF position as:

previously described Grasp the black sieeve of the chuck with one hand and use the other hand to secure the tool Rotate the sleeve counterclockwise far enough to accept the desired accessory. Insert the accessory about 19 mm into the chuck and tighten securely by rotating the chuck sleeve clockwise with one hand while holding the tool with the other. Your tool is equipped with an automatic spindle lock mechanism, This allows you to open and close the chuck with one hand To release the accessony, repeat step 2 above.

WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten

dr bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and tuming the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may resuit. AWays lock off trigger switch when changing accessories. Be sure to tighten chuck with one hand on the chuck sleeve and one hand holding the tool for maximum tightness. Drill Operation (fig. 4)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, tum tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/instaling attachments or accessories.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

personal injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or clamped fiemly. l diling thin material, use à wood “back-up” block to prevent damage to the material . Use sharp dr bits on. For WOOD, use the low speed setting and twist dril bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. For METAL, use the low speed setting and steel twist dr bits or hole saws. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc, use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion driling. Use low speed for bits greater than 10 mm. . AWays apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep dr biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit. . Hold tool fimiy with both hands to control the twisting action of the dr. I model is not equipped with side handle, grip dril with one hand on the handle and one hand on the battery pack. CAUTION: Dril may stal if overioaded causing a sudden twist. Always expect the stal. Grip the dl frmiy to control the twisting action and avoid injury. . IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because itis being overloaded or impropery used. RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove dril bit from work, and determine cause of staling. DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START À STALLED DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.

To minimize staling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on dril and ease the bit through the last fractional part of the hole. Keep the motor running when puling the bit back out of a driled hole. This wil help prevent jamming With variable speed dll there is no need to center punch the point to be driled. Use a slow speed to start the hole and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the hole is deep enough to dr without the bit skipping out. Hammerdrill Operation (fig. 5)

4. Turn the colar (c) to the hammerdrill symbol.

2. Select the high speed setting by sliding the

selector back (away from the chuck). IMPORTANT: Use carbide-tipped or masonry bits only. Drill with just enough force on the hammer to keep it from bouncing excessively or ‘rising” off the bit, Too much force will cause slower drling speeds, overheating and lower driling rate. Dril straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit when dilling as this wil. cause clogging of the bit futes and a slower driling speed. When dling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with tool sti running to help clear debris from the hole. NOTE: À smooth, even flow of dust from the hole indicates proper drling rate. Screwdriver Operation (fig. 6) Select the desired speed/torque range using the dual range gear selector to match the speed and torque of the planned operation. Turn the torque adjustment collar to the desired position. Lower numbers indicate lower torque settings: higher numbers indicate higher torque settings. Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck as you would any drl bit. Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas to determine the proper position of the dlutch collar. Always start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece or fastener.
