Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-

tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-

Reversing switch action (Fig. 4)

This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of

rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A

side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counter-

When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position,

the switch trigger cannot be pulled.

• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.

• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a

complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation

before the tool stops may damage the tool.

• When not operating the tool, always set the reversing

switch lever to the neutral position.

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-

tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work

Installing or removing drill bit (Fig. 6)

To install the bit, place it in the chuck as far as it will go.

Tighten the chuck by hand. Place the chuck key in each

of the three holes and tighten clockwise. Be sure to

tighten all three chuck holes evenly.

To remove the bit, turn the chuck key counterclockwise in

just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.

After use, return the chuck key to the storage cavity on

Chuck key holder (Fig. 7)

To install the chuck key holder, fix it to the convex portion

of the tool housing on either side and then secure it with

a screw. To remove, loosen the screw and then take it

The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.

This can be installed on either side of the tool.

To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool hous-

ing on either side and then secure it with a screw.

To remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.

• Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the gripping part

of the tool and the other hand on the side grip when

performing the tool. (Fig. 9)

To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole,

make an indentation with a center-punch and hammer at

the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the

indentation and start drilling.

Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The excep-

tions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.

• Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the

drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve

to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool perfor-

mance and shorten the service life of the tool.

• There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit at

the time of hole break through. Hold the tool firmly and

exert care when the bit begins to break through the
