5 GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

• Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of it.

5.2 Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of a lethal electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of a lethal electric shock if your body is earthed.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.

• Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.

• Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.

• Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.POWX00435 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 5 www.varo.com

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts.

• If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

• Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintenance. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

• Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

• Never attempt to open for any reason.

• Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.

• Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.

• Charge only using the charger provided with the tool.

• When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the environment”.

• Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-) terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture or fire.

• Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.

• Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the battery, proceed as follows:

• Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.

• In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:POWX00435 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 6 www.varo.com o Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. o In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10 minutes. Consult a physician. Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached battery. Do not incinerate the battery.

• Use the charger provided with the tool only to charge the battery

• Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.

• Have defective cords replaced immediately.

• Do not expose to water.

• Do not open the charger.

• Do not probe the charger.

• The charger is intended for indoor use only. 7 FEATURES

• Li-ion batteries have a higher capacity/weight ratio (more power for less heavy, more compact, battery)

• No memory effect (capacity loss after several charge/discharge cycles) like other type batteries. (Ni-Cd, Ni-MeH ..).

• Limited self discharge. (also see chapter : Storage)

7.2 Keyless chuck (1)

A keyless chuck is included on your drill to allow for easy installation and removal of bits/accessories. The chuck is divided into two parts. The rear is called the collar and the front is called the body. To open and close the keyless chuck, grasp and hold the collar of the chuck with one hand and rotate the chuck body with your other hand. The arrows on the chuck indicate in which direction to rotate the chuck body in order to GRIP (tighten) or release (unlock) the drill bit.

WARNING: Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use power of the

drill to tighten or loosen the juck jaws. The chuck body could slip and your hand could come in contact with a rotating accessory. This could cause an accident resulting in personal injury.

7.3 Torque adjustment ring (2)

The drill has a torque adjustment ring. It allows you to select the desired torque depending on the task you have to perform (drill / screw different types of screws into different materials). The proper setting depends on the type of material and the size of screw you are using. TO ADJUST TORQUE: Identify the 18+1 torque indicator settings located on the front of the drill. Rotate adjusting ring (2) to the desired setting. The lower the number, the lower the torque setting. The higher the number, the higher the torque setting.

7.4 On/off switch (5)

To turn your drill ON, press the switch trigger. To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger. The switch trigger can be locked in the OFF position. This feature helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not in use.POWX00435 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 7 www.varo.com

7.5 Forward/reverse selector (right/left rotation selector) (4)

The drill has a forward/reverse selector located above the switch trigger.

• F(Forward) (Forward): Press selector on right side of machine (to the left side): drill turns right (forward, fasten screws)

• R(Reverse) (Reverse): Press selector on left side of machine (to the right side): drill turns left (reverse/ loosen screws) CAUTION: To prevent damage to the gearbox, always allow the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation or selecting another speed (HI-LO). To stop, release the trigger switch.

7.6 Speed selector (3)

Your cordless drill has a two-speed gear, designed for drilling or driving at LO or HI speed. A slide switch is located on top of your drill to select either LO (1) or HI (2) speed. The low speed (LO) is used, in combination with the torque setting, for screwing screws in or out and for drilling with a larger diameter. The high speed (HI) is used only for drilling (never for screwing, as this may lead to damage of the tool).

7.7 LED worklight (6)

Your cordless drill is equipped with an LED light at the front (above the ON/OFF switch) above the battery pack. The white LED light will light when you operate the machine, providing the work area to be lighted.

• Your cordless drill is equipped with TPR soft grip and protective parts. TPR (Thermoplastic rubber) is elastic, chock absorbing and environmental friendly (recyclable). 8 (PRE)OPERATION

8.1 Battery charging

Use only the battery charger supplied with your tool. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lithium ion battery of your power tool. Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the battery charger before using your power tool for the first time. The lithium ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery.

• Connect the plug of the charger to the loading socket (10) of the battery set.

Those 3 LED might show the status of the capacity level of the battery: 3 LED’s are litt: Battery fully charged 2 LED’s are litt: Battery 60% charged 1 LED is litt: Battery almost dischargedPOWX00435 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 8 www.varo.com

Press both the battery release buttons and gently pull the battery out of the drill.

8.3.2 To install the battery

Hold the drill upright in one hand and the battery in your other hand. While pressing with two fingers on the battery release buttons, insert the battery until it clicks into place. Do not use excessive force when inserting the battery. If the battery does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly. It is also possible that there could be damage to the battery, battery terminals or the drill.

8.4 Installing/removing bits and drills

8.4.1 Installing bits/drills

Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in centre position. Open or close chuck jaws to a point where the opening is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use. Also, raise the front of the drill slightly to keep the bit from falling out of the chuck jaws. Insert drill bit straight into chuck the full length of the jaws as shown in. Tighten the chuck jaws on the drill bit.

WARNING: Make sure to insert drill bit straight into chuck jaws.

Do not insert drill bit into chuck jaws at an angle, this could cause drill bit to be thrown from drill resulting in possible serious personal injury or damage to the chuck.

8.4.2 Removing bits/drills

Lock the switch trigger by placing rotation selector in centre position. Loosen the chuck jaws from the drill bit. Note: Rotate chuck body in the direction of the arrow marked. Release to loosen chuck jaws. Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws. Remove the drill bit from the chuck jaws.

8.5 General hints for drilling

Always make sure that the torque adjustment ring is set to “drill” position.

8.5.1 Drilling in all materials

Always use sharp drill bits. Mark the place where you would like the hole to be drilled. Commence with a slow speed to start the hole. Reduce your pressure on the drill when the drill bit is about to break through the material.

8.5.2 Metal drilling

Support thin material with a piece of scrap wood. Use a center punch to mark the position of the hole. If drilling a large hole, use a small size drill bit first to establish a pilot hole then use the required large size drill bit. Use only HSS (High Speed Steel) drill bits or those recommended for metal use. When drilling into iron or steel, use no lubricant but withdraw the drill regularly to assist cooling.POWX00435 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 9 www.varo.com

Mark the place where you want to drill with a punch or a nail. To avoid splintering on breakthrough, either clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back of your work piece or continue the hole from the back of the wood when the drill bit first breaks through. 9 MAINTENANCE
