Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means attention!!! Your safety is involved. WEAR YOUR

WARNING: The Operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects

being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend a wide vision safety mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields. Always wear eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

WARNING: Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

• 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.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs in any earthed (grounded) power tools. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• 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 body is grounded.

• 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 cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outside, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

• Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work. The electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator. PERSONAL SAFETY

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

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non- skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided.

WARNING: Read and understand all warnings, cautions and operating instructions

before using this equipment. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.3 ENGLISH

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the Off position before plugging in. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch or plugging in a power tool that has the switch on invites accidents.

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

• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance can cause an injury in an unexpected situation.

• If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

• Do not use a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles cannot safely control the tool.

• Secure the workpiece. Use clamp or other practical way to hold the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Do not force the power tool. The tool will perform the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it is designed. Forcing the tool could possibly damage the tool and may result in personal injury.

• Use the correct power tool for the job. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it is not designed.

• Do not use a tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service center.

• Turn the power tool off, and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing the accessories, or storing the tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of an accidental start up which may cause personal injury.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other inexperienced persons. It is dangerous in the hand of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools with care. Check for proper alignment and binding of moving parts, component breaks, and any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. A guard or any other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.

• Only use recommended accessories. Using accessories and attachments not recommended by the manufacturer or intended for use on this type tool may cause damage to the tool or result in personal injury to the user. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories.

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

• Feed the workpiece in the correct direction and speed. Feed the workpiece into a blade, cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the workpiece in the same direction may cause the workpiece to be thrown out at high speed.

• Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

• Ensure the switch trigger is in the off position before inserting the battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into a power tool that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

• Use battery tools only with specified battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• Avoid storing the battery pack in a container with other metal objects such as nails, coins, clips, keys, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Always protect the battery terminals when battery pack is not being used. Connecting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact. If contact does occur accidently, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek immediate medical assistance. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

• Battery tools do not need to be plugged into an electrical outlet, therefore, they are always in operation condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or personal injury. SERVICE

• 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.

• Service your power tool periodically. When cleaning a tool, be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched.

• Plug the charger (12) into a 120 Volt AC power source. The green indicator light on the charger will illuminate, confirming it is powered.

• Connect the charger to the battery (11) as shown in FIG 3. The red light on the charger will illuminate, indicating that the battery is charging. Meanwhile, the power indicator lights (9) on the battery pack will flash, indicating the charging status.

• All three indicator lights will turn solid green once charging is complete.

• It is normal for the battery pack to become warm while charging.

• If the battery pack is hot after continuous use in the tool, allow it to cool down to room temperature before charging. This will extend the life of your batteries. NOTE: It takes approximately 80 minutes to charge up a completely discharged 2.0Ah battery pack. BATTERY POWER INDICATOR (FIG 3) There is a battery power indicator on the battery pack. It has three green lights (9b). Depress the power indicator button (9a) on the side to check the battery power level. When all three lights illuminate, it indicates the battery is at full power. The battery is at half full power when two lights illuminate. When one light illuminates only, it indicates that the battery is at a low power level and requires immediate charging.

WARNING: Always disconnect the

battery pack from the tool or place the switch in the locked or Off position before any assembly, adjustments or changing accessories. TRIGGER SWITCH ACTION (FIG 4)

• Turn the drill on by depressing the trigger switch (5).

• Depressing the switch further will produce more speed and torque.

• Use the forward/reverse switch (6) to change the direction of rotation of the drill.

• The forward/reverse switch has three positions: Forward, Reverse, and Off (middle).

• Always check the rotation before beginning your work. TWO-SPEED GEAR SWITCH (FIG 4)

• Slide the gear speed switch (2) to choose between position 1 for low-speed range (0-380 RPM) and position 2 for high-speed range (0-1500 RPM).

• The low-speed range has more power and torque. Use the low-speed range for higher power and torque applications, and for drilling materials which require a lower speed such as metal.

• The high-speed range is for faster drilling and driving applications. FIG 3

Secure the workpiece in place with clamps or other means.

Drill pilot holes for larger screws or when driving screws into hardwoods.

Exert enough pressure to start the screw and keep it turning. Do not force the screw. Let the tool do the work.

Use a speed that will not strip the screw head or break the screw. Maintain your balance. GENERAL DRILLING

Secure your workpiece. Use the drill mode, then exert enough pressure to start the drill bit and keep drilling. Do not force or stall the bit. Don’t bend or twist the bit. Let the tool and the drill bit do the work.

Maintain your balance and be prepared for binding and for bit breakthrough.

Chattering or vibration may indicate you need a finer bit or higher speed. If the bit overheats or clogs, it may indicate you need a coarser bit or slower speed setting.

The drill has a built-in LED work light (7-FIG 1) to illuminate the work area. When you turn on the tool, the work light will automatically turn on. ELECTRIC BRAKE This drill is equipped with an electric brake. Like the torque settings, an electric brake provides you with another element of control during various operations. If the tool consistently fails to quickly stop after the trigger switch is released, have a qualified serviceman examine the tool. CHUCK (FIG 5)

• Your drill is equipped with a keyless single-sleeve metal ratcheting chuck (1), so you can quickly change bits with no extra tools required.

• To insert or change bits, put the forward/reverse switch in the Off (middle) position. Rotate the chuck sleeve counter-clockwise to open the chuck jaws (1a) to a point where the opening is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use. Insert the bit. Tighten the chuck jaws by rotating the chuck body clockwise to secure the bit in place. Continue tightening until the chuck stops making a clicking sound. NOTE: Always make sure that bits are seated firmly between the chuck jaws. Never attempt to operate a bit that is wobbly, unstable, or broken.

• To remove bits, place the forward/reverse switch in the Off (middle) position. Loosen the chuck jaws by rotating the chuck sleeve counter-clockwise. Remove the bit.

Make sure the drill bit is inserted straight into the chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill bit into the chuck jaws at an angle and tighten. This could cause the drill bit to be thrown from the drill, resulting in possible serious personal injury.

MODE AND CLUTCH SETTINGS

(FIG 6) Screwdriving Mode This feature can be used to adjust the amount of torque (force) to prevent stripping and breaking of screws, or to set a series of screws to a depth that fits your project.

• First set the mode ring (3) to the drive mode ( ).

• Next adjust the torque by turning the clutch ring (4) starting with a low setting (1-9) and slowly increasing torque until the desired depth is reached.

• In general, you will find the lower settings more useful with smaller screws and the higher settings more useful for larger screws. Drill Mode Drill mode is direct drive (torque is not limited) and used primarily for drilling operations.

• Set the mode ring (3) to the drill mode ( ).

• Depending on the material being drilled, select high or low speed range on the gear switch (2-FIG-1). Hammer Mode Hammer mode is used specifically for drilling and driving into concrete and masonry using specialty drill bits and fasteners.

• Set the mode ring (3) to the hammer drill mode ( ).

• Make sure the gear switch (2-FIG-1) is set to the best speed range for the material being drilled. FIG 5 LOOSEN TIGHTEN
