GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire 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 (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered 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 body 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.

e) 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.

f) If operating 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.

3) Personal safety

a) 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. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

TWO-SPEED GEAR CONTROLSelect low speed (1) for applications requiring higher power and torque, such as driving screws and drilling in metal.Select high speed (2) for fast drilling or screwdriving applications or for drilling in wood or masonry.WARNING: To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.	See Fig. E
TORQUE ADJUSTMENTDrilling, Screw drivingNOTE:Rotate the adjustment ring to the proper torque setting for the type of material and size of screw you are using.• 1 - 3 For driving small screws• 4 - 7 For driving screws into soft material• 8 - 11 For driving screws into soft and hard materials• 12- 15 For driving screws into hard wood• 16- 18 For driving large screws• Drill icon - For heavy drilling	See Fig.F1, F2
Operating the On/Off SwitchWARNING: Do not operate for long periods at low speed because excess heat will be produced internally.	See Fig. G

LED Light Indicator

Before operation, the LED light will be activated when the On/Off switch is slightly depressed.

WARNING: To turn on the light, press the On/Off switch and make sure the Forward/Reverse Rotation Control is on right/left position.

The tool and battery are equipped with a protection system. When the LED Light is quickly flashing and turn off, the system will automatically cut off power to the tool to extend battery life. The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following conditions:

• Overloaded (The LED light quickly flashes for 4-6 times and turn off): The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current. In this situation, release the On/Off Switch on the tool and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the On/Off Switch again to restart.

• Overheated (The LED light quickly flashes for 9 times and turn off): Under the condition above, if the tool does not start, the Tool and Battery are overheated. In this situation, let the Tool and Battery cool before pulling the On/Off Switch again.

- Low battery voltage (The LED light quickly flashes for 2 times and turn off): The remaining Battery capacity is too low and the tool will not operate. In this situation, remove and recharge the Battery.

See Fig. G

6.PROBLEM SOLUTION

1. WHY DOES THE DRILL NOT TURN ON WHEN YOU PRESS THE SWITCH?

The Forward/Reverse Rotation Control, which is on top of the On/Off Switch, is positioned in the lock function. Unlock the Forward/Reverse Rotation Control by putting it into the required rotation position. Push the On/Off Switch and the drill will start to rotate. Check that the battery is charged and properly connected to the tool.

2. THE DRILL STOPS BEFORE THE SCREW IS COMPLETELY TIGHTENED. WHY?

Verify the position of the torque adjusting ring. Find the torque adjusting ring between the chuck and the drill body. Position 1 is the lowest torque (screw driving force) and position 18 is the highest torque (screw driving force). Position ⚡ is for drill operation. Regulate the torque adjusting ring to a higher position to reach the best result.

3. REASONS FOR DIFFERENT BATTERY PACK WORKING TIMES

Charging time problems, as above, and having not used a battery pack for a prolonged time will reduce the battery pack working time. This can be corrected after several charge and discharge operations by charging & working with your drill. Heavy working conditions such as large screws into hard wood will use up the battery pack energy faster than lighter working conditions. Do not re-charge your battery pack below 32^ F ( 0^ C) and above 104^ F ( 40^ C) as this will affect performance.

7.MAINTENANCE

Remove the Battery Pack from the tool before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

Your tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.

There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool.

FOR BATTERY TOOLS

The ambient temperature range for the use and storage of tool and battery is 0^ C- 45^ C ( 32^ F- 113^ F). The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is 0^ C- 40^ C ( 32^ F- 104^ F).
