VIBRATION INFORMATION
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745:
| Drilling into metal | Vibration emission value a_h,D = 2,675m/s^2 |
| Uncertainty K = 1,5m/s2 | |
| Screw driving without impact | Vibration emission value a_h = 1,831m/s^2 |
| Uncertainty K = 1,5m/s2 |
The declared vibration total value may be used for comparing one tool with another, and may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ
from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used: How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration accessories are used.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use
should take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Helping to minimize your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate).
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories.
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10^ C or less.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

We recommend that you purchase your accessories listed in the above list from the same store that sold you the tool. Refer to the accessory packaging for further details. Store personnel can assist you and offer advice.
DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS
- Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
- Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
- Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by conductive materials.
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 burns or a fire.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be charged before use. Always refer to this instruction and use the correct charging procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when not in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge the battery pack several times to obtain maximum performance.
I) Battery pack gives its best performance when it is operated at normal room temperature (20°C ± 5°C).
m) When disposing of battery packs, keep battery packs of different electrochemical systems separate from each other.
n) Recharge only with the charger specified by WORX. Do not use any charger other than that specifically provided for use with the equipment. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
o) Do not use any battery pack which is not designed for use with the equipment.
p) Keep battery pack out of the reach of children.
q) Retain the original product literature for future reference.
r) Remove the battery from the equipment when not in use.
s) Dispose of properly.

| ASSEMBLY |
BitLock™ Adjustment
WARNING: Always ensure the bit is secure before starting the tool. Damage to the Chuck or a loose bit may cause possible personal injury.
NOTE: When the chuck jaws become fully opened or closed, the clutch will activate, making a clicking sound. This sound is normal. If the Bit Lock™ Switch (12) does not operate, confirm the battery is charged and depress the trigger briefly. Keep drill tilted upward when adjusting the chuck to prevent bit from falling out.

| --Removing the Bits See Fig. B2 | |
| Assembling the belt hook and bit clip | See Fig.C1,C2,C3,C4 |
| OPERATION | |
| Forward/Reverse Rotation SwitchWARNING: Never change the direction of rotation when the Chuck is rotating. Wait until it has stopped! | See Fig. D1, D2, D3 |
| Function Mode SelectionPress the function button to select operation mode.The button will illuminate in blue for a few seconds.Depress the Variable Speed Switch (10) slightly to illuminate the function button again. | |
| Drive Mode with Safe driveWhen driving a screw, the tool automatically stops as the screw head becomes flush with surface of workpiece. If a deeper screw is desired, continue to depress the Variable Speed Switch (9). The too will make slow rotations to drive the screw deeper.Once the desired depth is reached, release the Variable Speed Switch (9).NOTE: If the tool stops sooner than desired, release the Variable Speed Switch (9) and press it again to reset the tool. | See Fig. E |
| Drill Mode See Fig. F | |
| Pulse AssistWARNING: Do not work for long periods with the Pulse Assist activated as the motor can be overheated.NOTE: Pulse Assist is very effective to prevent stripping screws, removing stubborn screws and to prevent the bit tip from walking when drilling on smooth surfaces. When the Pulse Assist is activated, it can be switched with the drill/drive mode.Make sure the Forward/Reverse Rotation Switch (4) is pushed to the left or right and the Pulse Assist is selected.Press the Variable Speed Switch (10), the tool will begin to rotate at a controllable pace. | See Fig. G |
| Variable Speed SwitchWARNING: Do not operate for long periods at low speed because excess heat will be produced internally. | See Fig. H |
| Using the LED lightTo turn on the light, press the Variable Speed Switch (9) and make sure the Forward/Reverse Rotation Switch (4) is on right or left position. When you release the Variable Speed Switch (9), the light will go off after a moment.The LED Light is also a battery capacity indicator. It will flash when power gets low.The tool and battery pack are equipped with a protection system. When the LED Light is quickly flashing, the system will automatically cut power to the tool to extend battery life. The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool and/or battery pack are placed under one of the following conditions:Overloaded:The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current. In this situation, release the Variable Speed Switch on the tool and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the Variable Speed Switch again to restart.Overheated:Under the condition above, if the tool does not start, the tool and Battery Pack are overheated. Let the tool and Battery Pack cool before pulling the Variable Speed Switch again.Low battery voltage:The remaining Battery capacity is too low and the tool will not operate. Remove and recharge the Battery Pack. | See Fig. H |
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. WHY DOES THE DRILL NOT TURN ON WHEN YOU PRESS THE SWITCH?
The Forward/Reverse Rotation Switch, which is on top of the trigger, is positioned in the lock function. Unlock the Forward/Reverse Rotation Switch by putting it into the required rotation position. Push the trigger and the drill will start to rotate.
2. REASONS FOR DIFFERENT BATTERY PACK WORKING TIMES
Charging time problems, and having not used a Battery Pack (7) 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 113^ F ( 45^ C) as this will affect performance.
3. THE BIT LOCK™ SWITCH WILL NOT ROTATE.
Pull the trigger and have the drill rotate briefly. The Bit Lock ^TM Switch ring should release and operate as normal.
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.
