Screwdriving
A screwdriver attachment is supplied with the drill which
allows the easy fitment of 6mm hex driver bits.
Select the drill / screw position on the selector.
Fit the driver adaptor supplied into the SDS Plus holder of
the drill.
Fit the required driver piece into the adaptor for the task to
be undertaken. (
Note:
Driver bits are not supplied with the
H144L1 kit)
When applying or removing screws, always wear safety
glasses.
Locate the driver bit into the head of the screw. Select
forward or reverse, depending on the operation to be
performed. Slowly depress the trigger while at the same
time applying pressure on the drill to maintain the driver bit
in the head of the screw.
Where possible, start the screwdriving operation under
variable speed and use full speed while the operation is
under way.
Note:
There is NO clutch on the output of the drill so
practice seating screws to the correct depth on a scrap
piece of timber first.
Warning:
Ensure the correct driver bit is selected for the
screw being fitted or removed.
Drill safety features
Drill overload
This drill is fitted with an overload protection. If the drill is
excessively forced, or the task being performed is too great
for the drill, the drill will automatically go into an overload
mode. When the drill goes into overload, the drill will
automatically and suddenly STOP. To reset the overload,
simply release the trigger. When the trigger is pressed
again, the drill will restart. Resume work after the overload
has been reset, but reduce the load by using a smaller drill
bit or re-sharpen the existing drill bit and reduce the amount
of force placed on the drill.
CAUTION.
Do not continue to overload the drill and
constantly reset the overload. Doing this will cause the
battery cells to overheat.
Temperature cut out
If the drill is constantly overloaded, or the drill is used
constantly at maximum rating in high ambient conditions,
the battery cells may overheat, causing the battery pack
to shut down.
When this occurs you will need to immediately stop drilling
and allow the battery cells to reduce the temperature.
To reduce the temperature of the cells, remove the battery
pack from the drill and place the battery pack in a free-air
environment, out of direct sunlight and any other heat
source.
DO NOT force cool the pack in any way. Do not place in
a refrigerator or freezer.
When the battery pack has cooled down it can again
be used to operate the drill, as long as the load or the
conditions causing the original excessive temperature
has been corrected.
