To preserve natural resources, please
recycle or dispose of the battery pack
properly. This battery pack contains
Ni-Cd batteries. Consult your local waste
authority for information regarding available
recycling and/or disposal options. Discharge your
battery pack by operating your drill, then remove
the battery pack from the drill housing and cover
the battery pack connections with heavy duty
adhesive tape to prevent short circuit and energy
discharge. Do not attempt to open or remove any
of the components.
MaINtENaNcE
Your tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your tool,
battery pack or charger. Never use water or
chemical cleaners to clean your tool. Wipe clean
with a dry cloth. Always store your tool in a dry
place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean.
Hole drilling
1. When attempting to drill a large diameter hole,
it is recommended to start with a smaller drill
bit then to the required size. This prevents
overloading the drill.
2. If the drill bit snags, switch off the drill
immediately to prevent permanent damage.
Try the reverse drive to remove the bit.
3. Keep the drill in line with the hole. Ideally, If
the angle is changed during drilling it could
cause the bit to break.
4. Frequently remove the drill bit from the hole
when drilling deep holes to allow the dust to
be ejected from the hole.
screw driving
1. When driving larger and/or longer screws into
hard material, it is advisable to drill a pilot hole
first, slightly longer and just smaller than the
shank diameter of the screw to be fitted. The
pilot hole will act as a guide for the screw and
will also make tightening of the screw less
difficult. When screws are positioned close to
an edge of the material, a pilot hole will also
help to prevent splitting of the wood.
2. Use only screwdriver bits that fit properly in
the head of the screw.
3. When driving screws, always keep enough
pressure on the drill to prevent wearing of
the screw head. It will be difficult to drive or
remove a screw if the screw head is worn.

FaQ
Should you encounter any problems when using
your cordless drill, check the following list.
1. trigger will not depress
The trigger will not depress if the Forward/
Reverse rotation control is in the locked
position. Move it to the forward or reverse
position.
2. trigger depresses but drill will not work
The cordless drill/driver needs sufficient
charge in the battery pack to work. The battery
charge will deplete if not used for a long period
of time. Try recharging the battery pack.
3. Battery pack leaks
A small amount of leakage may occur under
extreme temperatures or after heavy use.
Immediately wash any leakage from hands,
skin or clothes with soap and water.
4. Battery will not charge and light on charger
will not show.
If the battery will not charge, check whether
the battery is properly inserted into the
charging base, and make sure the indicator
light is on.
5. the drill body gets hot after extensive use
Under normal load condition, the body and
the battery pack will heat up as the energy
absorbed in the drilling operation produces
heat. This is quite normal. Simply allow the
drill to cool down for a few minutes.
6. the battery pack gets warm during use
The power-draw from the battery generates
heat. This is increased as the energy draw
increases. The battery pack will not be
damaged and the generated heat is normal.
Allow the drill to cool down prior to continuing
work.
7. the battery pack gets warm when charging
This is normal. It is a result from the stepping
down of the chemical reactions inside the
