19.2 V lithium-ion battery packs are designed
with features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maxi-
mize battery life.
If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset
and resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the
battery needs to be recharged.
TO INSTALL BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2, page i.
Lock the switch trigger on the drill by placing the direc-
tion of rotation selector in the center position.
Place the battery pack in the drill. Align the raised rib
on the battery pack with the groove inside the drill.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap into place and the battery pack is secured in the
drill before beginning operation.
TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2, page i.

tion of rotation selector in the center position.
Locate the latches on the side of the battery pack and
depress to release the battery pack from the drill.
Remove the battery pack from the drill.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating
condition. Therefore, switch should always be locked
when not in use or carrying at your side.
SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 3, page i.
To turn the drill
ON
, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF
, release the switch trigger.
VARIABLE SPEED
The variable speed switch delivers higher speed and
torque with increased trigger pressure and lower speed
with decreased trigger pressure.
NOTE:
You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from
the switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a
normal part of the switch function.
FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK
See Figure 3.
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the
drill held in normal operating position, the direction of
rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the
switch trigger for drilling. The drilling direction is reversed
when the selector is to the right of the switch trigger.
Setting the direction of rotation selector in the
OFF
(center
lock) position helps reduce the possibility of accidental
starting when not in use.
CAUTION:
To prevent gear damage, always allow
the chuck to come to a complete stop before chang-
ing the direction of rotation.
To stop the drill, release the switch trigger and allow the
chuck to come to a complete stop.
NOTE:
The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool
the drill by running it without a load and at full speed.
KEYLESS CHUCK
See Figure 4, page i.
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits
in the chuck jaws. Grasp and hold the collar of the chuck
with one hand. Rotate the chuck body with your other
hand. The arrows on the chuck indicate which direction
to rotate the chuck body in order to
LOCK
(tighten) or
UNLOCK
(release) the drill bit.
