fuel gauge which consists of three green
LED lights that indicate the level of charge
remaining in the battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold
the fuel gauge button (L). A combination
of the three green LED lights will illuminate
designating the level of charge left. When
the level of charge in the battery is below
the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not

recharged.
NOTE:
The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the
battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to
variation based on product components, temperature and end-user
application.

Drilling (Fig. 8)
NOTICE:
If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to
prevent damage to the material.
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to
match the speed and torque to the planned operation. Turn the
collar (C) to the drill symbol.
2. Use sharp drill bits only. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement,
cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion
drilling.
3. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push hard enough to stall
the motor or defl ect the bit.
