4. To avoid injury from accidental starting, always remove the battery from the tool 

before installing or removing a drill bit. 

5. DO NOT install or use any drill bit that exceeds 7" (17.5 cm) in length or 

extends more than 6" (15 cm) beyond the chuck jaws. They can bend or break 

suddenly.

6. Before starting the operation, jog the drill switch to make sure the drill bit does 

not wobble or vibrate. 

7. DO NOT use fly cutters or multiple-part hole cutters, because they can come 

apart or become unbalanced during use. 

8. Make sure the spindle has come to a complete stop before touching the chuck 

or attempting to change the drill bit. 

9. Always make sure the chuck is tight and the drill bit firmly tightened in the 

chuck before starting drill.

DRILLING

1. If drilling in a small workpiece, make sure it is securely held in a vise or 

clamped to a secure platform such as a bench or table.

2. Install the correct drill bit in the chuck. Rotate the chuck body to loosen or tighten 

the drill bit in the chuck. Never use the drill’s power to rotate the chuck body.

3. Select the rotation direction to clockwise, using the button located above the 

trigger switch.

4. Select the correct transmission speed. Use the slower speed for drilling  

large holes.

5. Set the torque adjusting collar to the drilling position (drill icon on tool).
6. Slide the fully charged battery pack onto the base of the handle.
7. Mark the drilling point with a center punch when drilling in metal to prevent the 

drill bit from slipping off center as you begin drilling.

8. Place the drill bit at the location of the hole to be drilled and squeeze the trigger. 

The harder you squeeze, the faster the drill turns. 

DRIVING SCREWS

1. Install the correct screwdriver bit in the chuck. Use the largest bit size that will 

properly fit the screw. Make sure the flat sides of the bit are gripped by the chuck.

2. Set the transmission speed to low speed.
3. Set the rotation direction to clockwise. 
4. Set the torque collar to #10.
5. Place the screwdriver bit into the screw and hold the bit firmly into the screw to 

prevent slippage and drive a test screw.

6. After driving a test screw, adjust the torque setting up or down so the screw is 

driven to the desired depth without being over-driven.

7. Release the trigger immediately when the torque clutch begins to “rattle”.
8. Driven screws can be removed by reversing the direction of the rotation.

WARNING

:

 

Always charge the battery pack indoors in a well-ventilated area. 

The charger must never be subjected to wet conditions.

is recommended that a qualified electrician verify the ACTUAL VOLTAGE at the receptacle 

into which the product will be plugged and confirm that the receptacle is properly fused 

and grounded.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS PRODUCT if the ACTUAL power source voltage is less than 105 

volts AC or greater than 132 volts AC. Contact a qualified electrician if this problem 

exists. Improper performance and/or damage to the product will result if operated on 

inadequate or excessive power.
DO NOT abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep 

cord away from heat, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. 

Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

4. Plug the transformer into the 110-120V 60 Hz wall receptacle.

BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHTS

1. The green indicator light will turn ON indicating the charger is “live.”
2. The red indicator light will turn ON when the charging cap is properly installed 

onto the battery.

3. If the red indicator light does not turn on, check to make sure the charging cap 

is slid fully onto the battery and the electrical outlet is working properly.

4. The green indicator light will turn ON when the battery is fully charged.
5. The battery should be left on the charger for 5 hours or until the green indicator 

light turns ON to ensure it is fully charged.
