Magnetic Screw Strip
Your cordless drill is designed with a magnetic screw strip to hold the
screws you are using minimising the chance of losing or misplacing them.
Keyless Chuck
A keyless chuck has been provided with your drill to allow for easy
installation and removal of bits. The chuck is divided into two parts, the rear
is called the collar and the front is the body. To open and close the chuck;
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 GRIP (tighten) or RELEASE
(unlock) the drill bit.
WARNING:
Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use power
of the drill to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws. The chuck body could
slip and your hand could come in contact with a rotating accessory.
This could cause an accident resulting in personal injury.
Installing Drill Bits
•
Remove battery from the drill.
•
Open or close the chuck to a point where the opening is slightly larger
than the drill bit you intend to use.
•
Insert the drill bit into the chuck ensuring the end of the drill bit does
not touch the screw inside the chuck.
•
Tighten the chuck onto the drill bit as described above (Keyless Chuck).
Removing Drill Bits
•
Remove the battery from the drill.
•
Loosen the chuck as described above (Keyless Chuck).
•
Remove the drill bit from the chuck.
Note: Do not handle drill bits without gloves as drill bits and other
accessories are sharp and can cause a personal injury.
