This product will accept RYOBI One+ 18 V lithium-ion
battery packs and RYOBI One+ 18 V nickel-cadmium
battery packs.
BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
RYOBI 18 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with
features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize
battery life. Under some operating conditions, these
built-in features may cause the battery and the tool it is
powering to act differently from nickel-cadmium batteries.
During some applications, the battery electronics may
signal the battery to shut down, and cause the tool to
stop running. To reset the battery and tool, release the
trigger and resume normal operation.
NOTE:
To prevent further shut down of the battery, avoid
forcing the tool.
If releasing the trigger does not reset the battery and
tool, the battery pack is depleted. If depleted, the battery
pack will begin charging when placed on the lithium-ion
charger.
TO INSTALL BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2.
■
Lock the switch trigger by placing the rotation selector
in the center position.
■
Place the battery pack on the tool.
■
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery
pack snap into place and the battery pack is secured
on the tool before beginning operation.
WARNING
Always remove battery pack from your tool when
you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery
pack will prevent accidental starting that could
cause serious personal injury.
TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2.
■
Lock the switch trigger by placing the rotation selector
in the center position.
■
Depress the latches on the side of battery pack.
■
Remove the battery pack from the tool.
WARNING
Battery tools are always in operating condition.
Therefore, switch should always be locked when
not in use or when carrying at your side.
SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 3.
■
To turn the drill
ON
, depress the switch trigger.
■
To turn it
OFF
, release the switch trigger.
VARIABLE SPEED
The variable speed switch trigger 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.
ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 3.
The bit rotation is reversible and is controlled by a
selector located above the switch trigger. With the drill
held in normal operating position, the rotation selector
should be positioned to the left of the switch trigger for
forward drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when
the selector is to the right of the switch trigger.
Setting the switch trigger 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 changing 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 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.
