BATTERy PROTEcTION FEATURES
Ryobi lithium-ion batteries are designed with features that
protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize 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 10.
Place the direction of rotation selector in the center
position.
Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and that battery pack is secured in the
product before beginning operation.
TO REMOvE BATTERy PAck
Depress the latches on each side of the battery pack.
Remove the battery pack from the tool.
WARNING:
Battery products are always in operating condition.
Therefore, the switch should always be locked when not
in use or carrying at your side.
SWITcH TRIGGER
See Figure 3, page 10.
To turn the drill
ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF, release the switch trigger.
vARIABLE SPEED
The switch trigger delivers higher speed 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.
DIREcTION OF ROTATION SELEcTOR
(FORWARD/REvERSE/cENTER LOck)
See Figure 3, page 10.
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 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 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 10.
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits
in the chuck jaws. The arrows on the chuck indicate which
direction to rotate the chuck body in order to
LOck (tighten)
or
UNLOck (release) the drill bit.
