Fitting drill bits and accessories
WARNING
: Always remove the Battery from the drill before attaching, adjusting or
removing accessories.
WARNING
: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front
part of the chuck and switching the tool on. This can lead to personal injury and can cause
damage to the chuck.
WARNING
: Never fit any accessory or bit with a maximum speed lower than the no load
speed of the power tool.
1. Open the Chuck Jaws (1) by holding the rear of the Chuck Collar (2) and rotating the
front of the Chuck Collar anti-clockwise
2. Place the drill bit or accessory centrally into the chuck
3. Tighten the Chuck Jaws by rotating the front of the Chuck Collar clockwise while
holding the rear of the Chuck Collar
4. When the drill bit or accessory is securely fastened, carefully run the machine to the
test that it is running centrally, smoothly and evenly. If the bit is 'wobbling' or not
running centrally, release the chuck, check the accessory for damage, correct its
position, retighten and test again
Operation
Direction control
WARNING
: NEVER change the direction of rotation while the tool is running.
• The direction of rotation can be set using the Forward/Reverse Switch (7)
• For anti-clockwise rotation, push the switch to the right
• For clockwise rotation, push the switch to the left
Note
: When the Forward/Reverse Switch is in the central position, the drill is locked and
cannot be switched on. Use this setting as a safety feature to prevent the drill from being
switched on accidentally.
Torque control
Note
: The cordless drill is equipped with a torque control clutch allowing the machine to be
set to the correct torque for the individual application.
• The clutch settings are indicated by the symbols on the Torque Selector (3)
• Rotate the Torque Selector to select the desired setting: the higher the number displayed
on the torque ring, the higher the torque produced by the tool
Gear selection
• Select gear 1 on the Gear Switch (4) for the higher torque. A lower speed gear is
generally more suitable for driving screws and fasteners
• Select gear 2 on the Gear Switch for the lower torque. A higher speed gear is for
drilling and must not be used for driving screws and fasteners
Note
: Always read the documentation provided with drill bits and accessories for the
recommended or maximum speed setting and use the most appropriate gear. See
Specification for the maximum no load speed of each gear.
Switching on/off
WARNING
: Always wear adequate personal protection equipment when setting up and
operating this machine.
1. To start the drill, squeeze the Trigger Switch (8)
2. The built-in Work Light (10) will illuminate when the Trigger Switch is squeezed
Note
: If the Trigger Switch cannot be pressed down, check that the Forward/Reverse
Switch (7) is not set to its middle position, which locks the device (see “Direction control”).
3. The speed of the drill is controlled by the movement of the trigger: the further the
Trigger Switch is pressed down, the faster the drill will run
4. Release the Trigger Switch to stop the machine
Battery Level Indicator
• Each time the Trigger Switch (8) is squeezed,
the Battery Level Indicator (5) (Fig. A) will display
the approximate level of remaining charge in the
Battery. The power tool features electronic cell
protection to protect the lithium-ion cells from
being completely discharged which can damage
cells especially when left in a fully discharged
state for an extended period. Shortly after the ‘LO’
section has been indicated on the Battery Level
Indicator, the drill will cease operating to protect
the lithium-ion cells from being fully discharged.
Screwdriver use
Note
: Always use a universal bit holder when working with screwdriver bits. Don’t mount
screwdriver bits directly into the chuck.
• Select gear 1 using the Gear Switch (4)
• When driving screws NEVER use the machine in drill mode
• Always adjust the drill to the appropriate torque setting (see “Torque control”)
Note
: If in doubt which torque setting best suits the application, start with a low setting and
increase, should more torque be required (e.g. if the screw is not being driven far enough
into the workpiece).
Drilling masonry and concrete
• Select hammer drilling mode with the Torque Selector (3)
• Select the appropriate gear using the Gear Switch (4)
• Hammer drill mode should be used for drilling into masonry and concrete
• Apply moderate pressure to the rear of the drill, in line with the drill bit
• Use masonry drill bits only. Ensure that the bit size is within the maximum capacity of
the machine (see “Specification”)
• Do not apply too much pressure. If debris blocks the drill hole, run the drill slowly and
remove the bit from the hole. Repeat until hole is cleared
WARNING
: The drill bit, especially the tip, will become very hot when drilling masonry and
concrete. DO NOT touch the bit and never allow it to come into contact with combustible
materials.
WARNING
: DO NOT inhale masonry dust. Wear adequate breathing protection. Dust from
masonry, concrete and similar substances is harmful and may be toxic.
Drilling wood
• Select drilling mode with the Torque Selector (3)
• Select the appropriate gear using the Gear Switch (4)
• Ensure that drill bits are suitable for wood, and are within the maximum capacity of this
machine (see “Specification”)
WARNING
: DO NOT inhale wood dust. Wear adequate breathing protection. Some wood
dusts may be toxic.
Drilling metal
• Select drilling mode
with the Torque Selector (3)
• Select the appropriate gear using the Gear Switch (4)
• Ensure that drill bits are suitable for the grade of metal being drilled, and are within the
maximum capacity of the machine (see “Specification”)
• To ensure accuracy, mark the intended hole position using a hammer and centre punch
WARNING
: Never switch the machine to hammer mode when drilling metal.
WARNING
: The drill bit and the workpiece will become very hot when drilling metal. DO
NOT touch the bit and never allow it to come into contact with combustible materials when
hot. Always use a suitable lubricant or cutting fluid, and drill at appropriate speeds.
• Only apply moderate pressure to the drill bit, ensuring efficient cutting and prolonged
drill bit life
• Use a countersink bit to remove sharp burrs from the hole, preventing cuts and other
kinds of injury
IMPORTANT
: If the power tool gets excessively hot in use, stop using the tool immediately
and allow to cool before continuing work. The cooling period can be reduced by operating
the drill at maximum speed with no load. Always make sure the Motor Vents (6) are not
blocked and do not allow dust to enter the body of the tool through the Motor Vents; dust,
especially metallic dust, may damage or destroy the tool.
Accessories
• A full range of accessories including drill bits, screwdriver bits, wire brushes etc. is
available from your Silverline dealer. Spare batteries can be ordered through your
Silverline dealer or toolsparesonline.com.
Maintenance
WARNING
: Always remove the plug from the mains power supply before carrying out
any maintenance/cleaning of the charger. Remove the battery before carrying out any
maintenance/cleaning of the drill.
Note
: Both the drill and the charger contain no user-serviceable parts. If the device does
not perform as outlined in this manual, return it to an authorised Silverline service centre
for repair.
Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear
quickly, and shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the body of your machine with
a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through
the ventilation holes
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that are no longer
functional and are not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, batteries, or other waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE), with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to
dispose of power tools or batteries
