Operating Instructions
Warning
Never fit any attachment with a maximum speed lower than the no load
speed of the machine.
Fitting a drill bit
Open the chuck (1) jaws by rotating the front chuck ring clockwise.
•
The drill bit can then be placed into the chuck.
•
Tighten the chuck jaws by rotating the front chuck ring anti-clockwise.
•
Do not run the drill whilst tightening or releasing the chuck.
•
When the drill bit is held tightly, test that it is central by running the drill.
•
The drill bit should rotate smoothly with no “wobble”. If the drill bit is not
central, release the chuck, and retighten.
Direction control
The direction of rotation can be set using the reverse switch (3).
•
To make the drill rotate anti-clockwise, push the reverse switch to the
•
right.
To make the drill rotate clockwise, push the reverse switch to the left.
•
When the reverse switch is in the central position, the drill is locked.
•
Do not attempt to move the reverse switch when the drill is running.
•
Switching on
To start the drill, squeeze the trigger switch (5).
•
The speed of the drill is controlled by the movement of the trigger, the
•
further the trigger is depressed, the faster the drill will run.
Gear selection
This drill is equipped with a 2 speed gearbox. The lower gear provides
•
speeds between 0-400RPM with a high torque. The higher gear provides
speeds between 0-1200RPM with reduced torque.
For jobs that do not require speeds above 400RPM, use low gear. This
•
will reduce the load on the motor.
To select a gear, slide the gear selector (3) to the appropriate position.
•
Do not attempt to move the gear selector when the drill is running.
•
Level Bubble
The level bubble enables you to check that holes are being drilled
•
horizontally.
To ensure a perfectly horizontal hole, keep the bubble central between
•
the two black lines while drilling.
Side Handle
The side handle (9) should always be used to ensure a secure grip and
•
good control.
The side handle can be adjusted to the best position for the job to be
•
done. To adjust the side handle, loosen the clamp and rotate. Retighten
the clamp before use.
Checking battery level
This drill is fitted with a battery level indicator (8).
•
To check the charge remaining in the battery, press the button in the
•
middle of the indicator.
If only red lights illuminate, the battery is low. If only red and orange
•
lights illuminate, the battery is part charged. If red, orange, and green
lights illuminate then the battery is fully charged.
Torque control
This drill is fitted with a torque control clutch (2). This limits the torque
•
output of the drill, enabling screws to be driven without the risk of
damage.
The clutch settings are indicated by the symbols on the clutch ring.
•
Rotate the clutch ring to select the correct torque.
•
For drilling, rotate the clutch ring to the drill symbol. This will lock the
•
clutch for maximum torque.
Charging the battery
The following procedure should be followed:
The battery should be fully discharged before charging
•
The battery should be charged at 20˚C (room temperature)
•
Plug the charger into the power supply
•
Ensure that the power supply is switched on
•
Insert the battery pack into the charger
•
The red indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the battery is being
•
charged.
Allow 15mins for the battery to cool before use.
•
Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply, and is
•
stored correctly.
IMPORTANT
: Failure to follow the correct procedure when charging the
batteries will result in permanent damage.
You must follow the correct
procedure.
Maintenance and Disposal
Replacement brushes
Over time, the carbon brushes in the motor will wear away. This wear
•
process will be accelerated if the machine is used in dusty environments,
or if the machine is overloaded.
If the brushes have become excessively worn; motor performance may
•
decrease, the machine may fail to start, or excessive sparking may be
observed.
If you suspect that the brushes may be worn, have them replaced at an
•
authorised service centre.
Cleaning
Disconnect the machine from the mains supply before cleaning.
•
Keep your machine clean. Always clean dust/particles away, and never
•
allow ventilation holes to become blocked. Use a soft brush, or dry cloth
to clean the machine, if available blow through the ventilation holes with
clean, dry, compressed air.
Disposal
Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic
•
equipment (WEEE), with household waste.
Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the proper
•
way to dispose of power tools.
