OPERATING NOTES FOR BATTERY PACK
5
6
1. Battery must be fully charged before the first use. Batteries will reach full
performance after about five charge/discharge cycles.
2. Always have drill rotation switch in neutral position when removing or inserting
battery to avoid unintentional starting.
3. To remove battery pack, press the lock spring buttons and pull out.
4. To insert, simply push pack in until lock spring clicks.
5. To charge, plug the charger’s AC input plug into a 120V 60Hz household current.
The step of the battery pack has positive and negative terminal marking on it. Align
these with the identical markings on the top of the charger base and insert pack
into base (Pack will not insert properly if reversed)
6. When the charger is plugged into the wall receptacle and NO battery is on the
charger stand, the green indicator light will turn ON indicating the charger is “live”.
When a discharged battery is installed on the charger, the red indicator light will
turn on indicating the battery is charged. If the red indicator light does not come
ON, check to make sure battery pack is slid fully onto the charger and the electrical
outlet is working properly.
7. Normal charging time is approximately 4 hours. The red charging indicator light will
8. When charging more than one pack in succession, allow 15 minutes between
charges.
9. The battery discharges slowly overtime, even when not used, and may require
recharging before you use the tool.
10. After many charge/discharge cycles, your batteries will lose their ability to hold a
charge. They should then be replaced. Dispose of batteries at an appropriate waste
disposal facility. They contain cadmium, so do not throw batteries away in common
trash receptacles.
11. For use only with Ultra Steel AP00965G -B Ni-cd battery.
OPERATING NOTES FOR DRILL
OPERATING NOTES FOR CIRCULAR SAW
VARIABLE SPEED
1. You can vary the spindle rotation speed by modulating finger pressure on the
trigger.
2. Selecting high or low gear.
• Move the gear selector switch forward, exposing the ‘HI’ legend, to work in the
high-speed range.
• Move the gear selector switch backward, exposing the ‘LO’ legend, to work in the
low speed range.
• In the low gear (low-speed range), the drill turns with more torque, especially good
for operations that require more power than speed, such as driving screws.
ROTATION DIRECTION
Your drill is equipped with a 3-position forward/reverse switch through the housing
above the trigger.
1. When it is pushed toward the right, rotation is forward (clockwise).
2. When pushed in from the right to the left side, rotation is reversed
(counter-clockwise).
3. When in center position, it is locked in neutral and the trigger is blocked.
4. Do not push the rotation direction switch until the chuck stops turning.
TORQUE REGULATOR
This is a 22+ position dial situated just before the chuck.
1. When dial indicator reads 1, torque is at minimum before the clutch disengages the
chuck from the drive; when indicator is just past 22, output is at maximum before it is
disengaged.
screw deeper into material; less torque will prevent it stripping. Larger screws require
more torque to drive than small ones. A little trial and error will show you which is the
optimum setting for the situation.
3. Release the trigger when the clicking sound indicates the chuck will not turn further.
4. For drilling, always use the drill setting, indicated by a drill bit. At this setting, the
drive does not disengage from the chuck.
KEYLESS CHUCK
1. Center the rotation direction switch to prevent the motor accidentally starting.
2. Note there are two rings on the chuck. Turning the endmost knurled ring of the
chuck clockwise by hand while with the other hand, holding the second ring (closer
to the rear of the tool) to prevent the motor turning; closes the jaws of the chuck.
Turning that same endmost knurled ring counter-clockwise opens the jaws.
3. Open the jaws to accept a bit and then close the jaws so they clamp the bit tightly.
WARNING: Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord.
WARNING:
serious problems if:
• The miter housing gets hot
• Sparks or odors emit from the casing
CAUTION: Do not put hands directly in front of, behind, or below the saw
blade when cutting.
