This product will accept RIDGID 18 V lithium-ion battery
packs and RIDGID 18 V nickel-cadmium battery packs.
For complete charging instructions, refer to the Operator’s
Manual for the battery packs and chargers listed in the
General Safety Rules.
BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
RIDGID 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. Switching to a lower speed will also prevent
shut down.
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 INS
TALL BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3, page 14.
Lock the switch trigger on the drill by placing the direc-
tion of rotation (forward/reverse/center lock) selector in
center position.
Place battery pack in the drill. Align raised rib on battery
pack with the groove inside the drill.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and battery pack is secured in the drill
before beginning operation.
TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3, page 14.
Lock the switch trigger on the drill by placing the direction
of rotation selector in center position.
Locate latches on side of battery pack and depress to
release battery pack from the drill.
The battery pack will disconnect in the direction to be
removed when buttons are depressed.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition.
Therefore, switch should always be locked when
not in use or carrying at your side.
SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 4, page 14.
To turn the drill
ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF, release the switch trigger.
VARIABLE SPEED
See Figure 4, page 14.
The variable speed 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 4, page 14.
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 5, page 15.
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
GRIP (tighten)
or
OPEN (release) the drill bit.
WARNING:
Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use
the power of the drill to tighten the chuck jaws on
the drill bit. The chuck body could slip in your hand,
or your hand could slip and come in contact with
the rotating drill bit. This could cause an accident
resulting in serious personal injury.
