This document is an instruction manual for the Anko Cordless Drill, model JOZ-YFT56-112V, a 12-volt tool designed for general household use. It is explicitly stated that the drill is "Not for Commercial or Industrial purposes."
Function Description:
The Anko Cordless Drill is designed for boring holes in wood, aluminum, plastics, and mild steel. It also functions for screwdriving, which includes tightening and loosening wood screws. The tool's intended use is for these prescribed purposes, and any other use is considered a misuse. The manual advises against attempting tasks beyond the tool's capacity.

Usage Features:
The drill features a Keyless Chuck (1), Torque Control Knob (2), Rotation Lever (4), Handle/Grip (5), Battery Release Button (6), Battery Pack (7), Trigger Switch (8), and Battery Indicator (9).
- Charging: The battery pack is shipped in a low charge condition and must be fully charged for 5 hours before first use. For maximum capacity, it's recommended to fully discharge the batteries before recharging for the first 5 or 6 charges, with each subsequent charge taking 3-5 hours. The charging stand has a green light indicating power and a red light indicating charging; the red light turns off when fully charged, while the green light remains on. Charging must occur indoors in a well-ventilated area.
- Bit Installation/Removal: Bits are installed and removed by rotating the chuck in the "RELEASE" or "GRIP" directions. The battery pack should be removed before making any adjustments.
- Torque Control: The torque control knob offers 21+1 settings for pre-setting drilling and screwdriving depth. Settings 1-21 are for screwdriving, with 1 being low for small screws/soft materials and 21 for large screws/hard materials. The +1 setting is for regular drilling. It's advised to start at the lowest setting and increase as needed, using a scrap piece of material to determine the best setting.
- Switching On/Off: The tool is started by squeezing the trigger switch. The rotation lever controls clockwise (right to left) and anti-clockwise (left to right) rotation. For safety, the rotation lever should be in the neutral (center) position when not in use to prevent accidental starting.
- Drilling Wood: For wood drilling, the torque control should not be used; instead, the regular drilling position (Fig.6) should be selected. Woodworking bits are recommended. Soft wood should be drilled at maximum speed, while hard wood requires low speed. Always drill in forward rotation.
- Drilling Metals and Plastics: For metals, a hole punch is advised to mark the drilling point. A metal working bit should be used, along with a cooling agent (drilling oil or paraffin turpentine mixture) to manage heat and prevent the drill from becoming hard to control. For plastics, water or a cooling agent can prevent discoloration.
- Screwdriving: A suitable pilot hole should be made in wood to prevent the screw and bit from wandering. The appropriate torque setting should be selected and aligned with the mark at the top of the drill. It's recommended to operate the tool at low speed for screwdriving. When the clutch engages, pressure on the trigger switch should be immediately released.
Safety Warnings:
The manual emphasizes reading all safety warnings and instructions to prevent electric shock, fire, and serious injury. Key safety points include:
- Keeping the work area clean and well lit.
- Not operating in explosive atmospheres.
- Keeping children and bystanders away.
- Using appropriate power tool plugs and avoiding modification.
- Avoiding body contact with earthed surfaces.
- Not exposing power tools to rain or wet conditions.
- Not abusing the power cord.
- Using an RCD protected supply in damp locations.
- Staying alert and using common sense.
- Wearing personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection.
- Ensuring the switch is off before connecting power or handling the tool.
- Removing adjusting keys/wrenches before turning the tool on.
- Not overreaching and maintaining proper footing.
- Dressing properly, avoiding loose clothing or jewelry.
- Connecting dust extraction facilities if provided.
- Not forcing the power tool.
- Not using a tool with a faulty switch.
- Disconnecting the battery pack before adjustments or storage.
- Storing idle tools out of reach of children.
- Maintaining tools and keeping cutting tools sharp.
- Using the tool, accessories, and bits according to instructions.
- Recharging only with the specified charger.
- Using only specifically designed battery packs.
- Keeping battery packs away from other metal objects when not in use to prevent shorting.
- Avoiding contact with battery liquid; flush with water if contact occurs, seek medical help if it gets in eyes.
- Having the tool serviced by a qualified repair person using identical replacement parts.
- Wearing ear protectors with impact drills.
- Using auxiliary handles if supplied.
- Holding the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when cutting near hidden wiring.
- Not changing chuck rotation direction while the tool is in use.
- Not using tape or other materials to keep the trigger switch pressed down.
- Ensuring the drill/screwdriver bit is installed correctly and placed firmly on the workpiece before starting.
- Holding the tool firmly during operation, especially during "hole break through."
- Not pressing excessively on the tool.
- Clamping the workpiece securely.
- Using only sharp drill bits.
- Commencing drilling at low speed.
- Placing an additional piece of wood under the workpiece to prevent splintering.
- Using a residual current device with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
Maintenance Features:
- General: Regularly inspect the tool to ensure fixing screws remain tight and clean the tool after each use.
- Charger: Do not use a damaged charger power cord; it must be replaced by an authorized service professional.
- Bits: Do not use worn or damaged drill/screwdriver bits, as this can lead to motor overload and reduced efficiency.
- Motor: Exercise care to prevent the motor from being damaged by oil or water.
- Damage Inspection: Regularly inspect the tool for damage. If any parts are damaged or missing, do not use the product and consult an authorized power tool repair agent.
- Overload Prevention: The motor can be damaged by overload. Forcing the tool will not result in faster operation and can cause the motor to burn out, substandard work, shorter tool life, and injury.
- Motor Cooling: If running the tool continuously at low speed, occasionally run it off load at full speed for approximately one minute to create a cooling airflow for the motor.
Warranty:
The Anko Cordless Drill comes with a 12-month warranty from Kmart Australia Ltd, covering defects in materials and workmanship, provided the product is used according to recommendations. This warranty is in addition to rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Consumables like bags and drill bits are not covered under warranty. The battery should be charged within 1 month of purchase and every 3 months thereafter.
