nected from the power tool.
- The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge cycles, the battery’s op-
eration time and the maximum torque performance of the drill will slightly reduce. This
decline will continue until the battery has minimal capacity after 500 charge cycles. This
is normal and not a fault with the battery pack.
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 grip-
ping the Chuck Collar and switching the tool on. This can lead to personal injury
and can cause damage to the chuck.
WARNING: Never fit any attachment with a maximum speed lower than the no-
load speed of the power tool or selected gear.
1. Open the Chuck Jaws by rotating the Chuck Collar anti-clockwise (with the chuck facing
the operator).
2. Place the drill bit or accessory into the Chuck Jaws correctly centralized.
3. Tighten the Chuck Jaws by rotating the Chuck Collar clockwise.
4. When the drill bit or accessory is securely fastened, carefully run the machine to test that
it is running centrally, smoothly and evenly. If the bit is 'wobbling' or not running centrally,
release the Chuck Jaws, 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 (8).
- For anti-clockwise rotation, holding the drill in a normal operating position, 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.
Speed control
This drill features a 2-speed gearbox:
- 1st gear range: 0 – 400/min
- 2nd gear range: 0 – 1450/min
Use the Gear Selector to set the gear: back for first gear, forward for second gear. Note: The
first gear would be used normally for driving screws, for example, and offers higher torque
and superior control at low rpm. The second gear would normally be used exclusively for
drilling.
