CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES (cont.)
• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the quicker
they lose their charge. If you store your tool for long periods of time without using
it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery life.
The ON/OFF Switch
Turn the drill ON by depressing the switch. To turn the tool OFF, release the switch.
Speed Control
The tool has a 2-speed gearbox. 1st gear has a range 0-350 rpm. 2nd gear has a range
of 0-1100 rpm. The speed can be varied from 0 to maximum in either gear, depending
on the pressure applied to the switch. This way you can select the best possible speed
for the job being done.
Level Indicator
Use the level indicator for accurate drilling.
Hammer Drilling
Select hammer function on the hammer/drill selector collar for drilling into masonry,
brick or concrete.
Changing the Direction of Rotation
The direction of rotation can be changed with the forward/reverse selector above the switch.
To select the forward drilling position, push the selector hard left. To select the reverse
drilling position, push the selector hard right.
The switch can be locked off by pushing the forward / reverse selector into the middle
of both forward and reverse positions.
Do not change the direction of rotation while the chuck is still in motion.
Torque Settings
(Tightening Power of Your Cordless Drill)
When using your drill for various driving applications, it becomes necessary to increase
and decrease the power and torque in order to prevent the possibility of damaging
screw heads, threads, work piece, etc.
In general, power and torque should correspond to the difficulty of the screw to be
driven. If torque is too high the screws may be damaged or broken.
To Adjust Torque
• Locate the arrow on the front of the housing.
• Identify the torque settings and 1 drill setting on the torque adjustment collar.
• Rotate the adjustment collar to the desired setting, aligning the number on the
adjustment collar with the arrow on the housing.
• To increase or decrease torque, rotate torque adjustment collar. The lower the number,
the lower the tor
que setting. The higher the number, the higher the torque setting.
Always check that the correct torque is selected by practising on scrap material prior to
carrying out a job.
