GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

3
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

sufficient force until it clicks into position.
OPERATION
1. ON / OFF SWITCH (SEE FIG. C)
Depress the On/Off switch to start and release it to stop
your drill.
The on/off switch is fitted with a brake function which stops
your chuck immediately when you quickly release the switch.
It is also a variable speed switch that delivers higher speed
and torque with increased trigger pressure. Speed is
controlled by the amount of switch trigger depression.
WARNING: Do not operate for long periods at
low speed because excess heat will be produced
internally. When overload occurs, release the On/Off
switch immediately to avoid the motor overheating.
2. SWITCH LOCK (SEE FIG. C)
The switch trigger can be locked in the OFF position. This
helps to reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not
in use. To lock the switch trigger, place the rotation control in
the center position.

3. REVERSIBLE (SEE FIG. D1, D2)
For drilling and screw driving use forward rotation marked
“ ” (lever is moved to the left of the drill) (D1). Only use
reverse rotation marked “ ” (lever is moved to the right of
the drill) (D2) to remove screws or release a jammed drill bit.
WARNING: Never change the direction of rotation
when the chuck is rotating, wait until it has stopped!
4. TWO-SPEED GEAR CONTROL (SEE FIG. E1, E2)
The drill has a two-speed gear control designed for drilling
or driving at LO (mark is 1) or HI (mark is 2) speeds. A slide
switch is located on top of the drill to select either LO or HI
speed. When using the drill in the LO speed range, the speed
will decrease and the drill will have greater power and torque.
When using the drill in the HI speed range, the speed will
increase and the drill will have less power and torque.
Gear I
Low speed range: for screwdriving or working with large
drilling diameter
Gear II
High speed range: for working with small drilling diameter
WARNING: To prevent gear damage, always allow
the chuck to come to a complete stop before
changing the direction of rotation or the two-speed gear
control. When overload occurs frequently on the high
speed gear, switch to the low speed gear to avoid the
motor overheating.
5. CHUCK ADJUSTMENT (SEE FIG. F)
To open the chuck jaws rotate the front section of the chuck.
Insert the drill bit between the chuck jaws and rotate the
front section in the opposite direction. Ensure the drill bit is
in the center of the chuck jaws. Finally, firmly rotate the front
chuck section in the opposite directions. Your drill bit is now
clamped in the chuck.

6. TORQUE ADJUSTMENT (SEE FIG. G)
(Screw driving force of your drill driver)
The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment
ring. The torque is greater when the torque adjustment ring
is set on a higher setting. The torque is less when the torque
adjustment ring is set on a lower setting.
Make the setting as follows:
1 - 4 for driving small screws
5 - 9 for driving screws into soft material
10 - 14 for driving screws into soft and hard material
15 - 19 for driving screws into hard wood
20 - 21 for driving larger screws
for heavy drilling
7. AUTOMATIC SPINDLE LOCK (SEE FIG. H)
The automatic spindle lock allows you to use it as a regular
screwdriver. You can give an extra twist to firmly tighten a
screw, loosen a very tight screw or continue working when the
battery energy has expired. For manual screwdriver purposes,
the chuck is automatically locked when the tool is off.
8. USING THE LED LIGHT
To turn on the LED light simply press the on/off switch. When
you release the on/off switch, the light will be off.
LED lighting increases visibility-great for dark or enclosed
area.
9. DRILLING
When drilling into a hard smooth surface, use a center punch
to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit
from slipping off center as the hole is started.
Hold the tool firmly and place the tip of the bit at the point to
be drilled.
Depress the switch trigger to start the tool.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side
pressure to elongate a hole.
Tungsten carbide drill bits should always be used for
concrete and masonry. When drilling in metal, only
use HSS drill bits in good condition. Always use a magnetic
bit holder when using short screwdriver bits. When screw-
driving, apply a small quantity of liquid soap or similar to the
screw threads to ease insertion.
10. DISPOSAL OF AN EXHAUSTED BATTERY PACK
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or
dispose of the battery pack properly. This battery pack
contains Lithium batteries. Consult your local waste
authority for information regarding available recycling and/

or disposal options. Discharge your battery pack
by operating your drill, then remove the battery
pack from the drill housing and cover the battery
pack connections with heavy-duty adhesive tape to
prevent short circuit and energy discharge. Do not
attempt to open or remove any of the components.
11. OVERLOAD PROTECTION
When overloaded, the motor comes to a stop.
Relieve the load on the machine immediately and
allow cooling for approx. 30 seconds at the highest
no-load speed.
12. TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT OVERLOAD
PROTECTION
When using as intended for the power tool cannot be
subject to overload. When the load is too high or the
allowable battery temperature of 75 °C is exceeded,
the electronic control switches off the power tool
until the temperature is in the optimum temperature
range again.
13. PROTECTION AGAINST DEEP DISCHARGING
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep
discharging by the “Discharging Protection System”.
When the battery is empty, the machine is switched
off by means of a protective circuit: The inserted tool
no longer rotates.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
1. WHY DOES THE DRILL NOT TURN ON WHEN
YOU PRESS THE SWITCH?
The forward/reverse rotation control, which is on
top of the trigger, is positioned in the lock function.
Unlock the forward/reverse rotation control by
putting it into the required rotation position. Push the
trigger and the drill will start to rotate.
2. THE DRILL STOPS BEFORE THE SCREW IS
COMPLETELY TIGHTENED. WHY?
Verify the torque position of the torque adjusting
ring, you can find the torque-adjusting ring between
the chuck and the drill body. Position 1 is the lowest
torque (screw driving force) and position 21 is the
highest torque (screw driving force). Position is for
drill operation. Regulate the torque adjusting ring to
a higher position to reach the best result.
3. REASONS FOR DIFFERENT BATTERY PACK
WORKING TIMES
Charging time problems, as above, and having not
used a battery pack for a prolonged time will reduce
the battery pack working time. This can be corrected
after several charge and discharge operations by
charging & working with your drill. Heavy working
conditions such as large screws into hard wood will
use up the battery pack energy faster than lighter
working conditions. Do not re-charge your battery
pack below 0oC and above 45oC as this will affect
performance.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the battery pack from the tool before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power
tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always
store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor
ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free
of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the
ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage
your power tool.
