General safety rules
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. ower 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) ower 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 the charger in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply with a max 30mA cut off limit. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) ersonal 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. rotective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) revent 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 dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) ower 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.
ower tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
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. roperly 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.
h) This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
i) Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
b) 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.
c) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
d) 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.
e) 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 Kogan customer support technicians.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your ower Tool is faulty or that a part is missing.
If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been
rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

Important information – Product care
These drill/drivers use Lithium Ion Battery Cells. Care MUST be taken to ensure both the safety and life of the
pack is maintained. Ensure you have read all of the safety notes in the previous pages before using the
drill/driver.
Safety devices and circuitry for this tool are located in the battery pack of this tool. The battery pack is a vital
component, not just for the power source, but also for the full safety control for both the charging and also the
tool operation. Treat the battery pack with care and within the guidelines of this manual. If the pack does
become immersed in water or any fluids, or is subject to a severe drop etc., or it does not operate within the
guidelines of this manual, immediately STO using the battery pack and have it checked.
During operation avoid overloading the drill/driver. If the drill driver is overloaded it will automatically STO .
Overloading may occur for a number of reasons including when the drill driver is pushed too hard or when
using a drill bit or attachment greater than what is specified. If you do overload the drill driver during operation
refer to the “Overload” section in this manual.
Note: When the battery of the drill is at the lower end of the charge, the drill is more susceptible to the
overload condition. As mentioned above the battery pack is an integral component of this tool and it is fitted
with thermal safety devices. Running the drill at close to maximum load, or continual resetting of the overload
will cause the battery pack to over heat. When a pre-set cell temperature is detected, the battery pack will
automatically STO operating and will not restart until the battery pack has cooled to a safe level.
In this condition, DO NOT force cool the pack by placing in a freezer or similar device. Refer to the “Overload”
section in this manual.
Another feature of the drill/battery pack is the low voltage cut out feature. This feature operates when the
voltage drops below a pre set value. When this occurs the tool will automatically stop operating. To correct the
situation you need to either insert another charged battery into the drill or recharge the existing battery, and
then proceed with the drilling/driving application.
Note: Attempting to restart the tool in this condition without either recharging the battery or installing a
battery with charge will lead to drill restarting and then stopping again after only a few seconds of operation.
These safety devices have been fitted for the safety, reliability and life of the tool.
Fitting and removing the battery pack
To remove the battery pack from the drill, firmly press the battery release button at the front of the battery
pack, and slide the battery forwards out of the tool.
To install the battery pack with the drill, align the battery pack with the drill base and insert firmly into place by
sliding the battery backwards into position.
Ensure the battery pack locks into position. You will hear a click.

Battery charging
IM ORTANT. Before attempting to charge the battery, check the charger and the battery to ensure the charging equipment
matches the battery supplied. The components are all labelled with component numbers.
IM ORTANT. The battery will be fully charged after 3-5 hours, remove it from the charger after this time. Do not
leave a battery charging for longer than 24 hours.
Note: It is suggested to remove the battery from the drill for the charging process. Do not attempt to use the drill while the
charger is connected to the battery.
1. To commence charging, plug in the adaptor from the plug pack charger (10) into the back of the battery and insert firmly
into place.
2. lug in the plug pack charger and switch on at the power supply. The green LED indicator located on the
back of the battery will indicate that the battery is being charged. The red light on the back of the battery indicates the
battery is connected to the turned on charger.
During the charging process the Red and the Green lights are on. When the battery is fully charged the red
light remains on while the green light turns off.
3. The battery charging time is approximately 3-5 hours.
4. When the battery is fully charged turn off the plug pack charger power supply from the mains and remove the charger
plug from the battery.
Both the battery pack and the charger may become warm to touch. This is also normal and not an issue of concern. Both the
battery pack and plug pack charger are fitted with thermal safety devices and they will shut down if the temperatures
become too high.
To obtain the best life for the battery
Never allow the drill to come to a complete stand still before recharging. The battery should be placed on
charge whenever the battery is noticeably running down or the drill no longer performs a task it previously
performed.
Avoid allowing loose items like screws or nails etc. to be stored with battery packs as these or similar items can
short battery packs and cause a fire or explosion.
Always unplug the plug pack charger when not in use and store in a dry secure place.
Avoid charging or storing your battery in temperatures below 0ºC and above 40ºC.
Battery indicator
ress the trigger switch fully so the motor is running at no load full speed, press the indicator button and refer
to the LED lights. The LED lights indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery.
2 peed gearbox
The 2 Speed Gearbox allows you to select a gear with the optimum speed and torque to suit the application.
Note. When changing the drill selector ensures the drill is not operating.
To select the LOW gear (low speed, high torque setting), push the gear selector backward, towards the back of
the drill. The symbol “I” will be displayed.
To select the HIGH gear (high speed, low torque setting), push the gear selector forward, towards the chuck.
The symbol “II” will be displayed.
Using the drill
Trigger switch
Use the forward/reverse switch to select the direction of rotation, then pull the trigger.
This trigger switch is an electronic variable speed control which enables the user to vary the speed
continuously. The speed varies according to how far the trigger switch is depressed. The further it is
depressed the faster the chuck will rotate and the lighter it is depressed, the slower it will rotate.
To stop the drill, release the trigger switch.
Note. The variable Speed control fitted to this drill is NOT intended to be used for long periods of time during
the operation of the task being performed. Use the variable speed to start drilling and screwing tasks, and then
fully depress the trigger once the task has started.
CAUTION. Extended use of the variable speed under load will overload and then permanently damage the
speed control.

Forward/reverse switch
Note. You can only change the direction of rotation of the drill using the forward/reverse switch when the
trigger is NOT depressed.
This switch will allow you to change the direction of the motor while the trigger switch is not depressed.
Drilling uses the forward mode.
The reverse mode is intended for the removal of screws and assisting to remove jammed drill bits.
Drill Overload
This drill is fitted with an overload protection. If the drill is excessively forced, or the task being performed is too
great for the drill, the drill will automatically go into an overload mode. When the drill goes into overload, the
drill will automatically and suddenly STO .
To reset the overload, simply release the trigger. When the trigger is pressed again, the drill will restart. Resume
work after the overload has been reset, but reduce the load by using a smaller drill bit or re-sharpen the
existing drill bit and reduce the amount of force placed on the drill.
CAUTION. Do not continue to overload the drill and constantly reset the overload. Doing this will cause the
battery cells to over heat.
Temperature Cut Out
If the drill is constantly overloaded, or the drill is used constantly at maximum rating in high ambient conditions,
the battery cells may over heat causing the battery pack to shut down.
When this occurs you will need to immediately stop drilling and allow the battery cells to reduce the
temperature.
To reduce the temperature of the cells remove the battery pack from the drill and place the battery pack in a
free air environment, out of direct sunlight or any other heat source.
DO NOT force cool the pack in any way. Do not place in refrigerators or freezers.
When the battery pack has cooled down it can again be used to operate the drill, as long as the load or the
conditions causing the original excessive temperature has been corrected.
Low voltage cut out
The battery pack used on this tool is fitted with a low voltage cut out feature within the circuitry.
The low voltage cut out feature operates when the voltage drops below a pre set value. This feature
automatically stops the drill from operating (similar to that of the over load condition). When this condition
occurs you will need to either insert another battery into the drill or recharge the existing battery.
The low voltage cut out feature has been added to maximise the tools life. When this occurs, recharge the
battery pack by following the battery charging section in this manual.
Note: Attempting to restart the tool without either recharging the battery or installing another battery (with
charge) will lead to drill restarting and then stopping again, after only a few seconds of operation.
Adjustable torque
These drills are equipped with 24 torque settings plus one drill setting which are controlled by the torque collar
(8). All of the torque settings are clearly identified on the torque collar.
To adjust the torque setting you rotate the torque collar. Rotate the torque collar clockwise to increase the
torque setting and rotate it anti-clockwise to decrease the torque setting.
Controlling the torque allows for better control when using the drill on specific tasks and prevents over-
fastening and over-tightening.
For drilling, always use the use the Drill position by aligning the Drill symbol with the triangular indicator on the
front face of the drill near the torque collar.
For setting the torque position, select a low setting on the torque collar and align the selected symbol with the
triangular indicator on the top of the drill. Increase gradually to set the correct torque. It is better to use a scrap
piece of material if possible to set the torque.

Inserting and removing bits
These drills have a keyless chuck, which means that a chuck key is not needed to secure a bit in the drill.
Open the chuck by holding the chuck collar and unscrewing the chuck in an anti-clockwise direction.
Do this sufficiently enough to allow the drill bit to enter the jaws of the chuck.
Ensure the bit is fully inserted, so that the chuck jaws grip the straight section of the bit.
While holding the chuck collar in place, rotate the chuck clock-wise until the jaws tighten on the bit. The chuck
needs to be tightened firmly to ensure the bit is held securely.
To remove the bit, hold the chuck collar while rotating the chuck sharply in an anti-clockwise direction,
sufficiently enough to allow the bit to be removed.
Drilling
Drilling metals
• Always clamp sheet metal.
• Support thin metal with a block of wood to avoid distorting it.
• Use a punch to mark the centre of the hole.
• Use a suitable lubricant for the material you are working on.
Use OIL when drilling into STEEL.
Use TUR ENTINE or ARAFFIN when drilling into ALUMINIUM
Do not lubricate Brass, copper or cast iron
Drilling plastics and plastic coated chipboard
• Use high speed drill bits
• See drilling wood below
Drilling wood
• Clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back of your work to prevent splintering.
All drilling operations
• Mark off the centre of the hole using a centre punch or nail.
• Don’t force the drill, let it work at its own pace
• Keep the drill bit sharp.
• Reduce pressure, as the drill is about to break through the item being drilled.
Chuck replacement
The chucks of reversible drills are always fixed by a screw with a left-hand thread. The screw, which is located in
the centre of the chuck, must be removed before the chuck can be removed. To remove the screw, turn it in a
clockwise direction. The chuck can now be removed by unscrewing it anti-clockwise. If you have trouble
removing the chuck take the drill to your nearest authorised tool service centre for chuck replacement.
CAUTION. Always ensure that the drill is switched off and the battery pack is removed before making any
adjustments.
