ELECTRICAL SAFETY (cont.)
!
!
• Never attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed 40ºC (such as outside sheds or metal buildings
in summer).
• The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (240 volts).
Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage!
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the safety
instructions and then follow the charging notes and procedures.
• The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is
charged when the air temperature is between 18 - 24ºC. Do not charge the
battery pack in an air temperature below 10ºC or above 40ºC. This is important
and will prevent damage to the battery pack.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or is completely
worn out. The battery can explode in a fire.
• Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the
battery pack breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
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 all of 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 and 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.
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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools
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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
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) 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.
b) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Over Charging Protection
This feature ensures that the battery is never overcharged. When the battery has
reached it’s full charge capacity the charger will shut off protecting the internal
components of the battery from being damaged.
Over Discharge Protection
An internal component of the battery pack is an over discharge protector. This feature
will stop the battery from discharging beyond the recommended lowest safety voltage.
Over Heat Protection
The battery has an internal Thermister cut off sensor which will cease the charging
cycle if the battery becomes hot during the charging process. This Thermister sensor
will also stop the battery from operating should the battery become too hot during
the operation of the tool. This can happen when the tool is overloaded or being used
for extended periods of time .
Up to 30min in cooling time may be required depending on ambient temperature and
operation being performed.
Over Current Protection
Should the battery be overloaded and the maximum current draw be exceeded the
battery will temporarily stop working to protect the internal components. The battery
will resume to normal operation once the excessive current draw has returned to
normal safe level. This may take a few seconds.
Short Circuit Protection
If the battery pack was to short circuit the short circuit protector would immediately
stop the battery pack from operating.
This will ensure that no further internal components of the battery or the tools are
damaged.

The drill has been shipped in a low charge condition, and
requires charging prior to use.
• Insert the charging adaptor (9) into the charging cradle (10)
(see Fig. 1). Plug the charger adaptor (9) into a 240V power
outlet. Ensure that the charging cradle (10) is on a flat surface.
• Insert the battery (5) into the charging cradle (10). The
recess of the battery terminals will have a firm connection.
Upon proper contact the red and green light will illuminate
on the charging cradle (11).
• The battery (5) will take 3 – 5 hours to charge. Charging
starts automatically. Remove the battery (5) from the
charger after 5 hours.
NOTE: If light on the charging cradle (10) fails to come on.
• Check the charging adaptor (9) is securely plugged into the wall outlet and is
switched on.
• Check the battery (5) is firmly seated onto the charging cradle (10).
• Check the charging jack (11) is securely connected into the charging cradle (10) socket.
Initial Charge
• When the unit is on charge the red and green light will be on display.
• The green light will appear only when the battery is fully charged.
•Charge your battery for 3 – 5 hours then use it until it runs down and only
slowly operates.
• Repeat this charge and discharge process approximately 4-5 times, this will
ensure that the battery is performing to its highest capacity.
Important Charging Notes
•The charger and battery (5) may become warm to touch while charging. This is
a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem.
• Use the charger at normal room temperature whenever possible. To prevent
overheating, do not cover the charger and do not charge the battery (5) in
direct sunlight or near heat sources.
•If the battery (5) does not charge properly:-
1. Check current at power outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
2. If charging problems persist, have the complete drill checked by an
electrician or a power tool repairer.
NOTE: If battery is flat and displays green charged LED, refer to Thermal voltage
protection note below cooling maybe required.
Thermal voltage protection indication
In the event that the thermal or voltage protection circuit has been activated the
battery will cease to operate. This can happen when the tool has been used for
extended periods or worked hard with large drill bits or accessories.
If you place the battery on the charger the LED lights will give you the appearance that
the battery is fully charged. Leave the battery on the charger to charge for 3-5 hours.
The battery may take the full 5 hours to charge as the battery may need to cool
down or the protection circuit to be reset. This will then allow the charger to begin
charging the battery and resume normal operation.
CHARGING YOUR LITHIUM ION BATTERY
Fig. 1

Always switch off the drill before insertion or removal of the battery (5).
Installing the Battery
• Holding the drill upright and picking up the battery (5) in your
opposite hand. Place two fingers over the battery release
buttons (6) and insert the battery (5) until it clicks into place
(See Fig. 2).
•Do not use excessive force when inserting the battery (5). If
the battery (5) does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted
correctly. It is also possible that there could be damage to the
battery (5), battery terminals or the drill.
Removing the Battery
Depress both the battery release buttons (6) and gently pull the battery (5) out of
the drill.
Battery
The length of service from each charging cycle will depend on the type of work you
are doing. The battery (5) in this drill have been designed to provide maximum trouble
free life.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
•Store and charge your battery (5) in a cool area. Temperatures above or below
normal room temperature will shorten battery life.
• Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately after
they are discharged.
•All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the quicker
they lose their charge. If you store your drill for long periods of time without using
it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong
battery life.

Variable Speed Switch
Turn the drill ON by depressing the variable speed
switch (7) .
To turn the drill OFF release the variable speed switch (7)
(See Fig. 3).
The speed can be varied from 0 to maximum in either
gear, depending on the pressure applied to the variable
speed switch (8). This way you can select the best possible speed for the job required.
Changing the Direction of Rotation
The direction of rotation can be changed with the
forward/reverse selector (4). This is located above the
variable speed switch (7) (see Fig. 4).
To select the forward drilling position, push the
forward/reverse selector (4) hard left. To select the reverse
drilling position, push the forward/reverse selector (4)
hard right.
The variable speed switch (7) can be locked off by pushing the forward/reverse
selector (4) into the middle of both the forward and reverse positions.
Do not change the direction of rotation while the keyless chuck (1) is in motion.
Speed Control
The drill has a 2 speed gearbox. The speed selector (3) is
located on the top of the drill (see Fig. 5). First gear has a
range of 0-350/min. Second gear has a range of 0-
1150/min.
Torque Settings (Tightening power of your 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 pieces, etc.
In general, power and torque should correspond to the difficulty of the screw to be
driven. If torque is too high, the screws can be damaged or broken.

To Adjust Torque
• Locate the arrow on the front of the drill housing (see Fig. 6).
• Identify the torque settings and 1 drill setting on the torque
adjustment collar (2).
• Rotate the torque adjustment collar (2) to the desired setting,
aligning the required number on the torque adjustment collar
(2) with the arrow on the drill housing.
• To increase or decrease torque, rotate the torque adjustment
collar (2). The lower the number, the lower the torque 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.
The torque setting required to drive screws will differ with different materials. Start with
the torque setting on the number you think is appropriate (Eg: 4) and simply increase
the torque adjustment collar to a higher number if the screw head is not sitting flush
with your workpiece. Remove the screw after adjusting and re-drive the screw back into
the workpiece until the correct torque adjustment leaves the screw head flush with
your workpiece.
Keyless Chuck
A keyless chuck (1) is included on your drill to allow for
easy installation and removal of bits/accessories.
To open and close the keyless chuck (1), rotate the chuck
body with your other hand (see Fig. 7).
The arrows on the chuck indicate in which direction to
rotate the chuck body in order to GRIP (tighten) or
RELEASE (unlock) the drill bit.
Warning! Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use power of the
drill to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws. The chuck body could slip and your
hand could come in contact with a rotating accessory. This could cause an
accident resulting in personal injury.
Installing Drill or Driver Bits
•Remove the battery (5) from the drill.
•Open or close the keyless chuck (1) to a point where
the opening is slightly larger than the drill or driver bit
you intend to use.
• Insert the drill or driver bit into the keyless chuck (1),
ensuring the end of the drill or driver bit does not
touch the screw inside the keyless chuck (1).
• Tighten the keyless chuck (1) onto the drill or driver bit as described above
(See Fig. 8).

Removing Drill/Driver Bits
• Remove the battery (5) from the drill.
• Loosen the keyless chuck (1) as described previously.
• Remove the drill or driver bit from the keyless chuck (1).
Note: Do not handle drill bits without gloves as drill bits and other accessories are
sharp or can be hot after use, this can cause personal injury.
General Hints for Drilling in all Materials
• Always use sharp drill bits.
• Mark the place where you would like the hole to be drilled.
• Commence with a slow speed to start the hole (see section "Speed Control"
for directions on how to do this).
• Reduce your pressure on the drill when the drill bit is about to break through
the material.
Metal Drilling
•Support thin material with a piece of scrap wood.
• Use a centre punch to mark the position of the hole.
• If drilling a large hole, use a small size drill bit first to establish a pilot hole then
use the required large size drill bit.
• Use only HSS (high speed steel) drill bits or those recommended for metal use.
• When drilling into iron or steel, use a cooling lubricant such as thin oil. With
aluminium, use turpentine or paraffin. With brass, copper and cast iron, use no
lubricant but withdraw the drill regularly to assist cooling.
Wood Drilling
•Mark the place where you want to drill with a punch or a nail.
• To avoid splintering on breakthrough, either clamp a piece of scrap wood to
the back of your workpiece or continue the hole from the back of the wood
when the drill bit first breaks through.
LED Lights
• The drill has 1 LED Light (8) built into the unit.
The LED light is located above the variable
speed switch (see Fig. 9).
• The LED light (8) turns on automatically when
you depress the variable speed switch (7).
• The LED light illuminates dark areas in tight
corners to assist with drilling and screw driving.
This helps achieve a more accurate result in your
workpiece.
