SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
Warning! A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery
pack must be recharged only with the specific charger for the battery. A charger
that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery.
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the switch is in the locked OFF position
before inserting the battery pack. Carrying a tool with your finger on the switch
or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the tool or place the switch in the locked
OFF position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
• When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool
OFF, in an emergency, before operating the tool. Save these instructions and other
documents supplied with this machine for future reference.
1. Keep work areas clean. Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.
2. Consider work area environment. Do not expose your tool to high humidity
or rain. Do not use your tool in damp and wet conditions. Keep the work area
well lit. Do not use your tool where there is a risk of causing fire or explosion,
e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids and gases.
3. Keep children away. Do not allow children, visitors or animals to come near
the work area or to touch the tool or power lead.
4. Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be
caught in moving parts. Preferably wear non-slip footwear when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to keep long hair out of the way.

• 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 - 24º C. Do not charge the
battery pack in an air temperature below 10º C or above 40º C. 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.

CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
This tool has been shipped in a low charge condition. You should charge it prior
to use.
• Plug the 240V charger adaptor into an appropriate AC power outlet and switch
on. The red light will illuminate.
• With the battery sitting flat on a bench/table, slide the charging cradle into the
recess of the battery terminals ensuring a firm connection. Upon proper
contact, the green light will illuminate.
• The batteries will take 5-7 hours to charge. This may vary up to 9 hours due to
the level of charge left in the batteries and also the ambient temperature.
Caution: Charger does not automatically turn off when the battery is fully charged.
Please take care not to leave the tool on the charger for excessive periods of time.
Switch off the charger at mains when charging is complete.
NOTE: If light on the charging stand fails to come on.
• Check the adaptor is securely plugged into the wall outlet and is switched on.
• Check battery is firmly seated into the charging stand.
Initial Charge
• Charge your battery for 8-12 hours then use it until it runs down and only
slowly operates the tool.
• Replace your battery pack into the charger and recharge for 8-12 hours again.
•Once again run your tool until only a small amount of charge remains.
• Repeat the above cycle about 4 or 5 times, this should set the battery
“memory”, then charge as earlier stated.
Important Charging Notes
• The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This
is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem.
• Use the charger at normal room temperatures whenever possible. To prevent
overheating, do not cover the charger and do not charge the battery pack in
direct sunlight or near heat sources.
• If the battery pack 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 tool checked by an
electrician or a power tool repairer.
Battery
The length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work you are
doing. The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide maximum trouble
free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
• Store and charge your batteries 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.

9
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 speed can be varied from 0 to maximum, depending on the pressure applied to
the switch. This way you can select the best possible speed for the job being done.
Changing the Direction of Rotation
The direction of rotation can be changed with the forward/reverse slide lever above
the switch.
To select the forward drilling position, push the slide lever hard left. To select the
reverse drilling position, push the slide lever hard right.
The switch can be locked off by pushing the forward / reverse slide lever 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 ring.
• Rotate the adjustment ring to the desired setting aligning the number on the
adjustment ring with the arrow on the housing.
• To increase or decrease torque, rotate torque adjustment ring. 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.
TOOL OPERATION

TOOL OPERATION (cont.)
Keyless Chuck
A keyless chuck has been provided with your drill to allow for easy installation and
removal of bits. The chuck is divided into two parts, the rear is called the collar and
the front is the body. To open and close the chuck; grasp and hold the collar of the
chuck with one hand, rotate the chuck body with your other hand. The arrows on
the chuck indicate 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/Driver Bits
• Remove battery from the drill.
• Open or close the chuck to a point where the opening is slightly larger than the
drill bit you intend to use.
• Insert the drill bit into the chuck ensuring the end of the drill bit does not touch
the screw inside the chuck.
• Tighten the chuck onto the drill bit as described above (Keyless Chuck).
Removing Drill/Driver Bits
• Remove the battery from the drill.
• Loosen the chuck as described above (Keyless Chuck).
• Remove the drill bit from the chuck.
Note: Do not handle drill bits without gloves as drill bits and other accessories are
sharp and can cause a 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 rotation speed to start the hole.
• Reduce your pressure on the tool when the drill bit is about to break through
the material.
Metal Drilling
• Support thin material with a wooden plate.
•Use a punch to mark the position of the hole.
• If drilling a large hole use a small drill at 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.

TOOL OPERATION (cont.)
• 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 nail.
• To avoid splintering on breakthrough either clamp a piece of scrap wood to the
back of the wood or continue the hole from the back of the wood when the drill
bit first breaks through.
• When not in use the drill should be stored in a dry, frost free location not within
the reach of children.
• Keep ventilation slots of the drill clean at all times and prevent any foreign matter
from entering.
• If the housing of the drill requires cleaning do not use solvents but a moist soft
cloth only.
• Blow out the ventilation slots with compressed air periodically .
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused by
repair of the sander by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the tool.
