GENERALSAFETYRULES
WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
personalinjury.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or OFF position before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
2.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
3.
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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
4.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools
with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
5.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
6.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Acces-
sories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

ADJUSTING TORQUE COLLAR
The clutch unit provides twenty clutch settings plus a “Drill” (solid-lockup) setting. Lowest torque
is available at setting #I, with maximum torque available at the “Drill” setting. The amount of output
torque may be adjusted by rotating the front collar (A) Fig. 3, so that the desired torque setting is
aligned with the index mark (B) Fig. 3. In general, lower torque settings are used for driving small
screws and other delicate work, while higher torque settings are used for driving larger screws. The
“Drill” position is used for drilling and for driving very large screws.
TWO-SPEED GEAR SHIFT
TheCordlessDriver/Drillhasatwo-speedgearshift.Tochangespeedranges:releasetriggerswitch
to stop motor and then slide speed selector (A) Fig. 4, toward rear for HIGH speed or toward front
forLOWspeed.
The low speed position is normally used when drilling larger holes and when driving or removing
screws. The high speed position is normally used for drilling small holes.
OPERATION
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK GENERAL
Before using your Cordless Driver/Drill for the first time, the battery pack should be fully charged.
If the battery pack is installed in the Driver/Drill, remove it by following instructions under
INSTALLING OR REMOVING BATTERY PACK.
As a battery pack approaches the discharged state, you will notice a sharp drop in tool performance.
When the tool is unable to perform the task at hand, it is time to recharge the battery pack.
Recharging the battery pack before this condition is reached will reduce the total work life of the
pack. Discharging the pack beyond this point can damage the pack.
NOTE: Battery temperature will increase during and shortly after use. Batteries may not
accept a full charge if they are charged immediately after use. Allow the battery pack to cool
to room temperature before charging for best results,
The battery charger may rest on the four pads provided on the bottom of the case or be mounted
on a wall by utilizing the two key hole slots provided.
CAUTION: Vent slots in top and bottom of charger must not be obstructed. Do not charge
battery when temperature is BELOW 0°C or ABOVE 40°C.
NORMAL CHARGING
Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the charger specification plate.
Connect charger to power source. The green light (A) Fig. 5, should begin to flash. This indicates
thecharger is ready tobegin charging.

Position the battery pack to the charger, aligning the tongue on the battery pack with the slot in the
charger.Insertbatterypackintocharger(seeFig.5).DONOTFORCE.Ifbatterypackdoesnotslide
ineasily, it isbeing inserted incorrectly:Realign batterypack tongue withcharger slot andtry again.
The green light (A) Fig. 5, should begin to glow continuously, indicating that the battery pack is
receiving a “Fast Charge” (if the green light does not glow continuously, or if the red light (B)
Fig. 5, also begins to flash: see DIAGNOSTICS). After approximately one hour, the “Fast Charge”
indicator light should go out indicating that the battery pack is fully charged and that the charger is
nowina“Trickle Charge” mode.The battery packcan be lefton “TrickleCharge” until youare ready
to use it.
Dependingonroom temperature, linevoltage,and existing chargelevel, initial batterychargingmay
takelongerthanonehour.
Disconnect charger from power source when not in use.
DIAGNOSTICS
The FLEX Charger is equipped with a diagnostic system that automatically checks the battery pack
each time a pack is inserted into the charger. If no problems are found, the charger will auto-
maticallyswitchto“FastCharge”modeasdescribedinNORMALCHARGING.Ifaproblemisfound,
it will be indicated by the charger indicator lights (see Fig. 5) as follows:
l Green light (A) continues to flash after battery pack is inserted in charger: indicates that the
battery pack temperature is either too high or too low for charging. If left alone, the charger will
continue to monitor the battery pack temperature and will begin charging when the temperature
reaches an acceptable level.
l Green light (A) glows continuously and red light (B) flashes: indicates that the battery pack is
receiving a “Fast Charge”, but the pack is weak and will provide reduced performance (the pack
is still useable, but will not provide maximum power or work per charge). This battery pack will
probably require replacement in the near future.
l Green light (A) continues to flash and red light (B) flashes: indicates that the battery pack has
failed (pack is not chargeable and requires replacement).
INSTALLING OR REMOVING BATTERY PACK
TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK: Depress the two battery release buttons (A) Fig. 6, (one button on
each side of battery pack) and pull battery pack out of tool.
TOINSTALL BATTERY PACK:Align battery packwith openingin tool handleand push batterypack
into handle until it locks in place.
MAINTENANCE
KEEP TOOL CLEAN
