WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
3

WORK AREA
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handles (if) supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
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.
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.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk
of electric shock.
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must
be recharged only with the specified 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.
Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of
any other batteries may create risk of fire.

PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
Prevent accidental starting. Ensure 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 energizing power tools that
have the switch “ON” invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool “ON”. A wrench or a key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dusk mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
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.
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.
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.
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.
5

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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting
battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
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.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
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.
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.
SERVICE
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.
Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

TORQUE SETTINGS
To prevent damaging the tool or driving screw too deep
into work piece, release the trigger when you feel the clutch slip.
THE CONTROL RING ADJUSTS THE LEVEL OF TORQUE:
• For light duty work, use lower settings.
• For heavy duty work, use higher settings.
PROPER SETTING FOR DRIVING
SCREWS:
1. Set the ring on the lowest
setting to begin.
2. Try tightening the first screw. If the
drill drives smoothly, proceed with
the next screw.
3. If the Drill’s clutch slips,
increase the torque setting
and try again until the Drill
drives the screw without incident.
SCREWDRIVING
WHEN DRIVING FASTENERS:
• Always start slowly and gradually increase the speed of the Drill.
• Release the trigger when you feel the clutch slip.
• Always keep the driver bit straight to prevent damage to the screw.
• Hold the Drill with both hands to ensure control if the bit should stick or slip.
• To prevent wood from splitting, drill pilot holes into the wood before driving
in the screws.
DRILLING METAL
WHEN DRILLING HARD METALS:
• Apply a lubricant, such as cutting oil, to the tip of the bit.
• Start with a small hole then enlarge to the required size. Make sure the bit is
actually cutting and not spinning in the hole as this will dull the edges of the bit.
• Keep enough pressure on the bit to keep it drilling through the material.
15
CONTROL RING

DRILLING MASONRY
WHEN DRILLING MASONRY:
• Masonry can be brittle so be careful not to apply too much pressure and crack the material.
• Apply enough pressure to keep the bit cutting and not spinning in the hole as this will dull
the edges of the bit.
• Bricks and similar soft materials will require less pressure, concrete will require much more.
DRILLING WOOD
Use twist bits to drill holes in wood. Make sure the bits are sharp. Pull the bits
out of the hole frequently to clear chips from the flutes as an overburdened bit
may overheat.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
DRILLING:
• Keep the right amount of pressure in a straight line with the drill bit. Too little and the bit will
spin without cutting, too much and the motor may stall.
• Just before the drill tip breaks though the other side of the work piece drill more slowly and
decrease pressure on the tool. This will prevent stalling and leave a cleaner hole.
• Use a block of wood to back up work pieces that may splinter.
• Use spade bits when drilling large diameter holes in wood.
• Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.
• Use masonry bits when drilling in soft masonry.
• Use a lubricant when drilling metals other than cast iron, aluminum, copper, and brass.
• When drilling, start the hole slowly, allowing the bit to drill deep enough to prevent slipping
at higher speeds.
• Never try to start a stalled Drill by clicking the trigger switch “ON” and “OFF”. This may
damage your tool.
• To reduce jamming, always keep the Drill running when pulling the bit out of a finished hole.
SCREWDRIVING:
• Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
• If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small amount of washing liquid or soap as a
lubricant.
• Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line with the screw.
16

ship the unit. We suggest the package be insured against loss or in transit damage. When
sending your product include your name, address, phone number, dated proof of purchase (or
copy), and a statement about the nature of problem. Warranty coverage is conditioned upon
purchaser furnishing Alltrade with adequate written proof that they are the original purchaser
and of the original purchase date. Parts returned, freight prepaid and insured, to Alltrade’s facil-
ity (see above address) will be inspected and, at Alltrade’s option, repaired and/or replaced free
of charge if found to be defective and subject to warranty. Alltrade retains the sole discretion to
determine whether any item or part is nonconforming and, if so, whether the item and/or part
will be repaired and/or replaced. If the unit is repaired, new or reconditioned replacement parts
may be used. If Alltrade chooses to replace the product, it may replace it with a new or recon-
ditioned one of the same or comparable design. The repaired or replaced unit will be warranted
under the terms of the remainder of the warranty period. Typically, a defective product that is
returned within the first 30 days after the purchase date will be replaced; for items returned after
the first 30 days and within the warranty period, covered defective parts not subject to normal
wear and tear or other exclusions will be repaired or replaced, at Alltrade’s option. During the
warranty period, Alltrade will be responsible for the return shipping charges. Alltrade’s repair
and/or replacement of any nonconforming item and/or part thereof shall constitute fulfillment
of all obligations to the purchaser. Alltrade shall not be responsible or liable for any expense,
including freight charges, or repairs made outside Alltrade’s facility, unless expressly agreed
to by Alltrade in writing. Under no circumstances shall Alltrade bear any responsibility for loss
of the unit, loss of time or rental, inconvenience, commercial loss or consequential damages.
Exclusions
This warranty does not cover parts damaged due to normal wear, abnormal conditions, misap-
plication, misuse, abuse, accidents, operation at other than recommended pressures or tem-
peratures, improper storage or freight damage. Parts damaged or worn by operation in dusty
environments are not warranted. Failure to follow recommended operating and maintenance
procedures also voids warranty.
This limited warranty does not apply to accessory items such as drill bits, screwdriving bits,
circular saw blades, jigsaw blades, grinding wheels, sanding sheets and other related items.
