GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
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.
WORK AREA SAFETY
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 dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earth (bounded)
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 the 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 residual current device
(rcd) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
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.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce the chance of
serious personal injury.
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.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
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.
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 can
not 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 to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
2
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.
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 intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
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 the 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, seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.

•5 - 8
•9 - 12
•13 - 16
For driving small screws
For driving screws into soft material
For driving screws into soft and hard
materials
For driving screws into hard wood
6
When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a
center punch to mark the desired hole location.
This will prevent the drill bit from slipping
off-center as the hole is started.
When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit
to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong
the life of the bit and increase the drilling action.
If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill
stalls, stop the tool immediately. Remove the bit
from the workpiece and determine the reason for
jamming.
WOOD DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel
bits for wood drilling.
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the
bit from slipping off the starting point. Increase
the speed as the drill bit bites into the material.
When drilling through holes, place a block of
wood behind the workpiece to prevent ragged or
splintered edges on the back side of the hole.
METAL DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel
bits for metal or steel drilling.
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the
bit from slipping off the starting point.
Maintain a speed and pressure which allows
cutting without overheating the bit. Applying too
much pressure will:
When drilling large holes in metal, start with a
small bit, then finish with a larger bit. Also,
lubricate the bit with oil to improve drilling action
and increase bit life.
•Overheat the drill;
•Wear the bearings;
•Bend or burn bits; and
•Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes.
WARNING
Battery products are always in operating
condition. Therefore, the switch should
always be locked when not in use or
carrying at your side.
SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 3.
To turn the drill ON, depress the switch trigger. To
turn it OFF, release the switch trigger.
FOWARD/REVERSE SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 3.
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is
controlled by a selector located above the switch
trigger. With the drill held in a normal operating
position, the forward/reverse selector should be
positioned to the left of the switch trigger for
forward drilling. The drilling direction is reversed
when the selector is to the right of the switch
trigger.
Setting the switch trigger in the OFF (center lock)
position helps reduce the possibility of accidental
starting when not in use.
WARNING
Do not hold the chuck with one hand and
use the power of the drill to tighten the
chuck jaws on the drill bit. The chuck body
could slip in your hand, or your hand could
slip and come in contact with the rotating
drill bit. This could cause an accident
resulting in serious personal injury.
WARNING
Make sure to insert the drill bit straight into
the chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill bit
into the chuck jaws at an angle then tighten,
as shown in figure 5. This could cause the
drill bit to be thrown from the drill, resulting
in possible serious personal injury or
damage to the chuck.
OPERATION OPERATION
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of
the arrow marked GRIP to close the chuck jaws.
Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the
chuck jaws.
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of
the arrow marked RELEASE to open the chuck
jaws. Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the
chuck jaws.
DRILLING
See Figure 6.
Check the position of the rotation selector for the
correct setting (forward or Reverse).
Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit
rotates.
Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point
to be drilled.
Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying
only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do
not force the drill or apply side pressure to
elongate a hole. Let the tool do the work.
WARNING
Be prepared for binding at the bit
breakthrough. When these situations occur,
the drill has a tendency to grab and kick
opposite to the direction of rotation and
could cause loss of control when breaking
through material. If not prepared, this loss of
control can result in possible serious injury.
NOTE: This drill has an electric brake. When the
switch trigger is released, the chuck stops turning.
When the brake is functioning properly, sparks will
be visible through the vent slots on the housing.
This is normal and is the action of the brake.
