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 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.
nIf 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 dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
■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 or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
■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.

OPERATION
DIRECTION OF ROTATION 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 normal operating position, the direction of
rotation 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.
CAUTION:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck
to come to a complete stop before changing the
direction of rotation.
To stop the drill, release the switch trigger and allow the
chuck to come to a complete stop.
NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage
may cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs,
cool the drill by running it without a load and at full speed.
KEYLESS CHUCK
See Figure 4.
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill
bits in the chuck jaws. The arrows on the chuck indicate
which direction to rotate the chuck body in order to LOCK
(tighten) or UNLOCK (release) the drill bit.
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.
INSTALLING BITS
See Figures 4 - 5.
■Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of
rotation selector in the center position.
■Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the
opening is slightly larger than the bit size you intend
to use. Also, raise the front of the drill slightly to keep
the bit from falling out of the chuck jaws.
■Insert the drill bit.
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 9. This could cause the drill bit to be
thrown from the drill, resulting in possible serious
personal injury or damage to the chuck.
■Tighten the chuck jaws securely on the bit.
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the
arrow marked LOCK to close the chuck jaws. Do not
use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
REMOVING BITS
See Figure 4.
■Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of
rotation selector in the center position.
■Open the chuck jaws.
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the
arrow marked UNLOCK to open the chuck jaws. Do
not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
■Remove the drill bit.
ADJUSTABLE TORQUE CLUTCH
This product is equipped with an adjustable torque
clutch for driving different types of screws into different
materials. The proper setting depends on the type of
material and the size of screw you are using.
ADJUSTING TORQUE
See Figure 6.
There are twenty-four torque indicator settings located on
the front of the drill.
■Rotate the adjusting ring to the desired setting.
• 1 - 4 For driving small screws
• 5 - 8 For driving screws into soft material
• 9 - 12 For driving screws into soft and hard
materials
• 13 - 16 For driving screws into hard wood
• 17 - 20 For driving large screws
• 21- For heavy drilling
AUTOSHIFT™
See Figure 6.
During drilling, if the load increases so that more torque
is required, the drill automatically shifts from high speed
to low speed.
9611067192-01.indd 49611067192-01.indd 4 5/29/09 11:25:49 AM5/29/09 11:25:49 AM

English
OPERATION
The green “SPEED” LED will light when the switch trigger
is depressed.
The blue “POWER” LED indicates that more torque is
required and the drill has automatically shifted into low
speed.
The variable speed switch trigger should be used to
control speed.
DRILLING
See Figure 7.
■Check the position of 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, 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.
■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.
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.
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.
■When drilling large holes in wood with a spade bit,
the Max admitted bit size is 38mm.
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:
• Overheat the drill;
• Wear the bearings;
• Bend or burn bits; and
• Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes.
■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.
