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.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b. 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.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. 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.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. 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.
g. 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.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. 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.

e. 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.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. 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.
5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a. 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.
b. Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c. 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.
d. 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.

BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
Ryobi 18 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with
features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize
battery life. Under some operating conditions, these
built-in features may cause the battery and the tool it is
powering to act differently from nickel-cadmium batteries.
During some applications, the battery electronics may
signal the battery to shut down, and cause the tool to
stop running. To reset the battery and tool, release the
trigger and resume normal operation.
NOTE:To prevent further shut down of the battery, avoid
forcing the tool.
If releasing the trigger does not reset the battery and
tool, the battery pack is depleted. If depleted, the battery
pack will begin charging when placed on the lithium-ion
charger.

Battery products are always in operating
condition. Therefore, the switch should always
be locked when not in use or when carried 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.
VARIABLE SPEED
The switch trigger delivers higher speed and torque
with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with
decreased trigger pressure.
NOTE: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from
the switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a
normal part of the switch function.
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 rotation
selector should be positioned to the left of the switch
trigger for drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when
the selector is to the right of the switch trigger.
Setting the rotation selector 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 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 3.
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill
bits in the chuck jaws. 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 LOCK
(tighten) or UNLOCK (release) the drill bit.
WARNING:
Do not hold the chuck body 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.
TWO-SPEED GEAR SWITCH
See Figure 4.
The drill has a two-speed gear switch designed for
drilling or driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide
switch is located on top of the drill to select either LO
(1) or HI (2) speed. When using drill in the LO (1) speed
range, speed will decrease and unit will have more
power and torque. When using drill in the HI (2) speed
range, speed will increase and unit will have less power
and torque. Use LO (1) speed for high power and torque
applications and HI (2) speed for fast drilling or driving
applications.
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 5.)
There are twenty-four torque indicator settings located
on the front of the drill.
■Rotate adjustment 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 in hard wood
• 17 - 20 For driving large screws
• 21 - For heavy drilling
INSTALLING BITS (See Figure 6-7.)
■Lock the switch trigger by placing the 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.

English
■Insert the drill bit.
■Tighten the chuck jaws on the drill bit. To tighten,
grasp and hold the collar of the chuck with one hand,
while rotating the chuck body with your other hand.
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the
arrow marked LOCK to tighten the chuck jaws.
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 7. This could cause the drill bit to be
thrown from the drill, resulting in possible serious
personal injury or damage to the chuck.
NOTE: Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the
chuck jaws.
REMOVING BITS
See Figure 6.
■Place the rotation selector in center position. This will
lock the switch trigger in the off position.
■Loosen the chuck jaws from the drill bit.
■To loosen the chuck jaws from the drill bit, grasp
and hold the collar of the chuck with one hand, while
rotating chuck body with your other hand.
NOTE: Rotate chuck body in the direction of the arrow
marked UNLOCK to loosen chuck jaws.
■Remove drill bit from chuck jaws.
DRILLING
See Figure 8.
A level is located on top of the motor housing to help
keep the drill bit level during use.
■Check 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 bit breakthrough.
When these situations occur, the drill has a
tendency to grab and kick in the opposite
direction 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.
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;
• 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.
