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 the 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.
■ 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 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 in 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
collectiomn 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.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
■ Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
bindling 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.

BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
Ryobi 18 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with
features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximise
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.

OPERATION
TO INSTALL BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2.
■ Place the direction of rotation selector in the center
position.
■ Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
■ Make sure the latches on each side of the battery
pack snap in place and that battery pack is secured in
the product before beginning operation.
TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK
■ Depress the latches on each side of the battery pack.
■ Remove the battery pack from the drill.
WARNING
Battery products are always in operating
condition. Therefore, the switch should always
be locked when not in use or carrying at your

CAUTION
The metal surface may become hot during use.
Avoid contact with it to avoid possible burn injury.
TRIGGER SWITCH
See Figure 3.
To turn the drill ON, depress the trigger switch. To turn it
OFF, release the trigger switch.
VARIABLE SPEED
The variable speed trigger switch delivers higher speed
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.
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 trigger switch. With the
drill held in normal operating position, the direction of
rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the
trigger switch for forward drilling. The drilling direction is
reversed when the selector is to the right of the trigger
switch.
Setting the trigger switch 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, release trigger switch and allow the coupler to
come to a complete stop.
BUILT-IN COUPLER
See Figure 4.
The tool has a built-in coupler. The coupler has been
designed to accept 6.35 mm hex bits.

be hidden wiring behind the surface. Contact
with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts
of the tool “live” and shock the operator. If you
must drive a screw where hidden wire may be
present, always hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces (handle) when performing the operation
to prevent a shock to the operator, as seen in
figure 5.
CAUTION:
The impact driver is not designed to be used as
a drill.
