PRODUCT SAFETY
GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below 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 the 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
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 cannot 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

3

WX371.3 WX371.4 WX371.9
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, 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause
explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside
the temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6. SERVICE
a) 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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.

will be produced internally.
See Fig. F
LED LIGHT INDICATOR (See Fig. F)
To turn on the light, press the on/off switch and make
sure the forward/reverse rotation control is on right/
left position. When you release the on/off switch, the
light will be off.
LED lighting increases visibility-great for dark or
enclosed area. LED is also a battery capacity indicator.
It will flash when power gets low.
The tool and battery pack are equipped with a
protection system. When the LED Light is quickly
flashing and turn off, the system will automatically
cut off power to the tool to extend battery life.The
tool will automatically stop during operation if the
tool and/or battery pack are placed under one of the
following conditions:
• Overloaded: The tool is operated in a manner that
causes it to draw an abnormally high current. In this
situation, release theTrigger Switch on the tool and
stop the application that caused the tool to become
overloaded.Then pull theTrigger Switch again to
restart.
• Overheated: Under the condition above, if the
tool does not start, theTool and Battery Pack are
overheated. In this situation, let theTool and Battery
Pack cool before pulling theTrigger Switch again.
• Low battery voltage: The remaining Battery
capacity is too low and the tool will not operate. In
this situation, remove and recharge the Battery Pack.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
1. WHY DOES THE DRILL NOT TURN ON WHEN
YOU PRESS THE SWITCH?
The Forward and Reverse Switch, which is on top of
the trigger, is positioned in the lock function. Unlock
the Forward and Reverse Switch putting it into the
required rotation position. Push the trigger and the
drill will start to rotate (See Fig.B)
2. THE DRILL STOPS BEFORE THE SCREW IS
COMPLETELY TIGHTENED. WHY?
Verify the torque position of theTorque Adjustment
Ring, you can find theTorque Adjustment Ring
between the Chuck and the drill body. Position
1 is the lowest torque (screw driving force) and
position 18 is the highest torque (screw driving
force). Position is for drill operation. Position
is for hammer drill operation. Regulate theTorque
Adjustment Ring to a higher position to reach the
best result. (See Fig. E1, E2, E3)
3. I CAN NOT FIT THE BATTERY PACK INTO
THE BATTERY CHARGER. WHY?
The battery pack can be inserted into the charger
only in one direction.Turn the battery pack around
until it can be inserted into the slot.The charger LED
indicator should turn on when the battery pack is
charging.

4. REASONS FOR DIFFERENT BATTERY PACK
WORKING TIMES
Charging time problems, as above, and having not
used a Battery Pack for a prolonged time will reduce
the Battery Pack working time.This can be corrected
after several charge and discharge operations by
charging & working with your drill. Heavy working
conditions such as large screws into hard wood will
use up the Battery Pack energy faster than lighter
working conditions. Do not re-charge your Battery
Pack below 0oC and above 45oC as this will affect
performance.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the Battery Pack from the tool before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power
tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always
store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor
ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls
free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks
through the ventilation slots.This is normal and will
not damage your power tool.
The ambient temperature range for tool and
battery use and storage is 0℃-45℃.
The recommended ambient temperature range
for the charging system during charging is
0℃-40℃.
