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 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

3
WX160 WX163
Lithium-Ion
cordless drill/driver
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 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 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.
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.
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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction
book carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for driving in and loosening
screws as well as for drilling in wood, metal and
plastic.
BEFORE PUTTING INTO OPERATION
A) CHARGING THE BATTERY
The battery charger supplied is matched to the Li-Ion
battery installed in the machine. Do not use another
battery charger.
The Li-Ion battery is protected against deep
discharging. When the battery is empty, the machine is
switched off by means of a protective circuit: The tool
holder no longer rotates.
In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery
pack may become too hot to permit charging. Allow
time for the battery to cool down before recharging.
When the battery pack is charged for the first time and
after prolonged storage, the battery pack will accept a
100% charge after several charge and discharge cycles.
B) TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK
(See Fig. A)
Depress the battery pack release button to release
and slide the battery pack out from your tool. After
recharge, slide it back into your tool. A simple push
and slight pressure will be sufficient.
OPERATION
1. ON / OFF SWITCH (See Fig. B)
Depress the On/Off switch to start and release it to
stop your drill. The on/off switch is fitted with a brake
function which stops your chuck immediately when
you quickly release the switch.
It is also a variable speed switch that delivers higher
speed and torque with increased trigger pressure.
Speed is controlled by the amount of switch trigger
depression.
WARNING: Do not operate for long periods
at low speed because excess heat will be
produced internally.
2. SWITCH LOCK
The switch trigger can be locked in the OFF position.
This helps to reduce the possibility of accidental
starting when not in use. To lock the switch trigger,
FC1A
B C2 G

place the rotation control in the center position.
3. REVERSIBLE (See Fig. C1, C2)
For drilling and screw driving use forward rotation
marked “ ” (lever is moved to the left). Only use
reverse rotation marked
“ ” (lever is moved to the right) to remove screws
or release a jammed drill bit.
WARNING: Never change the direction of
rotation when the chuck is rotating, wait
until it has stopped!
4. TWO-SPEED GEAR CONTROL
(See Fig. D)
The drill has a two-speed gear control designed for
drilling or driving at LO (mark is 1) or HI (mark is 2)
speeds. A slide switch is located on top of the drill to
select either LO or HI speed. When using the drill in the
LO speed range, the speed will decrease and the drill
will have greater power and torque. When using the
drill in the HI speed range, the speed will increase and
the drill will have less power and torque.
Gear I
Low speed range: for screwdriving or working with
large drilling diameter
Gear II
High speed range: for working with small drilling
diameter
WARNING: To prevent gear damage,
always allow the chuck to come to a
complete stop before changing the direction of
rotation or the two-speed gear control.
5. CHUCK ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. E)
To open the chuck jaws rotate the front section of
the chuck. Insert the drill bit between the chuck jaws
and rotate the front section in the opposite direction.
Ensure the drill bit is in the center of the chuck jaws.
Finally, firmly rotate the front chuck section in the
opposite directions. Your drill bit is now clamped in the
chuck.

6. TORQUE ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. F)
(Screw driving force of your drill driver)
The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque
adjustment ring. The torque is greater when the torque
adjustment ring is set on a higher setting. The torque
is less when the torque adjustment ring is set on a
lower setting.
Make the setting as follows:
1 - 4 for driving small screws
5 - 9 for driving screws into soft mate-
rial
10 - 14 for driving screws into soft and
hard material
15 - 19 for driving screws into hard wood
20 - 23 for driving larger screws
for heavy drilling
7. AUTOMATIC SPINDLE LOCK
(See Fig. G)
The automatic spindle lock allows you to use it as
a regular screwdriver. You can give an extra twist
to firmly tighten a screw, loosen a very tight screw
or continue working when the battery energy has
expired. For manual screwdriver purposes, the chuck
is automatically locked when the tool is off.
8. USING THE SIGHT LIGHT
The sight light allows you to keep a clear view under
less illuminated circumstances. To turn on the light
simply press the on/off switch. When you release the
on/off switch, the light will go out.
9. LEVEL DRILLING (See Fig. H)
The bubble level is recessed in the motor housing on
the top of the drill. It can be used to keep the drill level
during horizontal drilling operation.
The bubble level is recessed in the motor housing on
the back of the drill. It can be used to keep the drill
level during vertical drilling operation.
10. DRILLING
When drilling into a hard smooth surface, 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. Hold the tool firmly and place the tip of the
bit at the point to be drilled. Depress the switch trigger
to start the tool. Move the drill bit into the workpiece,
FC1A
B C2 G
D H
E

13
WX160 WX163
Lithium-Ion
cordless drill/driver
applying only enough pressure to keep
the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side
pressure to elongate a hole.
Tungsten carbide drill bits should
always be used for concrete and
masonry. When drilling in metal, only
use HSS drill bits in good condition.
Always use a magnetic bit holder (not
included) when using short screwdriver
bits. When screw-driving, apply a small
quantity of liquid soap or similar to the
screw threads to ease insertion.
11. DISPOSAL OF AN EXHAUSTED
BATTERY PACK
To preserve natural resources, please
recycle or dispose of the battery
pack properly. This battery pack
contains Lithium batteries. Consult your local
waste authority for information regarding
available recycling and/or disposal options.
Discharge your battery pack by operating
your drill, then remove the battery pack
from the drill housing and cover the battery
pack connections with heavy-duty adhesive
tape to prevent short circuit and energy
discharge. Do not attempt to open or remove
any of the components.
12. OVERLOAD PROTECTION
When overloaded, the motor comes to
a stop. Relieve the load on the machine
immediately and allow cooling for approx. 30
seconds at the highest no-load speed.
13. TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
When using as intended for the power tool
cannot be subject to overload. When the
load is too high or the allowable battery
temperature of 75°C is exceeded, the
electronic control switches off the power
tool until the temperature is in the optimum
temperature range again.
14. PROTECTION AGAINST DEEP
DISCHARGING
The Li-Ion battery is protected against deep
discharging by the “Discharging Protection
System”. When the battery is empty, the
machine is switched off by means of a
protective circuit: The inserted tool no longer
rotates.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
1. WHY DOES THE DRILL NOT TURN ON
WHEN YOU PRESS THE SWITCH?
The forward/reverse rotation control, which
is on top of the trigger, is positioned in the
lock function. Unlock the forward/reverse
rotation control by putting it into the required
rotation position. Push the trigger and the
drill will start to rotate.
2. THE DRILL STOPS BEFORE THE
SCREW IS COMPLETELY TIGHTENED.
WHY?
Verify the torque position of the torque
adjusting ring, you can find the torque-
adjusting ring between the chuck and the
drill body. Position 1 is the lowest torque
(screw driving force) and position 23 is the
highest torque (screw driving force). Position
24 is for drill operation. Regulate the torque
adjusting ring to a higher position to reach
the best result.
3. 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.

14
