General safety rules
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.
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.

5
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.
h) This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
i) Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
b) 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.
c) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
d) 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.
e) 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.
Additional safety rules for drills

Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold your work.
• Always switch off before you put the drill down.
• Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
• Do not put pressure on the drill, such that it slows the
motor down. Allow the drill bit to cut without pressure.
You will get better results and you will be taking better
care of your tool.
• Keep the area free of tripping hazards.
• Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this tool.

6
• Only use accessory bits in good condition.
• Before drilling or driving, check that there is sufficient
clearance for the drill bit under the workpiece.
•Check where you are drilling or driving. Ensure there
are no hidden electrical cables or pipes where you are
working.
• Do not touch the bit after operation. It will be very hot.
• Keep your hands away from under the workpiece.
• Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste
close by the bit.
• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left
around the work area.
• Support the work properly.
• If you are interrupted when operating the drill, complete
the process and switch off before looking up.
• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are
properly tightened.
• When using the drill, use safety equipment including
safety glasses or shield, ear defenders, and protective
clothing including safety gloves. Wear a dust mask if the
drilling operation creates dust.
If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source
with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to
the motor.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will
be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the
manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury
resulting from such cases of misuse.
To use this tool properly, you must observe the safety
regulations, the assembly instructions and the operating
instructions to be found in this manual. All persons who use

• Damage to hearing if effective ear defenders are not worn.
Additional safety rules for circular saws
WARNING! The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. The operator must
understand that common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied
by the operator.
DANGER
a. Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade.
Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor
housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot
be cut by the blade.
b. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
c. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.
d. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is
important to support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
shock the operator.
f. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge

7
guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces
the chance of blade binding.
g. Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that
do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
h. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or
bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed
for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of
operation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
•Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift
up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
•When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf
closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction
drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
•If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the
teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top
surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the
kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
a. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and
position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position
your body to either side of the blade, but not in line
with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump
backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b. When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the material until the blade comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw
from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade
is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the
saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are
not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it
may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw
is restarted.
d. Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade
pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed under the
panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the
edge of the panel.
e. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened
or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f. Blade depth adjusting locking levers must be tight
and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment
shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g. Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.
a. Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally
dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard
with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely
and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all
depths of cut.
b. Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the
guard and the spring are not operating properly, they
must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a
build-up of debris.
c. Lower guard should be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound
cuts.” Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as
soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must
be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should

8
operate automatically.
d. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to
walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware
of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is
released.
e. Do not use abrasive wheels
WARNING. We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
Wear goggles
Wear earmuffs
Wear a breathing mask
Additional safety rules for reciprocating saws
•Always remove the battery pack before making any
adjustments or maintenance, including changing the
blade.
•When operating the saw, use safety equipment including
safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust mask and
protective clothing including safety gloves.
•Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
•Keep the area free of tripping hazards.
•Do not let anyone under the age of 18 years operate
this saw.
•Always stand to one side when operating the saw.
•Never use a cracked or distorted saw blade.
Only use sharp blades.
•When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent
the work piece from turning on both sides of the blade.
•Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste
close by the blade.
•Use only blades as recommended.
•Rags, cloths, cord and string and the like should never be
left around the work area.
•Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the work piece and remove all
nails and other foreign objects before beginning sawing.
•Support the work properly.
•Never reach over the blade to remove waste or off cuts.
•Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first
switching off the machine.
•Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood.
Let the blade come to rest naturally.
•If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete
the process and switch off before looking up.
•Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are
properly tightened.
•Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you
accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own cable,
the metal parts of the saw will become “live”.
•Never saw near combustible liquids or gases.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will
be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the
manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury
resulting from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made
to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible
to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards
may arise in connection with the tool’s construction
and design:
•Contact with the blade.
•Kickback of work piece and parts of work piece.
•Blade fracture.
•Catapulting of blade pieces.
•Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn.
•Harmful emissions of sawdust when the machine is
used in closed rooms. Always use supplementary dust
extraction where possible.
•Do not use blades that are deformed or cracked.

9
•After long working periods external metal parts and
accessories could be hot.
•Do not force the saw; let the tool do the work at a
reasonable speed. Overloading will occur if too much
pressure is applied and the motor slows resulting in
inefficient cutting and possible damage to the motor.
•Always remove the battery pack before making any
adjustments or maintenance, including changing the
blade.
WARNINGS. Before connecting a tool to a power source
(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool or charger. A power source with a
voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in
serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If
in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with
a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the
motor.
WARNINGS. We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
Additional safety rules for rotary tools
WARNING. The use of an accessory or attachment, other
than those recommended in this Instruction Manual, may
present a risk of personal injury.
•Do not use a disc marked with a lower RPM than that of
the maximum no load speed shown on the rating label.
•Always wear eye, ear and breathing protection.
•Do not apply too much pressure when grinding,
cutting, etc.

Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that
your XCEED Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing.
If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
Important information – Product care
This Combo Kit uses Lithium-Ion battery cells. Care
MUST be taken to ensure both the safety and life of the
pack is maintained. Ensure you have read all of the safety
notes in the previous pages before using the drill/driver.
Safety devices and circuitry for this tool are located in
the battery pack of this tool. The battery pack is a vital
component, not just for the power source, but also for
the full safety control for both the charging and also the
tool operation. Treat the battery pack with care and within
the guidelines of this manual. If the pack does become
immersed in water or any fluids, or is subject to a sever
drop etc, or it does not operate within the guidelines of
this manual, immediately STOP using the battery pack
and have it checked.
During operation avoid overloading the tool. If the tool is
overloaded it will automatically STOP. Overloading may
occur for a number of reasons including when the tool is
pushed too hard or when using a drill bit or attachment
greater than what is specified. If you do overload the tool
during operation refer to the “Overload” section in this
manual.
Note: When the battery of the tool is at the lower end of the
charge, the tool is more susceptible to the overload condition.
As mentioned above the battery pack is an integral
component of this tool and it is fitted with thermal safety
devices. Running the drill at close to maximum load, or
continual resetting of the overload will cause the battery
pack to over heat. When a preset cell temperature is
detected, the battery pack will automatically STOP
operating and will not restart until the battery pack has
cooled to a safe level.
In this condition, DO NOT force cool the pack by placing in
a freezer or similar device. Refer to the “Overload” section
in this manual.
Another feature of the drill/battery pack is the low voltage
cut out feature. This feature operates when the voltage
drops below a preset value. When this occurs the tool will
automatically stop operating. To correct the situation you
need to either insert another charged battery into the drill
or recharge the existing battery, and then proceed with the
drilling/driving application.
Note: Attempting to restart the tool in this condition without
either recharging the battery or installing a battery with
charge will lead to drill restarting and then stopping again
after only a few seconds of operation.
These safety devices have been fitted for the safety,
reliability and life of the tool.
Fitting and removing the battery pack
To remove the battery pack from the tool, firmly press the
battery release button (2) at the front of the battery pack,
and pull the battery downwards out of the tool.
To install the battery pack, push the battery pack fully into
the handle of the tool.

16
Battery charging
IMPORTANT. Before plugging in the power supply from the
the charger base (3) always ensure that the plug is switched
off at the mains.
IMPORTANT. The battery will be fully charged after approx
1 hour, remove it from the charger after this time.
Do not leave a battery charging for longer than 24 hours.
1 Connect the Charger base (3) to a mains power outlet
(240Vac) and turn on. The green indicator light on the
charger base should glow.
2 Align the battery pack (1) with the entry of the charger
base (3). Fully insert the battery.
3
The red indicator light should now glow indicating the battery
is being charged.
4 When the battery is charged, the red light will turn off
leaving just the green power light on.
5 Remove the battery from the charger base and turn off.
The green light should go off.
To obtain the best life for the battery
Never allow the tool to completely drain the battery and
come to a complete stand still before recharging. The
battery should be placed on charge whenever the battery
is noticeably running down or the tool no longer performs a
task it previously performed. For storage, charge between
50 and 75%. Avoid allowing loose items like screws or nails
etc. to be stored with battery packs as these or similar items
can short battery packs and cause a fire or explosion.
Always unplug the charger when not in use and store in
a dry secure place.
Avoid charging or storing your battery in temperatures
below 0ºC and above 40ºC.
Safety features incorporated with ALL tools
using this battery pack
Product overload
These tools are fitted with an overload protection. If the
tool is excessively forced, or the task being performed is
too great for the tool, the tool will automatically go into
an overload mode. When the tool goes into overload, the
tool will automatically and suddenly STOP. To reset the
overload, simply release the trigger. When the trigger is
pressed again, the tool will restart. Resume work after the
overload has been reset, but reduce the load by using a
smaller drill bit or re-sharpen the existing drill bit and reduce
the amount of force placed on the tool.
CAUTION. Do not continue to overload the tool and
constantly reset the overload. Doing this will cause the
battery cells to overheat.

17
Temperature cut out
If the tool is constantly overloaded, or the tool is used
constantly at maximum rating in high ambient conditions,
the battery cells may over heat causing the battery pack to
shut down.
The yellow indicator on the battery pack will stay illuminated
in this condition. When this occurs you will need to
immediately stop working and allow the battery cells to
reduce in temperature.
To reduce the temperature of the cells remove the battery
pack from the tool and place the battery pack in a free air
environment, out of direct sunlight or any other heat source.
DO NOT force cool the pack in any way. Do not place in
refrigerators or freezers.
When the battery pack has cooled down it can again
be used to operate the tool, as long as the load or the
conditions causing the original excessive temperature
has been corrected.
Low voltage cut out
The battery pack used on this tool is fitted with a low
voltage cut out feature within the circuitry.
The low voltage cut out feature operates when the voltage
drops below a preset value. This feature automatically
stops the tool from operating (similar to that of the over
load condition). When this condition occurs you will need
to either insert another battery into the tool or recharge the
existing battery.
The low voltage cut out feature has been added to
maximise the tool’s life. When this occurs, recharge the
battery pack by following the battery charging section in
this manual.
Note: Attempting to restart the tool without either recharging
the battery or installing another battery (with charge) will
lead to the tool restarting and then stopping again, after only
a few seconds of operation.
Product Work light.
The drill/driver in this kit is fitted with an LED work light.
The LED work light automatically comes on when the trigger
is pressed. The work light cannot be operated without the
tool being turned on.
The LED work light is a fixed light and cannot be altered. It
is aimed at the point where the fitted accessory (ie. Drill Bit)
makes contact with the work piece.

Know your product: Drill
Before using the Drill/Driver, familiarise
yourself with all the operating features
and safety requirements.
This drill is mainly used for drilling
in wood or metal sheet and
screwdriving. Use the tool
only for intended applications.

Using the drill
Trigger switch
Use the forward/reverse switch (3) to select the direction
of rotation, then pull the trigger (2). This trigger switch is an
electronic variable speed control which enables the user to
vary the speed continuously. The speed varies according
to how far the trigger switch is depressed. The further it is
depressed the faster the chuck will rotate and the lighter it
is depressed, the slower it will rotate.
To stop the drill, release the trigger switch.
Note. The variable speed control fitted to this drill is NOT
intended to be used for long periods of time during the
operation of the task being performed. Use the variable
speed to start drilling and screwing tasks, and then fully
depress the trigger once the task has started.
CAUTION. Extended use of the variable speed under
load will overload and then permanently damage the
speed control.
Forward/reverse switch
Note. You can only change
the direction of rotation of the
drill using the forward/reverse
switch when the trigger is NOT
depressed.
This switch (3) will allow you to
change the direction of the motor
while the trigger switch is not
depressed.
Drilling uses the forward mode. The reverse mode is
intended for the removal of screws and assisting to remove
jammed drill bits.
Adjustable torque
This drill is equipped with 17
torque settings plus one drill
setting which are controlled
by the torque collar (6). All of
the torque settings are clearly
identified on the torque collar.
To adjust the torque setting you
rotate the torque collar. Rotate
the torque collar to a higher number to increase the torque
setting and rotate it to a lower number to decrease the
torque setting.
Controlling the torque allows for better control when using
the drill on specific tasks and prevents over-fastening and
over-tightening of screws and fasteners.
For drilling, always use the use
the Drill position by aligning the
Drill symbol with the triangular
indicator on the front face of the
drill near the torque collar.
For setting the torque position,
select a low setting on the
torque collar and align the
selected symbol with the
triangular indicator on the top of the drill. Increase gradually
to set the correct torque. It is better to use a scrap piece of
material if possible to set the torque.

20
Inserting and removing bits
This drill has a keyless chuck,
which means that a chuck key
is not needed to secure a bit in
the drill.
1. Open the chuck by holding
the rear section of the chuck
firm and rotating the front
section in a anti-clockwise
direction, sufficiently enough to
allow the drill bit required
to fully enter the jaws of the
chuck.
2. Ensure the drill bit is fully
inserted, so that the chuck
jaws grip the straight section
of the bit.
3. Holding the rear section of the
chuck firmly, rotate the front
section of the chuck clock-wise
until the jaws tighten on the
drill bit. The front section of the
chuck needs to be tightened
firmly to ensure the drill bit is
held securely.
4. To remove the drill bit, hold the rear section of the chuck
firmly and rotate sharply the front section of the chuck in
a anti-clockwise direction, sufficiently enough to allow the
drill bit to be removed.
Note: Drill bits are not supplied with this kit.

the item being drilled.
Chuck replacement
The chucks of reversible drills are always fixed by a screw
with a left-hand thread. The screw, which is located in the
centre of the chuck, must be removed before the chuck can
be removed. To remove the screw, turn it in a clockwise
direction. The chuck can now be removed by unscrewing it
anti-clockwise. If you have trouble removing the chuck take
the drill to your nearest authorised service centre for chuck
replacement.
CAUTION. Always ensure that the drill is switched off
and the battery pack is removed before making any
adjustments.
