5. Setup and Assembly

5.1 Charging the Battery

If your drill came with a battery and charger:

1. Connect the charger to a standard power outlet (Input 110V-240V).
2. Slide the battery pack onto the charger until it clicks into place.
3. Allow approximately 80 minutes for a full charge. The battery indicator on the drill or charger will show charging status.
4. Once charged, disconnect the battery from the charger.

Note: Ensure the battery is fully charged before first use for optimal performance and battery life.

5.2 Attaching/Removing the Battery Pack

• To Attach: Align the battery pack with the base of the drill handle and slide it in until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the battery pack lock knob is engaged.
• To Remove: Press the battery pack lock knob (if present) and slide the battery pack out from the handle.

5.3 Installing Drill Bits/Screwdriver Bits

1. Rotate the chuck counter-clockwise to open the jaws.
2. Insert the desired drill bit or screwdriver bit into the chuck.
3. Rotate the chuck clockwise to tighten the jaws firmly around the bit. Ensure the bit is centered and secure.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Power On/Off and Speed Control

• To Turn On: Press the trigger switch. The LED light will illuminate the work area.
• To Turn Off: Release the trigger switch.
• Variable Speed: The speed of the drill is controlled by how much you press the trigger. Press lightly for slower speeds, press fully for maximum speed.

6.2 Dual Speed Adjustment

The drill features a dual-speed selector switch, typically located on top of the tool:

• Position 1 (Low Speed): Provides higher torque for screwdriving and drilling larger holes in tougher materials. (No-load speed: 0-500 rpm/min)
• Position 2 (High Speed): Provides faster speed for drilling smaller holes and lighter tasks. (No-load speed: 0-1800 rpm/min)
• Select the appropriate speed setting before starting your task.

6.3 Torque Adjustment

The torque adjustment collar (20+1 settings) allows you to set the amount of torque before the clutch engages, preventing overtightening of screws or stripping screw heads. The 'drill' symbol setting bypasses the clutch for maximum torque during drilling operations.

1. Rotate the torque adjustment collar to the desired setting.
2. Start with a lower torque setting and increase as needed for your application.
3. For drilling, select the drill symbol setting.

6.4 Forward/Reverse Rotation

A forward/reverse selector switch, usually located above the trigger, controls the direction of rotation:

• Forward: Push the switch to the left for clockwise rotation (for driving screws and drilling).
• Reverse: Push the switch to the right for counter-clockwise rotation (for removing screws).
• Lock: When the switch is in the center position, the trigger is locked, preventing accidental startup.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

• Always remove the battery pack before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
• Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior of the tool. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Keep the ventilation openings clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating.
• Clean the chuck jaws regularly to ensure proper bit gripping.

7.2 Storage

• Store the tool and battery pack in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
