5. Setup
5.1. Battery Installation and Charging
- To install the battery, align the battery pack with the base of the drill and slide it in until it clicks securely into place.
- To remove the battery, press the release buttons on the sides of the battery pack and slide it out.
- To charge the battery, connect the fast charger to the battery pack. Plug the charger into a suitable power outlet. The charging indicator on the charger will show the charging status.
5.2. Drill Bit and Accessory Installation
- Installing Drill Bits: Loosen the keyless chuck by rotating it counter-clockwise. Insert the drill bit into the chuck as far as it will go. Tighten the chuck by rotating it clockwise until the bit is securely held.
- Installing Screwdriver Bits: For standard screwdriver bits, insert the bit directly into the keyless chuck and tighten. For bits requiring an extension rod or flexible shaft, first insert the extension rod/flexible shaft into the chuck and tighten, then insert the screwdriver bit into the extension/shaft.
- Installing Sockets: Use the extension rod with the appropriate socket adapter (if needed) to attach sockets.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Adjusting Torque
The torque adjustment ring allows you to set the amount of rotational force the drill applies. This prevents over-tightening screws or damaging materials. Rotate the ring to select the desired torque setting (25+1 positions available).
- Settings 1-5: Suitable for PVC and light materials.
- Settings 7-11: Ideal for wood.
- Settings 13-17: For brick and harder materials.
- Settings 19-25: For ceramic tile and demanding applications.
- Drill Mode: For drilling holes, select the drill icon setting for maximum torque.
6.2. Adjusting Speed
The drill features a 2-variable speed regulation switch located on top of the drill body.
- 1st Gear (Low Speed: 0-350rpm): Use for tightening screws or applications requiring higher torque and more control.
- 2nd Gear (High Speed: 0-1400rpm): Use for drilling holes or applications requiring faster rotation.
6.3. Forward/Reverse Function
The forward/reverse switch is located above the trigger. Push it to the left for forward rotation (screwing in) and to the right for reverse rotation (unscrewing/disassembly). Position the switch in the middle to lock the machine and prevent accidental activation.
6.4. LED Work Light
The integral LED work light automatically activates when the trigger is pressed, illuminating your work area for improved visibility in dark or confined spaces.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Keep the ventilation slots of the power tool clean to prevent overheating. Regularly wipe the tool with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store batteries in a discharged state for long periods.
- Chuck Maintenance: Periodically clean the chuck jaws to ensure proper grip on bits.
- Storage: When not in use, store the drill and its accessories in the provided kit box in a dry, secure location out of reach of children.
8. Troubleshooting

10. User Tips
- For specialized tasks like driving long wood screws, ensure any automatic screw driving tools or attachments you use are compatible with the drill's 3/8" keyless chuck.
- Always start drilling at a lower speed to prevent the bit from wandering, then increase speed as needed.
- When driving screws, use the appropriate torque setting to avoid stripping screw heads or damaging the workpiece.
- The flexible shaft accessory is excellent for reaching screws in tight or awkward spaces.
