1. Safety Instructions

Always read and understand 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.

1.1 General Power Tool Safety

• Work Area Safety: Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
• Electrical Safety: 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.
• Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection. Use personal protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection when appropriate.
• Tool Use and Care: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

1.2 Battery Tool Use and Care

• 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.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When the 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.
• 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.

2. Slide the 10.8V Li-ion battery pack onto the charger until it clicks into place.
3. The charger's indicator light will show the charging status (refer to charger manual for specific light patterns).
4. Once fully charged, remove the battery pack from the charger. Do not overcharge.

• To Install: Align the battery pack with the base of the drill handle and slide it in until it clicks securely into place.
• To Remove: Press the battery release buttons (usually on the sides of the battery pack) and slide the battery pack out of the drill handle.

4.3 Installing/Removing Drill Bits or Driver Bits

1. Rotate the keyless chuck counter-clockwise to open the chuck jaws.
2. Insert the desired drill bit or driver bit into the chuck, ensuring it is centered.
3. Rotate the keyless chuck clockwise to tighten the jaws firmly around the bit. Ensure the bit is secure before operation.
4. To Remove: Rotate the chuck counter-clockwise to loosen the jaws and pull the bit out.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Selecting Speed Range

The drill driver has two speed ranges, selected by the gear selector switch located on top of the tool:

• Position 1 (Low Speed): 0-350 RPM. Ideal for high torque applications like driving screws or drilling large diameter holes.
• Position 2 (High Speed): 0-1100 RPM. Suitable for fast drilling of small diameter holes.

Note: Always change the speed range when the tool is stopped to prevent gear damage.

5.2 Adjusting Torque Settings

The torque adjustment ring allows you to select from 21 torque settings for screwing applications, plus an additional position for drilling.

• Settings 1-21: For driving screws. Lower numbers are for smaller screws or softer materials, higher numbers for larger screws or harder materials. The clutch will disengage when the set torque is reached, preventing overtightening or stripping.
• Drill Symbol (⚒): For drilling applications. This setting provides maximum torque without clutch disengagement.

5.3 Forward/Reverse Rotation

The forward/reverse switch, located above the trigger, controls the direction of rotation:

• Pushing the switch to the left (when viewed from the rear) sets the drill to forward rotation for drilling and driving screws.
• Pushing the switch to the right sets the drill to reverse rotation for removing screws or backing out drill bits.
• When the switch is in the center position, the trigger is locked, preventing accidental starting.

5.4 Variable Speed Trigger

The variable speed trigger allows for precise control over the operating speed. Press the trigger lightly for slower speeds and increase pressure for higher speeds. This feature provides complete control for various tasks.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

• Always disconnect the battery pack before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
• Keep the ventilation openings of the tool clean to prevent overheating.
• Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior of the tool. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
