Installing and Removing Drill Bits/Driver Bits
The drill/driver features a 13mm (1/2 inch) keyless chuck for quick and easy bit changes.
- To Install: Rotate the chuck collar counter-clockwise until the jaws are open wide enough to insert the bit. Insert the bit fully into the chuck. Rotate the chuck collar clockwise to tighten the jaws securely around the bit. Hand-tighten firmly.
- To Remove: Rotate the chuck collar counter-clockwise to loosen the jaws and remove the bit.
3. Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off and Variable Speed Trigger
The tool is equipped with a variable speed trigger switch. Press the trigger to turn the tool on. The speed of the tool increases as you increase pressure on the trigger. Release the trigger to turn the tool off.
Forward/Reverse Control
A forward/reverse selector switch is located above the trigger. Push the switch to the left for forward rotation (drilling/driving screws in) and to the right for reverse rotation (removing screws). Position the switch in the center for the trigger lock, which prevents accidental starting.
Torque Adjustment Collar
The torque adjustment collar allows you to select from 22 different torque settings, plus a drilling mode. Rotate the collar to the desired setting. Lower settings are for driving small screws or working with soft materials, while higher settings are for larger screws or harder materials. The drill symbol is for drilling applications, providing maximum torque.

2-Speed Gear Selector
The tool features a 2-speed gear selector switch located on top of the drill. Position 1 provides lower speed (0-350 RPM) and higher torque, ideal for driving screws or drilling large holes. Position 2 provides higher speed (0-1500 RPM) and lower torque, suitable for drilling small holes or faster driving.

4. Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean the ventilation slots of the tool to prevent overheating. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris. Do not use water or chemical cleaning agents, as these can damage the tool.
Storage
Store the tool and batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure batteries are partially charged before long-term storage to prolong their lifespan. Keep out of reach of children.
Battery Care
Do not store batteries in discharged condition. Recharge them as soon as they are depleted. Avoid exposing batteries to water or extreme heat. Do not attempt to open or modify battery packs.
5. Troubleshooting
- Tool does not start: Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Check that the forward/reverse selector is not in the center (locked) position.
- Loss of power during operation: The battery may be low. Recharge the battery. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement.
- Excessive vibration or noise: Check that the drill bit or driver bit is securely installed and not bent or damaged. Ensure the chuck is tightened properly.
- Overheating: Allow the tool to cool down. Ensure ventilation slots are clear of debris. Avoid continuous heavy-duty use without breaks.
