AVID POWER 20V MAX Lithium Ion Cordless Drill Set User Manual

1. Important Safety Instructions

Always observe basic safety precautions when using electric tools to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Read all instructions carefully before operating this product.

• Work Area Safety: Keep your 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 safety glasses or goggles. Use hearing protection when operating for extended periods. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
• Tool Use and Care: 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. 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.
• Battery Pack 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.

• Variable Speed Trigger: Controls the drilling/driving speed based on pressure applied.
• Forward/Reverse Switch: Changes the rotation direction for driving or removing screws.
• LED Light: Illuminates the work area for improved visibility in low-light conditions.

4. Setup

4.1 Charging the Battery

The battery pack is not fully charged upon purchase. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before first use.

1. Connect the charger to a standard electrical outlet.
2. Slide the battery pack onto the charger until it clicks into place.
3. The battery level display on the battery pack will indicate the charging status. A full charge is indicated when all lights are solid green.
4. Once fully charged, disconnect the charger from the outlet and remove the battery pack.

Note: This drill can only use the battery from AVID POWER. Do not use a battery from other brands or a battery with a larger capacity.

4.2 Installing and Removing Drill/Driver Bits

1. To install a bit, hold the rear part of the chuck (the part closest to the drill body) with one hand and rotate the front part of the chuck counter-clockwise until the jaws are open wide enough to insert the bit.
2. Insert the desired drill or driver bit into the chuck. Ensure the bit is inserted as far as it will go.
3. Rotate the front part of the chuck clockwise to tighten the jaws securely around the bit. Hand-tighten firmly.
4. To remove a bit, reverse the process: hold the rear part of the chuck and rotate the front part counter-clockwise to loosen the jaws, then pull the bit out.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Variable Speed Control

The drill features a variable speed trigger, allowing you to control the rotational speed based on the pressure you apply.

• Press the trigger lightly for slower speeds, ideal for starting holes or driving screws.
• Press the trigger fully for maximum speed, suitable for drilling larger holes or faster driving.

5.2 Torque Settings

The drill features a 15+1 position torque setting ring, allowing you to select the appropriate torque for your task. This prevents over-driving screws or damaging materials.

• Rotate the torque setting ring to align the desired number with the arrow on the drill body.
• Lower numbers (1-5) are for driving small screws into soft materials.
• Medium numbers (6-10) are for driving screws into medium-density materials.
• Higher numbers (11-15) are for driving large screws or drilling into harder materials.
• The drill icon setting is for drilling applications, providing maximum torque.

5.3 Forward/Reverse Switch

The forward/reverse switch controls the direction of rotation.

• Push the switch to the left for forward rotation (for drilling and driving screws).
• Push the switch to the right for reverse rotation (for removing screws or freeing jammed bits).
• Center the switch to lock the trigger, preventing accidental startup.

5.4 LED Work Light

The integrated LED light automatically illuminates when the trigger is pressed, providing visibility in dark or confined spaces.

5.5 Using the Flexible Shaft

The included flexible shaft is designed for extending bits into narrow or hard-to-reach spaces where the drill itself cannot fit.

1. Insert the hexagonal end of the flexible shaft into the drill's keyless chuck and tighten securely.
2. Insert the desired drill or driver bit into the chuck at the other end of the flexible shaft and tighten.
3. Use the flexible shaft to access tight corners or awkward angles for drilling or driving.
