Setup

1. Battery Charging

The battery pack is not fully charged at the time of purchase. It must be fully charged before first use.

• Connect the charger to a standard power outlet.
• Slide the battery pack onto the charger until it clicks into place.
• The charging indicator light on the charger will show the charging status. A full charge typically takes 60 minutes for the 2Ah battery.
• Once fully charged, disconnect the battery from the charger and unplug the charger from the outlet.

2. Battery Installation and Removal

• Installation: Align the battery pack with the base of the drill handle and slide it in until it locks securely.
• Removal: Press the battery release button (usually located on the sides of the battery pack) and slide the battery pack out.

3. Installing and Removing Drill Bits/Screwdriver Bits

• Ensure the battery pack is removed from the tool before changing bits.
• Rotate the keyless metal chuck counter-clockwise to open the jaws.
• Insert the desired drill bit or screwdriver bit into the chuck, ensuring it is centered.
• Rotate the chuck clockwise to tighten the jaws firmly around the bit. Hand-tighten only; do not use tools to tighten the chuck.
• To remove a bit, rotate the chuck counter-clockwise and pull the bit out.

Operating Instructions

1. Selecting Operating Mode (Screwdriving, Drilling, Hammer Drilling)

The mode selector ring is located behind the chuck. Rotate it to select the appropriate icon:

• Screwdriving Mode (⚙): For driving and removing screws. Use with the torque adjustment ring.
• Drilling Mode (⚒): For drilling into wood, metal, and plastic. The hammer function is disengaged.
• Hammer Drilling Mode (⚒⚡): For drilling into masonry and concrete. The hammer function is engaged.

2. Adjusting Torque (Screwdriving Mode Only)

The torque adjustment ring has 21 settings plus a drill setting. Select a lower torque setting for smaller screws or softer materials to prevent overtightening or stripping. Use higher settings for larger screws or harder materials. The drill setting provides maximum torque for drilling.

3. Selecting Speed

The speed selector switch is located on top of the drill. It has two positions:

• Position 1 (Low Speed): 0-440 RPM. Ideal for screwdriving, larger drill bits, or applications requiring higher torque.
• Position 2 (High Speed): 0-1650 RPM. Suitable for smaller drill bits and faster drilling in softer materials.

4. Forward/Reverse Rotation

The forward/reverse switch is located above the trigger. Push it to the left for forward rotation (clockwise) and to the right for reverse rotation (counter-clockwise). Ensure the switch is in the center position to lock the trigger and prevent accidental starting.

5. Starting and Stopping the Tool

• To start the tool, press the trigger switch. The speed is variable depending on how far the trigger is pressed.
• To stop the tool, release the trigger switch.
• The integrated LED work light will illuminate when the trigger is pressed.

6. Using the Belt Clip

The belt clip allows for convenient temporary storage of the tool on a belt or pocket. Ensure the tool is switched off and the trigger locked before using the belt clip.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your tool.

Cleaning

• Always disconnect the battery pack before cleaning.
• Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down 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. Use compressed air if necessary.
• Clean the chuck jaws regularly to ensure proper gripping of bits.

Storage

• Ensure the battery pack is partially charged (around 50%) before long-term storage.
• Store out of reach of children.

Battery Care

• Do not store battery packs in temperatures above 50°C (122°F) or below -20°C (-4°F).
