• Insert the drill bit or screwdriver bit fully into the chuck.
• Rotate the chuck clockwise to tighten the jaws securely around the bit. Ensure the bit is centered.
• To remove, rotate the chuck counter-clockwise.

Operating Instructions

Selecting Operating Mode and Torque

• Screwdriving Mode: Rotate the mode selector ring to the screw symbol. Adjust the torque setting ring (1-22) based on the material and screw size. Lower settings for smaller screws/softer materials, higher for larger screws/harder materials.
• Drilling Mode: Rotate the mode selector ring to the drill symbol. This mode provides maximum torque without clutch engagement.
• Impact Drilling Mode: Rotate the mode selector ring to the hammer symbol. Use this mode for drilling into masonry, concrete, or brick.

Speed Control

• Use the speed selector switch to choose between Gear 1 (low speed, high torque for screwdriving and large diameter drilling) and Gear 2 (high speed, lower torque for small diameter drilling).
• The trigger switch allows for variable speed control. Pressing it further increases the speed.

Forward/Reverse Rotation

Push the forward/reverse switch to the left for forward rotation (screwing in, drilling) and to the right for reverse rotation (unscrewing, removing bits).

LED Work Light

The integrated LED light automatically illuminates the work area when the trigger is pressed, providing better visibility in dimly lit spaces.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Keep the ventilation slots clean to prevent overheating. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the tool casing. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the tool and accessories in a dry, dust-free place, out of reach of children. Remove the battery pack from the tool before storage.
• Battery Care: For optimal battery life, store batteries in a cool, dry place and charge them periodically if not used for extended periods.
