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 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. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• 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. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Personal Safety: Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Power 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. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• 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. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

4. Once fully charged, disconnect the battery from the charger.

Note: The Li-ion battery features no memory effect and advanced no self-discharge, ensuring it holds its charge well when not in use.

2. Installing and Removing the Battery Pack

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

3. Installing Drill Bits and Accessories

The drill features a 0.8 - 10mm keyless chuck for quick and easy accessory changes.

1. Ensure the drill is switched off and the forward/reverse switch is in the center (locked) position to prevent accidental starting.
2. Rotate the chuck counter-clockwise to open the chuck jaws wide enough to insert the desired drill bit or screwdriver bit.
3. Insert the bit fully into the chuck.
4. Rotate the chuck clockwise to tighten the jaws firmly around the bit. Ensure the bit is centered and secure to prevent slippage during operation.

Operation

1. Powering On/Off and Variable Speed Control

• To start the drill, press the variable speed control trigger. The speed of rotation increases as you press the trigger further.
• To stop the drill, release the trigger.
• The maximum no-load speed is 650 RPM.

2. Forward/Reverse Function

The forward/reverse switch is located above the trigger. This switch controls the direction of the chuck's rotation.

• Push the switch to the left for forward rotation (for drilling and tightening screws).
• Push the switch to the right for reverse rotation (for removing screws).
• When the switch is in the center position, the trigger is locked, preventing accidental operation. Always set the switch to the center position when not in use or when changing bits.

3. Torque Settings

The torque adjustment ring allows you to select from 18 torque settings plus a drill mode. This feature helps prevent over-driving screws and damaging materials.

• Rotate the torque adjustment ring to the desired setting. Lower numbers are for smaller screws and softer materials, while higher numbers are for larger screws and harder materials.
• Select the drill symbol for drilling applications, which provides maximum torque (15 Nm) without clutch engagement.
• The drill has a maximum drilling capacity of 20mm in wood and 8mm in steel.

4. LED Worklight

The integrated LED worklight automatically illuminates when the trigger is pressed, providing visibility in dimly lit work areas.
