5. To remove, rotate the chuck sleeve counter-clockwise to loosen the jaws and pull the bit out.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off

• To turn on the drill, press the trigger switch. The drill speed is variable depending on how far the trigger is pressed.
• To turn off the drill, release the trigger switch.

2. Forward/Reverse Rotation

• The forward/reverse selector switch is located above the trigger.
• Push the switch to the left for forward rotation (for drilling and tightening screws).
• Push the switch to the right for reverse rotation (for loosening screws).
• When the switch is in the center position, the trigger is locked, preventing accidental starting.

3. Speed Selection

• The drill has two mechanical speed settings, selected via a switch on top of the drill body.
• Position 1 (Low Speed): For high torque applications like driving large screws or drilling large holes in wood.
• Position 2 (High Speed): For faster drilling in softer materials or smaller holes.
• Always change speed settings when the drill is stopped to prevent gear damage.

4. Torque Adjustment

• The torque adjustment ring is located behind the chuck. Rotate it to select the desired torque setting.
• Lower numbers indicate lower torque for small screws or soft materials.
• Higher numbers indicate higher torque for larger screws or harder materials.
• The drill icon setting is for drilling applications, providing maximum torque without clutch engagement.

5. Drilling and Screwdriving Tips

• Always secure your workpiece in a vise or with clamps.
• Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the drill.
• For drilling, start with a slow speed to create a pilot hole, then increase speed as needed.
• For screwdriving, select an appropriate torque setting to avoid stripping screw heads or damaging the workpiece.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

• Always disconnect the battery before cleaning.
• Regularly clean the ventilation slots on the drill to prevent overheating. Use a soft brush or compressed air.
• Wipe the tool housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Keep the chuck jaws clean and free of debris to ensure proper bit gripping.

2. Storage

• Store the drill and batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Ensure the battery is removed from the drill before storage.
• Store batteries partially charged (around 50%) if storing for extended periods to prolong battery life.
