2. Safety Information

Always observe basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury when using power tools. Keep this manual for important safety and operating instructions.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

• 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 appropriate safety equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection when necessary. Dress properly; avoid loose clothing or jewelry.
• Tool Use and Care: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.

Battery Pack Safety Warnings

• Do not disassemble, open, or shred battery packs.
• Do not expose battery packs to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
• Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Store battery packs away from metal objects that could make a connection between the terminals.
• In case of battery leakage, avoid contact with the skin and eyes. If contact occurs, wash the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical advice.

5.2. Installing and Removing Bits

1. Ensure the drill is off and the forward/reverse switch is in the center (locked) position.
2. To open the chuck, rotate the front collar of the chuck counter-clockwise until the jaws are wide enough to insert the bit.
3. Insert the desired drill bit or screwdriver bit into the chuck. Ensure the bit is inserted as far as possible for a secure grip.
4. To tighten the chuck, rotate the front collar clockwise until the bit is firmly secured. Do not overtighten.
5. To remove a bit, rotate the front collar counter-clockwise until the jaws open, then pull the bit out.

6. Operation

6.1. Powering On/Off and Speed Control

• To start the drill, press the trigger switch. The speed of the drill is controlled by the amount of pressure applied to the trigger.
• To stop the drill, release the trigger switch.
• The drill features two mechanical speed settings: Low Speed (0-350 RPM) for higher torque applications like driving screws, and High Speed (0-1350 RPM) for faster drilling. Select the desired speed using the speed selector switch located on top of the drill.

6.2. Forward/Reverse Switch

The forward/reverse switch is located above the trigger. Push the switch to the left for forward rotation (driving screws/drilling) and to the right for reverse rotation (removing screws). For safety, place the switch in the center position to lock the trigger and prevent accidental starting.

6.3. Clutch Settings

The clutch ring, located behind the chuck, allows you to adjust the torque output. There are 25 torque settings plus a drill mode setting. Rotate the clutch ring to the desired setting:

• Lower numbers (1-5) are for driving small screws or working with soft materials.
• Higher numbers (6-25) are for driving larger screws or working with harder materials.
• The drill symbol setting is for drilling applications, providing maximum torque without clutch slippage.
