Operating Instructions

Always ensure the correct head is securely attached and the battery is fully charged before operation. Refer to the specific instructions for each head for optimal performance.

Drill/Screwdriver Head

Insert the appropriate drill bit or screwdriver bit into the chuck and tighten securely. Select the desired torque setting for screwdriving or drill mode for drilling. Apply steady pressure and maintain control during operation.

Sander Head

Attach the appropriate sanding sheet to the base of the sander head. Ensure the surface to be sanded is clean and free of obstructions. Move the sander in smooth, overlapping passes for an even finish.
