Attaching and Removing the Battery
To attach the battery, slide it onto the base of the drill/driver until it clicks securely into place. To remove, press the release buttons on the sides of the battery pack and slide it off.
Installing Drill Bits and Accessories
The drill/driver features a keyless chuck for quick and easy bit changes. To install a bit:
- Rotate the chuck counter-clockwise until the jaws are open wide enough to insert the bit.
- Insert the drill bit or accessory into the chuck.
- Rotate the chuck clockwise to tighten the jaws firmly around the bit. Ensure the bit is centered and secure.

Operating
Powering On/Off and Speed Control
The drill/driver is activated by pressing the trigger switch. The speed is controlled by the amount of pressure applied to the trigger; pressing it further increases the speed. Release the trigger to turn off the tool.

Adjusting Torque Settings
The torque setting ring, located behind the chuck, allows you to adjust the amount of rotational force. Select a lower torque setting for driving small screws into soft materials and a higher setting for larger screws or harder materials. The drill mode bypasses the clutch for maximum power when drilling.

Selecting Gear Speed
The drill/driver has two mechanical gear speeds, selected via a switch on top of the tool. Gear 1 provides lower speed and higher torque, ideal for driving screws or drilling large holes. Gear 2 provides higher speed and lower torque, suitable for faster drilling of smaller holes.

Integrated LED Light and Battery Indicator
An integrated LED light illuminates the work area when the trigger is pressed, improving visibility in dimly lit spaces. The battery indicator lights on the battery pack show the remaining charge level.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean the ventilation slots and the tool housing with a soft brush or compressed air. Do not use water or chemical cleaning agents. Keep the chuck jaws free of dust and debris.
