Key Components:

• Chuck: Holds drill bits and screwdriver bits.

• Variable Speed Trigger: Controls the rotational speed of the chuck.
• Forward/Reverse Switch: Changes the direction of rotation.
• Battery Pack: Provides power to the drill.

Setup

1. Charging the Battery

Before first use, fully charge the 18V Li-Ion battery pack. Refer to the separate battery charger manual for detailed charging instructions. Ensure the charger is compatible with the 1.5Ah Li-Ion battery.

2. Installing and Removing the Battery Pack

• To Install: Align the battery pack with the receptacle on the bottom of the drill handle. Slide the battery pack into the handle until it clicks securely into place.
• 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 handle.

3. Installing and Removing Drill Bits/Accessories

• To Install: Rotate the chuck collar counter-clockwise until the chuck jaws are open wide enough to insert the bit. Insert the bit fully into the chuck. Rotate the chuck collar clockwise to tighten the jaws firmly around the bit. For best results, hand-tighten the chuck, then use the drill's power to give it a final tighten by briefly pressing the trigger.
• To Remove: Rotate the chuck collar counter-clockwise to loosen the jaws and remove the bit.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off and Variable Speed Control

The drill is equipped with a variable speed trigger. To start the drill, press the trigger. To stop, release the trigger. The speed of rotation is controlled by the amount of pressure applied to the trigger; pressing harder increases the speed (0-650 RPM).

2. Forward/Reverse Switch

The forward/reverse switch is located above the trigger. Push the switch to the left for forward rotation (drilling/screwing in) and to the right for reverse rotation (removing screws). Ensure the switch is in the center position to lock the trigger and prevent accidental starting when not in use.

3. Clutch Settings and Modes

The clutch collar allows you to select the appropriate torque setting for screwdriving or switch to drilling/hammer drilling modes. The 10-position clutch provides precise control.

• Screwdriving: Rotate the clutch collar to one of the numbered settings (1-10). Lower numbers are for smaller screws and softer materials, higher numbers for larger screws and harder materials. This prevents over-driving screws and stripping screw heads.
• Drilling: Rotate the clutch collar to the drill symbol. This bypasses the clutch for continuous power, ideal for drilling into wood or metal.
• Hammer Drilling: Rotate the clutch collar to the hammer drill symbol. This mode combines rotary action with a hammering action, suitable for drilling into masonry or concrete.

Maximum Drilling Capacity:

• Wood: 25mm
• Steel: 10mm

Maximum Torque: 30 Nm.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

• Keep the ventilation slots of the tool clean to prevent overheating.

• Clean the chuck jaws regularly to ensure proper grip on bits.

2. Battery Care

• Store battery packs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Do not store battery packs in a discharged state for extended periods. Charge them periodically.
• Do not attempt to open or modify the battery pack.
