3. Setup

3.1 Charging the Battery

Before first use, fully charge the 20V 1.5 AH lithium-ion battery. The battery features indicator lights to show its charge status.

1. Connect the charger to a standard power outlet.
2. Slide the battery pack onto the charger until it clicks into place.
3. Observe the indicator lights on the battery:
   • Red lights indicate charging in progress.
   • Green lights indicate a full charge.
4. Once fully charged, disconnect the charger from the power outlet and remove the battery.

3.2 Attaching and Removing the Battery Pack

• To Attach: Align the battery pack with the base of the drill handle and slide it in until it clicks securely into place.
• To Remove: Press the battery pack release button located at the front of the battery and slide the battery pack off the drill.

3.3 Installing and Changing Drill Bits

The drill features a 3/8" keyless chuck for quick and easy bit changes.

1. Ensure the drill is off and the forward/reverse switch is in the center (locked) position.
2. Grip the rear collar of the chuck firmly with one hand and rotate the front collar counter-clockwise with the other hand until the chuck jaws are open wide enough for the bit.
3. Insert the desired drill bit or screwdriver bit into the chuck, ensuring it is seated as far as possible.
4. Rotate the front collar clockwise to tighten the chuck jaws securely around the bit. Hand-tighten firmly.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Variable Speed Control

The drill features a variable speed trigger and a 2-speed gear switch for optimal control across different applications.

• Speed On/Off Control Trigger: The drill speed is controlled by the amount of pressure applied to the trigger. Pressing lightly results in lower speed, while pressing fully increases the speed.
• 2-Speed Gear Switch:
  • Position 1 (Low Speed, 0-350 RPM): Ideal for driving screws and applications requiring high torque and precise control.
  • Position 2 (High Speed, 0-1350 RPM): Suitable for drilling into wood, metal, and other materials where faster rotation is needed.

4.2 Torque Adjustment Ring

The torque adjustment ring allows you to set the amount of rotational force (torque) the drill applies. This prevents over-driving screws or damaging materials.

• The ring has 18+1 settings. Numbers 1-18 are for driving screws, with higher numbers indicating greater torque.
• The drill symbol setting is for drilling applications, providing maximum torque.
• Rotate the ring to select the appropriate torque setting for your task. Start with a lower setting and increase if needed.

4.3 Forward/Reverse Switch

The forward/reverse switch controls the direction of rotation and also acts as a trigger lock.

• Push the switch to the left for forward rotation (for driving screws and drilling).
• Push the switch to the right for reverse rotation (for removing screws or backing out bits).
• Place the switch in the center position to lock the trigger, preventing accidental starts. Always engage the lock when changing bits or storing the drill.

4.4 LED Worklight

The integrated LED worklight illuminates your work area, improving visibility in dimly lit spaces. It activates automatically when the trigger is pressed.

4.5 General Usage Tips

• Always wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection, when operating the drill.
• Secure your workpiece to prevent it from moving during drilling or driving.
• Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the drill.
• For drilling, start with a pilot hole if necessary, especially in hard materials or near edges.
• When driving screws, select the correct bit type and size to prevent stripping the screw head.
