4. Setup
4.1 Battery Installation and Removal
This tool requires a 20V Lithium-Ion battery and a compatible charger, both sold separately.
- To Install: Align the battery pack with the battery port on the base of the drill handle. Slide the battery into the port until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is fully seated.
- To Remove: Press the battery release button (usually located on the battery pack itself) and slide the battery pack out of the tool.
4.2 Charging the Battery
Refer to the instruction manual provided with your 20V Lithium-Ion battery charger for proper charging procedures. Always use a compatible charger for your battery pack.
4.3 Installing and Removing Drill Bits/Accessories
- To Install: Rotate the chuck counter-clockwise to open the chuck jaws. Insert the drill bit or accessory fully into the chuck. Rotate the chuck clockwise to tighten the jaws securely around the bit. For best grip, ensure the bit is centered.
- To Remove: Rotate the chuck counter-clockwise to loosen the jaws and remove the bit.
5. Operation
5.1 Powering On/Off
The drill is activated by pressing the trigger switch. The speed is variable depending on the pressure applied to the trigger. Release the trigger to turn the drill off.
5.2 Forward/Reverse Rotation
A forward/reverse selector switch is located above the trigger. Push the switch to the left for forward rotation (drilling/fastening) and to the right for reverse rotation (removing screws/bits). Ensure the switch is in the center position to lock the trigger and prevent accidental startup.
5.3 Speed Selection
The drill features a 2-speed mechanical gear selector switch, typically located on top of the drill housing.
- Gear 1 (Low Speed, High Torque): For heavy-duty drilling, driving large fasteners, or when maximum torque is required (0-500rpm).
- Gear 2 (High Speed, Low Torque): For fast drilling in wood, plastic, or light metal, and for smaller fasteners (0-2000rpm).
Always select the appropriate speed before starting the drill. Do not change gears while the drill is running.
5.4 Torque and Mode Selection
The torque adjustment collar is located behind the chuck. Rotate the collar to select the desired torque setting or operating mode.
- Torque Settings (1-22): For driving screws. Select a lower setting for smaller screws or softer materials, and a higher setting for larger screws or harder materials.
- Drill Mode (Drill Bit Icon): For general drilling without impact.
- Impact Drill Mode (Hammer Icon): For drilling into masonry or concrete, utilizing the impact function (30000bpm).
5.5 LED Work Light
The integrated LED work light automatically illuminates when the trigger is pressed, providing visibility in dimly lit work areas.
