Key Features:

• Up to 475 in-lbs. of torque for various applications.
• 1/2-inch keyless ratcheting chuck for a greater range of accessory options.
• 2-speed gearbox (0-450 / 0-1,750 RPM) for optimized speed and control.
• 24-position clutch for easy torque adjustment.
• Integrated LED light for enhanced visibility.
• Convenient on-board bit storage.
• Compatible with all HART 20V batteries (battery and charger not included).

Setup

This drill/driver is a bare tool, meaning the battery and charger are sold separately. Ensure you have a compatible HART 20V battery and charger before proceeding.

1. Charging the Battery: Fully charge your HART 20V battery using a compatible HART charger. Refer to your battery and charger manuals for specific charging instructions.
2. Installing the Battery: Align the charged battery pack with the base of the drill/driver handle. Slide the battery into place until it clicks securely. To remove, press the release button on the battery pack and slide it off.
3. Installing a Drill Bit/Driver Bit: Open the 1/2-inch keyless ratcheting chuck by rotating it counter-clockwise. Insert the desired drill bit or driver bit into the chuck, ensuring it is centered. Rotate the chuck clockwise to tighten it firmly around the bit.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off: Squeeze the trigger to activate the drill. The integrated LED light will illuminate when the trigger is pressed, providing visibility to your work area. Release the trigger to turn off the drill.
2. Adjusting Speed: The drill features a 2-speed gearbox. Use the speed selector switch (typically located on top of the drill) to choose between low speed (0-450 RPM) for high torque applications and high speed (0-1,750 RPM) for faster drilling.
3. Setting Torque: The 24-position clutch allows you to adjust the torque output. Rotate the clutch collar to the desired setting. Lower settings are for driving small screws or working with soft materials, while higher settings are for larger screws or harder materials. The drill setting is for drilling holes.
4. Forward/Reverse Rotation: Use the forward/reverse selector switch (located above the trigger) to change the direction of rotation. Push it to the left for forward (drilling/driving) and to the right for reverse (removing screws). Center position locks the trigger.
5. Using On-Board Bit Storage: The drill includes a convenient slot for storing an extra bit, ensuring you always have a spare readily available during your work.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the tool's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Keep the ventilation openings clear of dust and debris.
• Storage: Store the drill/driver in a dry, secure location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the battery pack before storing for extended periods.
• Bit Care: Ensure drill bits and driver bits are clean and sharp for optimal performance. Replace worn or damaged bits.
