Technical Data

Operating Instructions

Intended Use

The machine is intended for driving in and loosening screws as well as for drilling in wood, metal and plastic.

Before Putting into Operation: Charging the Battery

? NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.

The battery charger supplied is matched to the Li-ion battery installed in the machine. Do not use another battery charger. The Li-ion battery is protected against deep discharging. When the battery is empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The tool holder no longer rotates. In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery pack may become too hot to permit charging. Allow time for the battery to cool down before recharging. When the battery pack is charged for the first time and after prolonged storage, the battery pack will accept a 100% charge after several charge and discharge cycles.

Rechargeable Battery Installation/Removal

[Figure 1: Shows a hand holding the drill and pushing a latch (labeled 6) to remove the battery pack. An arrow indicates the direction of removal.]

Hold the handle tightly and push the battery latch (6) to remove the battery. Insert the battery while observing its direction. Do not apply too much force when installing the rechargeable battery. Check the correctness of its installation.

Operation

1. ON / OFF SWITCH

[Figure 2: Illustrates the drill's trigger switch (labeled 8), indicating its function for starting and stopping the tool, and its variable speed capability.]

Depress the On/Off switch (8) to start and release it to stop your drill. The on/off switch is fitted with a brake function which stops your chuck immediately when you quickly release the switch. It is also a variable speed switch that delivers higher speed and torque with increased trigger pressure. Speed is controlled by the amount of switch trigger pressure.

⚠️ WARNING! Do not operate for long periods at low speed because excess heat will be produced internally.

2. FORWARD/REVERSE ROTATION CONTROL

The switch trigger (4) can be locked in the OFF position. This helps to reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not in use. To lock the switch trigger, place the rotation control in the center position.

⚠️ WARNING! Never change the direction of rotation when the chuck is rotating, wait until it has stopped!

3. REVERSIBLE

[Figure 3, Figure 4: Depicts the switch (labeled 4) for controlling the direction of rotation. It shows the lever in the center position (locked), left position (forward), and right position (reverse).]

For drilling and screw driving use forward rotation [➡️] (lever is moved to the left). Only use reverse rotation [⬅️] (lever is moved to the right) to remove screws or release a jammed drill bit.

4. TWO-SPEED GEAR CONTROL

[Figure 5: Shows a slide switch (labeled 3) on top of the drill for selecting between speed range I (low) and speed range II (high).]

The drill has a two-speed gear control (3) designed for drilling or driving at LOW (mark is 1) or HIGH (mark is 2) speeds. A slide switch is located on top of the drill to select either LOW or HIGH speed. When using the drill in the LOW speed range, the speed will decrease and the drill will have greater power and torque. When using the drill in the HIGH speed range, the speed will increase and the drill will have less power and torque.

• Gear I [1️⃣]: Low speed range: for screw driving or working with large drilling diameter.
• Gear II [2️⃣]: High speed range: for working with small drilling diameter.

⚠️ WARNING! To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation or the two-speed gear control.

5. CHUCK ADJUSTMENT

[Figure 6: Illustrates the chuck (labeled 1) with arrows showing how to rotate the front section to open or close the jaws for inserting or securing a drill bit.]

To open the chuck (1) jaws, rotate the front section of the chuck. Insert the drill bit between the chuck jaws and rotate the front section in the opposite direction. Ensure the drill bit is in the center of the chuck jaws. Finally, firmly rotate the front chuck section in the opposite directions. Your drill bit is now clamped in the chuck.

6. TORQUE ADJUSTMENT

[Figure 7: Shows the torque adjustment ring (labeled 2) with numbered settings (1-18) and symbols for drilling. Arrows indicate adjustment.]

(Screw driving force of your drill driver) The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment ring (2). The torque is greater when the torque adjustment ring is set on a higher setting. The torque is less when the torque adjustment ring is set on a lower setting. Make the setting as follows:

• 1 - 4: For driving small screws
• 5 - 9: For driving screws into soft material
• 10 - 14: For driving screws into soft and hard material
• 15 - 18: For driving screws into hard wood
• [Drill symbol]: For heavy drilling

7. USING THE LED LIGHT

[Figure 8: Depicts the LED light (labeled 9) at the front of the drill, illuminating the work area.]

The LED light (9) allows you to keep a clear view under less illuminated circumstances. To turn on the light, simply press the on/off switch. When you release the on/off switch, the light will go out.

8. DRILLING

When drilling into a hard smooth surface, use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. Hold the tool firmly and place the tip of the bit at the point to be drilled. Depress the switch trigger to start the tool. Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure to keep the bit rotating. Do not force or apply side pressure to elongate a hole.

A. Drilling In Wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits used for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be sharp and should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips from the flutes.

B. Drilling In Metal
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The cutting lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil.

9. TOOL PROTECTION SYSTEM

The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following conditions:

• Overloaded: The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current. In this situation, release the Trigger Switch on the tool and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the Trigger Switch again to restart.
• Overheated: Under the condition above, if the tool does not start, the Battery is overheated. In this situation, let the Tool and Battery cool before pulling the Trigger Switch again.
• Low battery voltage: The remaining Battery capacity is too low and the tool will not operate. In this situation, remove and recharge the Battery.

Problem Solution

Why Does the Drill Not Turn On When You Press the Switch?

The forward/reverse rotation control, which is on top of the trigger, is positioned in the lock function. Unlock the forward/reverse rotation control by putting it into the required rotation position. Push the trigger and the drill will start to rotate. Or if the LED light flashes at the same time you press the Switch, please charge the battery.

The Drill Stops Before the Screw is Completely Tightened. Why?

Verify the torque position of the torque adjusting ring; you can find the torque-adjusting ring between the chuck and the drill body. Position 1 is the lowest torque (screw driving force) and position 18 is the highest torque (screw driving force). Position [Drill symbol] is for drill operation. Position [Drill symbol] is for heavy drilling. Regulate the torque adjusting ring to a higher position to reach the best result.

Reasons for Different Battery Pack Working Times

Charging time problems, as above, and having not used a battery pack for a prolonged time will reduce the battery pack working time. This can be corrected after several charge and discharge operations by charging & working with your drill. Heavy working conditions such as large screws into hard wood will use up the battery pack energy faster than lighter working conditions. Do not recharge your battery pack below 0°C and above 40°C as this will affect performance.
