well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool.

2. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN

Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floors must
not be slippery due to oil or sawdust.

3. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS

Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations, or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well lit. Provide
adequate space surrounding the work area. Do not use in
environments with a potentially explosive atmosphere.

4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY

All visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.

5. STORED TOOLS

When not being used, all tools should be stored in a dry,
locked cupboard or out of the reach of children.

6. WEAR PROPER CLOTHING

wristwatches) to catch in moving parts. NONSLIP footwear
is recommended.Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

7. USE SAFETY GOGGLES (Head Protection)

Wear CE approved safety goggles at all times. Normal
spectacles only have impact resistant lenses, they are
NOT safety glasses. Also, use face or dust mask if
application is dusty and ear protectors (plugs or muffs)
during extended periods of operation.

8. NOISE LEVELS

Some types of machines may have high noise levels when
working. In such cases ear protection must be worn.

9. VIBRATION LEVELS

Hand held power tools produce different vibration levels.
You should always refer to the specifications and relevant
Health and Safety guide.

10. DUST EXTRACTION

If your tool is fitted with a dust extraction fitting, always
ensure that it is connected and being used with a dust
extractor.Vacuum cleaners can be used if suitable for the
material being extracted.

11. PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK

When working with power tools, avoid contact with any
earthed items (e.g. pipes, radiators,hobs and
refrigerators,etc.). If you are using a power tool in
extreme conditions (e.g. high humidity or generating
metal dust), always use an RCD (residual current device)
at the power socket.

12. STAY ALERT

Always watch what you are doing and use common sense.
Do not operate a power tool when you are tired or under
the influence of alcohol or drugs.

13. WHEN WORKING OUT OF DOORS

Only use extension leads designed for that purpose.

14. ACCESS TO MAINS SOCKET

If a stationary machine is fitted with a moulded plug and
cable, the machine should not be positioned so that
access to the mains socket is restricted.

15. DISCONNECT POWER TO THE TOOL

When not in use, before servicing and when changing
accessories such as cutters, etc.

16. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING

Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before

was not designed.

28. DO NOT FORCE TOOL

It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.

29. DIRECTION OF FEED

writing and we will advise you.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Residual Risk. Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain extensive

instructions on safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain residual risk which can not be
completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always be operated with caution !

ADDED SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CORDLESS POWER TOOLS

Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all times when the
drill is being used.

WARNING

For your own safety do not attempt to use your drill until the battery is fully charged.
Remember the drill is always in an operating condition as it does not need to be

connected to a power supply.When not in use place the direction of rotation switch in
the neutral position.

Before drilling check that there are no hidden hazards such as electrical cables, water
or gas pipes running below the surface - use a metal/voltage detector.

Do not expose either the drill or charger to rain or water.
Do not overcharge the battery (more than 6 hours) as this could damage the battery

cells.

HEALTH AND SAFETY FOR BATTERIES
General: Do not put in fire or mutilate - cells may burst or release toxic materials. Do

not short circuit cells, may cause burns.

DISPOSAL

Do not mutilate batteries, corrosive electrolyte will be released.
Do not incinerate - danger of explosion and release of toxic fumes.
Do not dispose of batteries or cells in a charged condition.
Expired nickel-cadmium batteries must be recycled/disposed of in accordance with

the appropriate regulations or legislation. They should be returned to your local
warranty agent/stockist.

OPERATION & USE

BATTERY CHARGING

To charge the battery pack it must first be removed
from the drill. To release the battery pack squeeze
the grips located on either side of the battery
casing and gently pull the battery pack from the
housing (fig.1). Connect the charger plug to the
charging base and insert the battery into the
charging base (fig.2). Plug the charger plug into a
suitable 13Amp three pin socket. The green light
indicator will illuminate to show power at the
charger and the red light will illuminate indicting
that charging is taking place. During charging the
battery may become warm to the touch - this is
normal. The battery charge time is approx. 3-5
hours, after which the battery should be removed.
The battery pack can then be removed and used to
power the tool. To refit the battery pack to the drill
push firmly until the battery pack locates and snaps
into place.

NOTE:
The charger WILL NOT automatically switch off

when the battery is fully charged and the red
charge indicator will remain on. Switch off when
fully charged. DO NOT EXCEED 6 HOURS,
OTHERWISE THE BATTERY MAY BE DAMAGED.

NOTE:
The battery was discharged after manufacturing

and will therefore require five to ten
charges/discharges before it reaches its full
capacity.

INSTALLING AND REMOVING BITS

This drill is fitted with a keyless chuck, this means
that a chuck key is not required to secure the drill
or screwdriver bit. Place the drill bit into the chuck
as far as it will go, then hand tighten.

Short screwdriver bits need only be inserted to the
depth of the hexagon shank before tightening the
chuck by hand. Alternatively grip part ✪✌of the
chuck, (fig.4) and slowly run the drill clockwise
until the chuck grips the bit, then hand tighten.

DIRECTION SWITCH

This switch determines the direction of rotation of
the chuck, i.e. clockwise or anticlockwise.

To alter the direction of rotation, stop the drill and
push ✮✌, (fig.5), switch to the left or right.When
the direction switch is in the ‘forward’ position the
chuck will rotate clockwise when viewed from the
handle end of the drill. When the switch is in the
‘reverse’ position the chuck will rotate
anticlockwise when viewed from the handle. Before
operation check that the switch is set in the required
position. Do not change the direction of rotation
until the chuck comes to a complete stop.

When the drill is not in use move the direction
switch to the neutral position (the middle setting).

OPERATION & USE

TRIGGER (FIG.7)

When the trigger is depressed the chuck will
rotate (provided the direction switch is set in
the forward or reverse position). This trigger
switch is electronic which enables the user to
vary the speed continuously in both gears.The
speed varies according to how far the trigger
switch is depressed, the further it is depressed
the faster the chuck will rotate and the lighter it
is depressed, the slower it will rotate.

TORQUE CONTROL

By turning the collar ✬✌, (fig.8) it is possible
to adjust the amount of torque.

The torque control for example prevents the
heads of small diameter screws being twisted
off when correctly set (fig.8).

HOLDING THE DRILL

The drill casing is designed to be held
comfortably in two ways.

1. By the handle, (fig.9).

2. Or, by the in-line support grip (fig.10).

OPERATION & USE

DRILLING WOOD AND PLASTIC

To prevent splitting around the drill holes on the reverse side, place a piece of scrap timber under the
material to be drilled.

DRILLING METAL

Mark the point to be drilled with a centre punch to help the drill bit tip to locate.

SCREWDRIVING

To prevent slip or damage to the screwhead, match the screwdriver bit to the screwhead size.To remove
screws move the direction switch to the reversing position and apply pressure to the screwhead and
depress the trigger slowly.

MAINTENANCE

Neither the drill or charger require any special maintenance.
Keep both the drill and the charger in a dry place where they will not be exposed to frost or direct

sunlight.

Please note all repairs/adjustments
should be carried out by a qualified person.
