CHARGING SAFETY

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS and

warnings on the battery and charg­er before charging the battery.

2. CHARGE ONLY USING THE SUP­PLIED CHARGER AND BAT­TERY. Do not use with other batter-

ies, chargers or drills.

3. DO NOT EXPOSE BATTERY OR
CHARGER TO WET OR RAINY
CONDITIONS. Moisture greatly

increases the risk of a shock haz­ard.

4. DO NOT TOUCH BATTERY
POLES with any conductive materi-

als. Touching any two poles at the

same time causes an electrical
short condition and can cause
sparks, electrical shock or fire.

5. DO NOT STORE BATTERY WITH
CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS.

Storing the battery in a box of
screws or nails can cause shorting
across the battery poles.

6. DO NOT THROW BATTERY IN
FIRE. Combustion of some of the

batteries’ component materials can
cause toxic fumes and possible
explosion.

7. IF CHARGER LIGHT FAILS TO
COME ON check the incoming

power supply. If power source is
okay, then the fuse inside the
charger needs replacement.
Charger should be serviced by a
qualified electrical technician only.

8. CHARGER HAS A POLARIZED
PLUG (one prong is wider than the

other). Do not attempt to modify the
plug. Modifying the plug will result
in a safety hazard and will void the
warranty.

9. CHARGER IS DESIGNED TO
OPERATE AT 110-120 VOLTS.

Never try to plug into any circuit that
is not 110-120 volts. Never modify
or change the plug that is attached
to the charger unit to attempt to
plug into 220 volt. This can cause
serious electrical damage to the
unit, possible fire or explosion.

BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED
OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.

Consult your local Yellow Pages direc­tory under the category “Recycling” to
locate a battery recycler in your area.

BEFORE YOU START

The battery in your new cordless power
tool will not be fully charged when you
receive it. To maximize the storage capac­ity of the battery it should be completely
discharged, then fully recharged 3-5 times.

For optimal life span, completely discharge
the battery before recharging. Follow the
instructions below to charge your battery.

Battery charging with the 1 hour
“Smart” charger (1 piece charger):

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate

110/120V outlet.

2. Insert the battery into the charger.

The battery fits into the oval recess in
only one way. Do not force the bat­tery. Insert until it locks into place.

3. The green light over the word “OFF”

on the control panel should come on.
If it doesn’t, make certain the wall out­let you are plugged into is working. If
the outlet power is okay, the fuse
inside the charger may have blown.
Fuses should be replaced by a quali­fied electrical technician.

4. To begin charging, press the “SET”

button. A steady red light over the
word “ON” should come on indicating
the battery is being charged.

5. When the battery is fully charged, the

red light will go off and the unit will
stop charging. Remove the battery
from the charger upon completion of
the charge cycle.

Never leave a battery unattend­ed while charging. While charg­ing will make the battery and
charging unit warm, if it
becomes hot to the touch, dis­connect the charger immediate­ly. There is a possibility of fire
hazard. Have the battery and
charging unit checked by a qual­ified electrical service techni­cian.

CHANGING ATTACHMENTS

CHANGING THE BATTERY

Fig 2. Changing the heads.

The accessory heads can be easily and
quickly changed. On the left hand side of
the motor housing there is a slider switch
which locks the head in place. The head
has three tabs which engage with slots in
the motor body. One of the tabs is larger
than the other two which ensure proper ori­entation of the head.

To change heads, move the slider switch
to the unlocked position and pull the head
straight out of the slots. Select the new
head and orient the tabs and insert into the
motor body. Push it in all the way until it
seats, then move the slider switch to the
locked position.

Test to make sure the new head is
engaged properly by quickly cycling the
motor. When testing the power carver be
aware that it is spring loaded and will only
oscillate when it is pushed against the
workpiece.

Insert the battery into the handle of the
motor body so the long end is forward. The
battery will only install in one orientation.
Make sure the securing clasps on either
side of the drill base engage with the clips
on the battery compartment.

DRILL OPERATION

Inserting and Removing Bits
and Drivers

1. Set the direction switch, located just

above the trigger, so that it is in the
center locked position.

2. Hold the chuck by the collar while

turning the sleeve (the forward sec-

tion). See Figure 3. This will cause

the three chuck jaws located inside
the recess to open or close depend­ing upon the direction.

3. When the jaws are at the approximate

diameter of the bit or driver, insert the
shank end of the bit or driver into the
jaw opening.

4. Turn the sleeve clockwise until it tight-

ens around the bit or driver. Never
“power tighten” which is holding the
sleeve while running the drill. This
can cause a loose grip on the bit or
driver and potential damage to chuck
jaws. Check for tightness periodically
while using the tool.

5. To release the bit or driver, hold the

chuck collar, and turn the sleeve
counterclockwise.

Operating this equipment has the
potential to propel debris into the air
which can cause eye injury. Always
wear safety glasses or goggles when
operating equipment. Be certain the
safety glasses you wear meet the
appropriate standards of the
American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).

DRILL OPERATION,

CONT’D

Operating the drill

1. Set the Direction Switch for the

desired rotation of the bit or driver.
The direction switch is the sliding
switch located just above the trigger.
When looking down on the drill, push­ing the switch all the way to the right
will give a counterclockwise rotation
(normally for loosening fasteners and
bits), all the way to the left will be
clockwise (normally for tightening fas­teners and drilling holes). When the
switch is in the center position it locks
the switch to avoid accidentally start­ing the drill.

2. Set the Torque Setting Ring located

just behind the chuck. This ring has

Fig 4. Location of controls.

numbers from 1 to 5 on it, and a point­er indicator embossed on the drill
case. Set on 1 for very light applica­tions such as driving screws into dry­wall. Use the higher settings up to 5
for denser woods and materials. Use
the drill bit symbol when boring holes.
Using the proper torque setting will
ensure that the fastener is not driven
too deeply, damaging the surface
material, or in the worst case,
stripped out of the hole due to over­torquing.

3. Pull the trigger to activate the drill.

This drill is variable speed from 0 ­750 RPM, therefore, the more you
pull on the trigger, the faster the
motor and chuck will rotate.

Set the direction switch, located just above
the trigger, so that it is in the center locked
position. Install the reciprocating saw head
onto the motor body. Install the reciprocat­ing saw blade into the saw. The teeth of
the blade can be positioned so they are
pointed up or down, depending upon the
type of cutting operation to be performed.
Loosen the Allen®screw which is
accessed through the slot on the right

hand side of the head. See Figure 5.

Insert the blade between the retaining
plate and the flat, being sure to engage the
hole in the blade on the pin. Hold the blade
in position with your other hand while tight­ening the Allen® screw to retain the blade.

Refer to the Grizzly catalog or website for
other types of blades suitable for a wide
variety of materials.

The reciprocating saw is the perfect tool for
doing tough cutout work. If cutting through
sheathing, a small pilot hole can be used
to provide a place for the blade to start. In
softer materials such as drywall, the point­ed tip of the blade can be carefully
punched into the drywall to give a starting
point for the cut. A typical cutting operation

is shown in Figure 6.

If cutting to a pattern, always cut to the out­side of the pattern line. Push the saw
evenly at a rate suitable for the material
being cut. If the motor should begin to
slow, ease up on the cutting pressure.

RECIPROCATING SAW OPERATION

Operating this equipment has the
potential to propel debris into the air
which can cause eye injury. Always
wear safety glasses or goggles when
operating equipment. Be certain the
safety glasses you wear meet the
appropriate standards of the
American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).

Set the direction switch, located just above
the trigger, so that it is in the center locked
position. Install the detail sanding head
onto the motor body. Install the desired
sandpaper grit onto the triangular sanding
pad. Consult the Grizzly catalog or website
for ordering information for sandpaper. The
sandpaper attaches by means of a hook
and loop material. Be certain the replace­ment sandpaper purchased is of this type.

The oscillating motion of the triangular
sanding pad provides fast cutting action for
detail and intricate sanding. The detail
sander is excellent for hard-to-reach
places like the corners of a picture frame.

Both wood and metal materials can be
sanded with this device as long as the
appropriate types of sandpaper are
installed. Always be sure to check the
sandpaper for loading and sharpness of
grit. Change the sandpaper when the
paper loses its surface, or when the edges
become torn or loose.

DETAIL SANDER OPERATION

Operating this equipment has the
potential to propel debris into the air
which can cause eye injury. Always
wear safety glasses or goggles when
operating equipment. Be certain the
safety glasses you wear meet the
appropriate standards of the
American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).

Set the direction switch, located just above
the trigger, so that it is in the center locked
position. Install the power carving head
onto the motor body. Install one of the four
supplied chisels depending upon the type
of carving work you want to perform.
Consult the Grizzly catalog or website for
ordering replacement chisels. The chisel
slides into the collet in only one direction.

See Figure 8. Seat the chisel firmly in the

bottom of the collet, then tighten the collar
of the collet.

The oscillating motion of the chisel is only
activated when the chisel is against the
workpiece. Test the chisel action on a
scrap piece before beginning. Experiment
with the amount of pressure necessary to
take the desired cuts, and the orientation
of the carving chisel and motor body during
the chiseling process.

For best results make certain the chisels
are sharpened periodically. Sharpening
gouge style chisels does require some
special sharpening expertise. Refer to one
of the several reference books on chisel
sharpening, or locate a local sharpening
service.

POWER CARVER OPERATION

Operating this equipment has the
potential to propel debris into the air
which can cause eye injury. Always
wear safety glasses or goggles when
operating equipment. Be certain the
safety glasses you wear meet the
appropriate standards of the
American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).

Set the direction switch, located just above
the trigger, so that it is in the center locked
position. Install the angle grinder on the
motor body. Install the grinding wheel on
the grinder. Use the supplied wrench to
tighten the mounting ring. There is a rota­tion lock on the side of the grinder head
which will limit movement while you tighten

the bolt. See Figure 10. Consult the

Grizzly catalog or website for ordering
information for replacement grinding discs.

The angle grinder can be used in a couple
of different ways. The edge of the disc can
be used as a cutoff tool as shown in

Figure 11. Or the face of the disc can be

used to grind a surface, such as removing
a layer of rust from a metal surface.

Maintenance

Your cordless power tool will give you hun­dreds of hours of operation time before
ever needing service. The electrical com­ponents of this cordless drill are not user
serviceable. Repair should always be
undertaken by a qualified electrical repair
technician.

Keep the motor body and accessory heads
free from dirt and grease. Always store
them in a dry place, preferably in the case
that is supplied.

The battery will require periodic recharg­ing, and eventually replacement after it
has exceeded its recharge life (approxi­mately 800-1000 recharge cycles). You
will notice extended charging times or
shortened operation time as the battery

experiences more cycles. Battery must

be recycled or disposed of properly.

Refer to the Grizzly catalog for replace­ment batteries.

OPERATING TIPS AND MAINTENANCE

Disassembly and improper reassem­bly of this device can result in electri­cal shock danger. Always have this
device serviced by an qualified elec­trical repair technician. Serious injury
will result.

Operating Guides and Tips

Avoid overloading the accessory

heads. Do not apply excessive pres-

sure to the tool while using. If the
speed drops abnormally, decrease
pressure immediately. When drilling,
if the bit stops abruptly or becomes
blocked, release the trigger at once.
Reverse the direction to free the drill
bit.

Ensure the safety of the workplace.

Clear the work area of all parts and
debris that may cause injury by flying
objects. Securely fix the object to be
worked on in a vise or otherwise
clamp to avoid injury. Do not attempt
to hold workpiece by hand.

Inspect the cordless tool before use.

Run the tool before using to ensure
all parts are running smoothly and
there are no abnormal sounds or
sparks. If any defect is found, have
unit serviced.

Know your work site. Take care to make

sure the material being worked on is
not supporting another structure, or
that there are no obstructions.
Before drilling or sawing. check
behind walls for wires, other electri­cal hazards, or plumbing.

Use accessories properly. Use the low-

est possible torque setting when dri­ving fasteners. This will increase the
life span of the driving bit and pre­vent damage to the fastener.
