POWER TOOL SAFETY
!
WARNING: Read all safety warnings
and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.

POWER TOOL SAFETY
PERSONAL SAFETY – cont’d
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the blade may contact its
own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a
fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING
!
For safety reasons, the operator must
read the sections of this Owner’s Manual
entitled "GENERAL SAFETY
WARNINGS", "POWER TOOL SAFETY",
"SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES", "BATTERY
& CHARGER SAFETY" and "SYMBOLS"
before using this drill.
Verify the following every time the drill is
used:
1. Safety glasses, safety goggles, or
face shield is being worn.
2. Hearing protection and dust mask
are being worn when drilling in
concrete.
3. The chuck has not worked loose on
the spindle.
4. The bit is in good condition, and is
properly tightened into the chuck.
Failure to observe these safety rules will
significantly increase the risk of injury.
WARNING
!
DRILLING
When drilling into smooth, hard surfaces such
as metal, 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.
The workpiece to be drilled should be secured in
a vice or with clamps to keep it from turning as
the drill bit rotates (Fig. 13).
1. Check the drill bit to make sure it is firmly
locked into the drill chuck, and verify that
the forward/reverse switch is in the forward
position.
2. Set the torque clutch to the drilling position.
3. Hold the drill firmly with both hands
whenever possible. Use one hand to grasp
the handle and switch end the other to to
grasp the body of the drill.
NOTE: Make sure the hand placed on the
body of the drill does not cover the air
vents. Covering these air vents will reduce
motor cooling, and possibly lead to
overheating the motor.
4. While holding the drill firmly, place the point
of the drill bit at the point to be drilled.
Squeeze the switch trigger to start the drill.
NOTE: Always use a higher drill speed
when drilling small holes. Use a slower drill
speed when drilling large holes.
5. Move the drill bit into the workpiece
applying only enough pressure to keep the
bit cutting. Do not force the drill bit or apply
sideways pressure to elongate the hole.
WARNING: Be prepared for binding and
bit breakthrough. When these situations
occur, the drill bit has a tendency to grab the
workpiece. This action will kick the drill
opposite to the direction of the drill bit
rotation, and could cause loss of control
when breaking through material as you
complete drilling the hole. If you are not
prepared, this loss of control can result in
serious injury.
When drilling metals, use light oil on the drill bit
to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong
the life of the drill bit and improve the cutting
action. If the bit jams in the workpiece, or if the
drill stalls, release the trigger switch
immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece

DRILLING – cont’d
DRIVING SCREWS
When driving screws, care must be taken to use
the bit that correctly fits the screw being driven.
Make sure you use the largest bit size that will
properly fit into the head of the screw.
1. Select the correct screwdriver bit for the
screw being driven.
2. Fasten the screwdriver bit into the chuck,
making sure the flat sides of the bit are
gripped by the chuck jaws.
3. Set the torque clutch to the appropriate
setting, based on the chart on Page 12.
NOTE: If the workpiece material is
particularly soft or porous, set the torque
clutch to a lower setting to avoid
overdriving the screw.
4. If the screw is driven too far into the
workpiece before the clutch releases, set
the clutch to a lower setting, and do not pull
the trigger switch fully back. If the screw is
not driven far enough into the workpiece,
set the clutch to a higher setting.
NOTE: Do not continue to drive the screw
once the clutch has released. This causes
unnecessary wear of the clutch.
REMOVING A CHUCK
1. Remove the battery pack from the drill.
2. Insert a 5/16" (8 mm) or larger hex key (1)
into the chuck (2) and tighten the chuck
jaws securely (Fig. 14). Make sure each of
the chuck jaws (3) is seated on the flat
surfaces of the hex key.
3. Tap the hex key sharply with a mallet (4) in
a clockwise direction. This action will
loosen the screw in the chuck for easy
removal.
4. Open the chuck jaws and remove the hex
key.
5. Open the chuck jaws as far as possible.
6. Remove the chuck screw using a
#2 screwdriver (Fig. 15).
NOTE: Turn the screw CLOCKWISE to
remove it. This screw has a left-handed
thread.

REMOVING THE CHUCK – cont’d
7. Insert the hex key into the chuck and
tighten jaws of chuck securely (Fig. 16).
Tap the hex key sharply with a mallet in a
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE direction. This
will loosen the chuck on the spindle. The
chuck can now be unscrewed and removed
from the spindle by hand.
RETIGHTENING A LOOSE CHUCK
After installing a chuck that has previously been
removed, the chuck may become loose on the
spindle and develop a wobble. Also, the chuck
screw may become loose, causing the chuck
jaws to bind and prevent them from closing. To
tighten the chuck, follow these steps:
1. Insert the hex key into the chuck and
tighten the chuck securely.
2. Tap the hex key sharply with a mallet in a
CLOCKWISE direction (Fig. 17). This will
tighten the chuck on the spindle.
3. Open the chuck jaws and remove the hex
key.
4. Tighten the chuck screw using a #2
screwdriver.
NOTE: Turn the screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE to tighten it. This screw has a
left-handed thread.

MAINTENANCE
NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERY
MAINTENANCE
Nickel-cadmium batteries are powerful, rugged
and provide hundreds of charge/discharge
cycles if properly maintained and periodically
"exercised". Exercising is required to recover
most of the capacity lost during usage. This
process reduces the size of the active cadmium
hydroxide crystals on the anode, to expose the
entire surface area and restore capacity.
How to care for your Nickel-cadmium
battery
1. Never allow a battery to freeze.
2. Do NOT charge a battery when the work
area or the battery temperature is at or
below 0°C (32° F) or above
45°C (113° F). Allow it to sit at room
temperature for at least 30 minutes before
charging.
3. Do not charge a battery if it feels warm to
the touch.
4. Never charge a battery after a short use.
Let it sit until it is needed again.
5. Never charge the battery until the tool in
which it is being used cannot produce
useful work.
HOW TO EXERCISE A NICKEL-CADMIUM
BATTERY
NOTE: Ni-Cd and Ni-Mh batteries have a self
discharge rate of approximately 1% per day.
The self discharge rate depends upon the
temperature.
1. Every two months or after 30
charge/discharge cycles, whichever
comes first, fully discharge your battery.
To fully discharge the battery, place it in
the tool that it came with and work with the
tool until it nearly stops and no longer
produces useful action.
2. If the tool came in a kit with a worklight,
insert the battery into the light. Turn the
switch ON and leave it ON until the
filament is cherry red.
3. Let the battery rest for 30 minutes at room
temperature 21° C (70° F) before
charging.
4. Charge the fully discharged battery for
approximately 1 hour at 21° C (70° F).
