General Safety Rules
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions Failure to follow all warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) If operating a power tools in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) 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.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.

PT-1441 User’s Manual
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control;
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charter that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, lie paperclips,
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.

unintentional starting of the machine.
The cordless drill has a keyless chuck so you do not need a key to lock the tool bit in place. Make
sure that the drill or screw bit is not skew when it is inserted and the chuck tightened.
Before inserting drill/screw bits open the jaws of the chuck by holding the lower ring of the chuck
and turn the locking ring anticlockwise. Open the chuck until you can insert the tool. Insert the
drill/screw bit all the way in and then holding the lower ring, turn the locking ring in a clockwise
direction to firmly tighten it.
To remove the tool hold the lower ring of the chuck and turn the locking ring anticlockwise.
Open the chuck until you can remove the tool
Operating Trigger
Use the operating trigger to start the machine and keep holding it for continuous operation.
The rotation speed can be varied by depressing the operating trigger. The more the trigger is
depressed, the faster rotation speed.
To switch the machine off, release the operating trigger
Forward and reverse switch
Important! The machine has to come to a complete stop before the reverse rotation lever can be
used; otherwise the machine may be damaged.
Use the forward and reverse switch to switch between clockwise (normal) and anticlockwise
rotation or vice-versa. With the forward and reverse switch in the central position the operating
trigger is locked and cannot be depressed. Put the forward and reverse switch in the central
position before you put the machine down, to avoid unintentional starting.
Torque adjustment
You can control the maximum torque applied to the drill bit with the torque control knob.
Attention! The torque control knob should only be operated when the machine is not running;
otherwise the machine may be damaged.
To set the drill to the lowest available torque setting, twist the torque control knob until the small
arrow on the drill-housing points to the “1” stamped on the torque control knob. In this position the
torque clutch will slip with light drilling resistance. The higher the number the arrow points to on the
torque control knob, the larger the maximum torque that can be applied before the torque clutch
will slip.
To set the machine to maximum available torque twist the torque control knob until the arrow
points to the drill symbol. In this position there is no slip in the torque clutch.
Select a lower torque for insertion/removal of screws to avoid damage to the work-piece (in
www.prokits.com.tw 6

PT-1441 User’s Manual
particular wooden work-pieces) or to the screw. For drilling select a higher torque setting. Do a test
first on an item which is not your final work-piece and adjust the desired torque accordingly before
you start the actual work.
Operation for working
Only use tool bits which can be securely fastened in the chuck and for which the drill has been
designed.
1. Drilling
Check whether the drill bit is correctly inserted and tightly fastened before you start the machine.
Use properly sharpened drill bits. Use screwdriver bits that are not overly worn. At the start of each
drilling operation select a lower speed. For large holes drill with a smaller drill bit first and then
enlarge the hole using a larger drill bit.
2. Drilling in Wood
For drilling in wood use a wood drill-bit. Protect or fasten the work-piece in a suitable holder. Mark
the positions of the holes to be drilled with a sharp tool or a nail. Do not apply excessive pressure
against the work-piece with the machine.
3. Drilling in Metal
For drilling in metal use a steel drill-bit. Always provide sufficient cooling with suitable
non-inflammable coolants. Protect or fasten the work-piece with a suitable holder. The work-piece
should lie flat on the work bench. Mark the positions of the holes to be drilled with a centre-punch.
Do not apply excessive pressure against the work-piece with the machine. Allow the drill to
operate at its normal operating speed.
Important! At the start of drilling select a lower speed to avoid the bit slipping away from the
desired holes location. If the drill-hole is deep, the drill-bit may become jammed in the hole. In this
event a high torque could damage the drill bit or the drill. If the bit becomes jammed, hold the
machine firmly and immediately release the On/Off trigger. Switch to anticlockwise rotation, and
use a low rotation speed to remove the jammed drill bit more easily.
4. Drilling in Plastic
For drilling in plastic use a steel drill and follow the same instructions as for drilling in wood.
5. Drilling in Stone, Brick, Masonry or similar
For drilling in walls, stone, masonry etc. use a masonry-bit. Do not put too much pressure on the
machine. Follow the same instructions as for drilling in metal.
6. Using the Drill as a Screw-driver
Before using the machine check whether the screw-bit is inserted correctly. Avoid over-tightening
screws, otherwise the screw head may be damaged or stripping of the threads may occur.

PT-1441 User’s Manual
7. Screw Insertion
Set the direction of rotation of the drill to the clockwise direction. Insert the screw-bit into the slot in
the head of the screw. Hold the screw bit perpendicular to the head of the screw, otherwise the
screw or the screw head may be damaged. Press the screw bit against the screw with a constant
pressure while driving in the screw.
When the screw is completely screwed in, hold the machine firmly and release the forward &
reverse switch, otherwise the screw or the screw head may be damaged. If the forward & reverse
switch is not released immediately a high torque could also damage the drill bit or the drill.
8. Screw Removal
Set the direction of rotation of the drill to the anticlockwise direction. Insert the screw-bit into the
slot in the head of the screw. Hold the screw-bit perpendicular to the head of the screw, otherwise
the screw or the screw head may be damaged. Press the screw bit against the screw with a
constant pressure while removing the screw.
Maintenance and Clean
Attention! Always remove the battery before carrying out any work on the machine.
To clean, always use a dry or moist, but not wet, towel. Many cleaning agents contain chemical
substances which may cause damage to the plastic parts of the machine. Therefore do not use
any strong or inflammable cleaners such as petrol, paint thinner, turpentine or similar cleaning
agents.
Always keep air ventilation holes free of dust deposits to prevent overheating.
