General safety instructions for handling
power tools

WARNING. Read all safety warnings and

all 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.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.

This unit may not be used by people (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, with a lack
of experience and without the appropriate knowledge, unless
they are supervised by someone who is responsible for their
safety or have been instructed by such a person with regard
to how the unit is to be operated.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the device.

1. Work area safety
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.

MODEL: 24VACH PLU: 44624 03/2015

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 tool 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 personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust

masks, nonskid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce the
risk of personal injuries.

c. 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 energising 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

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

g. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and

grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe handling

and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

h. 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 tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

MODEL: 24VACH PLU: 44624 03/2015

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, 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.

5. Battery tool use and care
a) 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.

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, 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.

d) 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.

6. General safety information for battery-powered

drill/drivers.

Service
a. 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.

7. Drill safety warnings:
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.

Loss of control can cause personal injury.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting

accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.

8. Safety notes for battery/charger.
a. Keep the charger away from rain or damp

conditions. Water entering into the charger will increase

the risk of an electrical shock.

b. Only use chargers recommended by the

manufacturer to recharge the battery. There is a risk

of fire if it is used with other batteries.

c. Never use to recharge third-party batteries. The

charger is only designed to charge the supplied batteries
(Li-Ion) using the voltages specified in the Technical Data.
Otherwise there is a risk of fire or explosion.

d. Keep the charger clean. Contamination will increase

the risk of an electrical shock.

e. Check the charger, cable and plug each time you

use the unit. Do not use the charger if you find any
damage. Never open the charger up yourself, have
it repaired by a qualified specialist only and with
original replacement parts. A damaged charger, cable

or plug will increase the risk of an electrical shock.

f. Never operate the charger on a surface that will

burn easily (for example, paper, textiles etc) or in
a flammable environment. There is a risk of fire

occurring as a result of the heat generated during the
charging process.

g. Fluid can escape from the battery when used

incorrectly. Avoid all contact with this. In the event of
accidental contact, rinse with water. If liquid should
get into the eyes, get medical assistance. Battery fluid

may result in skin irritations and burns.

h. Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-

circuiting.

i. Protect the battery from heat, for example, from

constant sun and fire. There is a risk of explosion.

j. Never short circuit the battery. There is a risk of

explosion.

k. In the event of damage and incorrect use, vapours

may come out of the battery. Ensure your work space

is well ventilated with fresh air and, if you have any
symptoms, consult a doctor. These vapours may irritate
the respiratory system.

Safety rules for cordless drill/driver
a) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing

an operation where the drill/driver bits may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire
will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.

b) Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using

this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for applications
which generate dust.

c) Secure the material being drill/drivered. Never hold it in

your hand or across legs. Unstable support can cause
the drill/driver bit to bind causing loss of control and injury.

d) Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool

or side handle and walls or posts. Should the bit become
bound or jammed in the work, the reaction torque of the
tool could crush your hand or leg.

e) If the bit becomes bound in the workpiece, release the

trigger immediately, reverse the direction of rotation and
slowly squeeze the trigger to back out the bit. Be ready
for a strong reaction torque. The drill/driver body will tend
to twist in the opposite direction as the drill/driver bit is
rotating.

f) Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to

the spinning chuck or drill/driver bit. Your hand may be
lacerated.

g) When installing a drill/driver bit, insert the shank of the bit

well within the jaws of the chuck. If the bit is not inserted
deep enough, the grip of the jaws over the bit is reduced
and the loss of control is increased.

h) Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories. Dull

or damaged bits have a greater tendency to bind in the
workpiece.

i) When removing the bit from the tool avoid contact with

skin and use proper protective gloves when grasping the
bit or accessory. Accessories may be hot after prolonged
use. Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from the drill/driver before switching the tool on.
Keys or wrenches can fly away at high velocity striking
you or
a bystander.

j) Do not run the drill/driver while carrying it at your side.

A spinning drill/driver bit could become entangled with
clothing and injury may result.

WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drill/drivering, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:

a) Lead from lead-based paints,
b) Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and
c) Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how

often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Important information – Product care

This drill/driver uses Lithium Ion Battery Cells. Care
MUST be taken to ensure both the safety and life of the
pack is maintained. Ensure you have read all of the safety
notes in the previous pages before using the drill/driver.

Treat the battery pack with care and within the guidelines
of this manual. If the pack does become immersed in water
or any fluids, or is subject to a severe drop or it does not
operate within the guidelines of this manual, immediately
STOP using the battery pack and have it checked.

During operation avoid overloading the drill/driver. If the drill/
driver is overloaded it will automatically STOP. Overloading
may occur for a number of reasons including when the
drill/driver is pushed too hard or when using a drill/driver
bit or attachment greater than what is specified. If you
do overload the drill/driver during operation refer to the
“Overload” section in this manual.

Note: When the battery of the drill/driver is at the lower end of
the charge, the drill/driver is more susceptible to the overload
condition.

Running the drill/driver at close to maximum load, or
continual resetting of the overload will cause the battery
pack to overheat. When a preset cell temperature is
detected, the battery pack will automatically STOP operating
and will not restart until the battery pack has cooled to a
safe level.

In this condition, DO NOT force cool the pack by placing in
a freezer or similar device. Refer to the “Overload” section
in this manual.

Another feature of the drill/driver/battery pack is the low
voltage cut out feature. This feature operates when the
voltage drops below a preset value. When this occurs the
tool will automatically stop operating. To correct the situation
you need to either insert another charged battery into the
drill/driver or recharge the existing battery, and then proceed
with the drill/drivering/driving application.

Note: Attempting to restart the tool in this condition without
either recharging the battery or installing a battery with

charge will lead to drill/driver restarting and then stopping
again after only a few seconds of operation.

These safety devices have been fitted for the safety,
reliability and life of the tool.

Fitting and removing
the battery pack

1. To install the battery pack to
the tool, align the raised portion
of the battery pack (6) with the
grooves on the bottom of the
drill/driver, and slide it firmly

2 Speed gearbox

The 2 Speed Gearbox allows you
to select a gear with the optimum
speed and torque to suit the
application.

Note. When changing the
drill/driver selector ensure the
drill/driver is not operating.

To select the LOW gear
(low speed, high torque setting),
push the gear selector (3)
backward, towards the back of
the drill/driver. The word LO will be displayed. (Fig D)

To select the HIGH gear (high speed, low torque setting),
push the gear selector (3) forward, towards the chuck.
The word HI will be displayed. (Fig D)

Using the drill/driver

Trigger switch

Use the forward/reverse switch
(4) to select the direction of
rotation (Fig E), then pull the
trigger (9) (Fig F). This trigger
switch is an electronic variable
speed control which enables the
user to vary the speed continuously.
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.

To stop the drill/driver, release
the trigger switch (9).

Note. The variable speed control fitted to this drill/driver is
NOT intended to be used for long periods of time during
the operation of the task being performed. Use the variable
speed to start drill/drivering and screwing tasks, and then
fully depress the trigger once the task has started.

CAUTION. Extended use of the variable speed under
load will overload and then permanently damage the
speed control.

Drill/driver Overload

This drill/driver is fitted with an overload protection. If the drill/
driver is excessively forced, or the task being performed is
too great for the drill/driver, the drill/driver will automatically
go into an overload mode. When the drill/driver goes into
overload, the drill/driver will automatically and suddenly
STOP. To reset the overload, simply release the trigger.
When the trigger is pressed again, the drill/driver will restart.
Resume work after the overload has been reset, but reduce
the load by using a smaller drill/driver bit or re-sharpen the
existing drill/driver bit and reduce the amount of force placed
on the drill/driver. If the drill/driver is set to High speed on the
gear selector, consider changing to low speed selection.

CAUTION. Do not continue to overload the drill/driver and
constantly reset the overload. Doing this will cause the
battery cells to over heat.

Temperature Cut Out

If the drill/driver is constantly overloaded, or the drill/driver
is used constantly at maximum rating in high ambient
conditions, the battery cells may overheat causing the
battery pack to shut down.

When this occurs you will need to immediately stop
drill/drivering and allow the battery cells to reduce the
temperature.

Note. The drill/driver will not restart until the battery pack has
cooled.

To reduce the temperature of the cells remove the battery
pack from the drill/driver and place the battery pack in a
free air environment, out of direct sunlight or any other heat
source.

DO NOT force cool the pack in any way. Do not place in
refrigerators or freezers.

When the battery pack has cooled down it can again be
used to operate the drill/driver, as long as the load or the
conditions causing the original excessive temperature has
been corrected.

The picture here shows the
gear selector forward so the
drill/driver is in High speed,

Low voltage cut out
The battery pack used on this tool is fitted with a low

voltage cut out feature within the circuitry.

The low voltage cut out feature operates when the voltage
drops below a preset value. This feature automatically stops
the drill/driver from operating (similar to that of the overload
condition). When this condition occurs you will need to
either insert another battery into the drill/driver or recharge
the existing battery.

The low voltage cut out feature has been added to
maximise the tool’s life. When this occurs, recharge the
battery pack by following the battery charging section in this
manual.

Note: Attempting to restart the tool without either recharging
the battery or installing another battery (with charge) will
lead to drill/driver restarting and then stopping again, after
only a few seconds of operation.

Forward/reverse switch
Note. You can only change the direction of rotation of the

drill/driver using the forward/reverse switch when the trigger
is NOT depressed.

This switch will allow you to change the direction of the
motor while the trigger switch is not depressed.

Drill/drivering uses the forward mode. The reverse mode is
intended for the removal of screws and assisting to remove
jammed drill/driver bits.

Adjustable torque

This drill/driver is equipped with
20 torque settings plus one
drill/driver setting which are
controlled by the torque collar
(2). All of the torque settings are
clearly identified on the torque
collar (2). To adjust the torque
setting you rotate the torque
collar. The higher the number, the higher the torque setting
collar (2). (Fig G).

Controlling the torque allows for better control when using
the drill/driver on specific add screwing tasks and prevents
over-fastening and over-tightening.

For drill/drivering, always use the drill/driver position by
aligning the drill/driver symbol with the triangular indicator
on the front face of the drill/driver near the torque collar.

For setting the torque position, select a low setting on the
torque collar (2) and align the selected symbol with the
triangular indicator on the top of the drill/driver.

Inserting and removing bits

This drill/driver has a keyless
chuck, which means that a chuck
(1) key is not needed to secure a
bit in the drill/driver.

Open the chuck (1) by unscrewing
it in an anti-clockwise direction,
holding the drill/driver as shown.
(Fig H).

Do this sufficiently enough to allow the drill/driver bit to enter
the jaws of the chuck.

Ensure the drill/driver bit is fully inserted, so that the chuck
jaws grip the straight section of the bit.

Rotate the chuck clock-wise until the jaws tighten on the
drill/driver bit. The collar of the chuck needs to be tightened
firmly to ensure the drill/driver bit is held securely.

To remove the drill/driver bit, rotate sharply the chuck in an
anti-clockwise direction, sufficiently enough to allow the drill/
driver bit to be removed.

Note. This device is fitted with spindle lock and the chuck
is a onehanded operation.

Drill/drivering

Drill/drivering metals

• Always clamp sheet metal.

• Support thin metal with a block of wood to avoid

distorting it.

• Use a punch to mark the centre of the hole.

• Use a suitable lubricant for the material you are

working on,

USE: FOR:

Oil Steel
Turpentine or paraffin Aluminium
Do not lubricate Brass, copper or cast iron

Drill/drivering plastics and plastic coated chipboard

• Use high speed drill/driver bits

• See drill/drivering wood below

Drill/drivering masonry

• This drill/driver is NOT designed for drill/drivering

masonry.

Drill/drivering wood

• Clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back of your work to

prevent splintering.

All drill/drivering operations

• Mark off the centre of the hole using a centre punch or nail.

• Don’t force the drill/driver, let it work at its own pace

• Keep the drill/driver bit sharp.

• Reduce pressure, as the drill/driver is about to break

through the item being drill/drivered.

LED work light

When the unit is switched on, the LED work light (10) also
comes on to ensure better vision and to make working in
dark areas more safe. The working light goes out when the
On/Off switch (9) is released.

CAUTION! LED is laser class 1! Do not look directly into the
laser as this may result in damage to the eyes.

Chuck replacement

The chucks of reversible drill/drivers are always fixed by a
screw with a left-hand thread. The screw, which is located in
the centre of the chuck, must be removed before the chuck
can be removed. To remove the screw, turn it in a clockwise
direction. The chuck can now be removed by unscrewing it
anti-clockwise. If you have trouble removing the chuck take
the drill/driver to your nearest authorised service centre for
chuck replacement.

CAUTION. Always ensure that the drill/driver is switched
off and the battery pack is removed before making any
adjustments.

Belt clip

The belt clip (5) is used to assist
to clip the tool to your waist belt
while working. Install the clip to
the drill/driver by locating the belt
clip tabs in the slots in the drill/
driver and tighten the screw to fix
the clip firmly. (Fig I)

FAQ/Troubleshooting

Do I need to charge the battery before use?

Yes, New battery packs are shipped in a low charge
condition and must be fully charged before use. It takes
approximately 1 hour to fully charge your new battery.
Charging of batteries should not be undertaken casually.
Through the charging cycle the condition of the battery pack
should be monitored and the charge cycle turned off at
completion or at the end of the recommended time.

How do I obtain the best life for the battery?

- Never allow the drill to come to a complete stand still

before recharging. The battery should be placed on charge
whenever the battery is noticeably running down or the drill
no longer performs a task it previously performed.

- Avoid allowing lose items like screws or nails etc. to be

stored with battery packs as these or similar items can
short battery packs and cause a fire or explosion.

- Always unplug the plug pack charger when not in use and

store in a dry secure place.

- Avoid charging or storing your battery in temperatures

below 0ºC and above 40ºC.

How do I use the 2 gears on the drill?

To select the LOW gear (low speed, high torque setting),
push the gear selector backward, towards the back of the
drill/driver. The word LO will be displayed.

To select the HIGH gear (high speed, low torque setting),
push the gear selector forward, towards the chuck. The
word HI will be displayed.

How do I adjust the torque?

To adjust the torque setting you rotate the torque collar. The
higher the number, the higher the torque setting collar.

Controlling the torque allows for better control when using
the drill/driver on specific add screwing tasks and prevents
over-fastening and over-tightening.

For drill/driving, always use the drill/driver position by
aligning the drill/driver symbol with the triangular indicator
on the front face of the drill/driver near the torque collar.

For setting the torque position, select a low setting on
the torque collar and align the selected symbol with the
triangular indicator on the top of the drill/driver.

What is the function of the Forward / Reverse switch?

This switch will allow you to change the direction of the
motor while the trigger switch is not depressed.

Drill/driving uses the forward mode. The reverse mode is
intended for the removal of screws and assisting to remove
jammed drill/driver bits.

What do I do if I have an issue with my drill?

If you have any issues with your drill/driver, please contact
our Customer Service line on 1800 909 909.
