Using the drill

Trigger switch

Use the forward/reverse switch
(4) to select the direction of
rotation, then pull the trigger (3).
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, release the
trigger switch.
Note. The variable Speed control fitted to this drill 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 drilling 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.
Adjustable torque
This drill is equipped with 17
torque settings plus one drill
setting which are controlled
by the torque collar (2). All of
the torque settings are clearly
identified on the torque collar.
To adjust the torque setting you
rotate the torque collar. The
higher the number, the higher the torque setting.
Controlling the torque allows for better control when using
the drill on specific add screwing tasks and prevents over-
fastening and over-tightening.
For drilling, always use the Drill position by aligning the Drill
symbol with the triangular indicator on the front face of the
drill 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.
Drill Overload
This drill is fitted with an overload protection. If the drill is
excessively forced, or the task being performed is too great
for the drill, the drill will automatically go into an overload
mode. When the drill goes into overload, the drill will
automatically and suddenly STOP. To reset the overload,
simply release the trigger. When the trigger is pressed
again, the drill will restart. Resume work after the overload
has been reset, but reduce the load by using a smaller drill
bit or re-sharpen the existing drill bit and reduce the amount
of force placed on the drill.
CAUTION. Do not continue to overload the drill and
constantly reset the overload. Doing this will cause the
battery cells to over heat.
Temperature Cut Out
If the drill is constantly overloaded, or the drill is used
constantly at maximum rating in high ambient conditions,
the battery cells may over heat causing the battery pack to
shut down.
When this occurs you will need to immediately stop drilling
and allow the battery cells to reduce the temperature.
Note. The drill will not restart until the battery pack has cooled.
To reduce the temperature of the cells remove the battery
pack from the drill 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, as long as the load or the
conditions causing the original excessive temperature has
been corrected.
