Before use

Unpacking and assembling your drill
• Carefully unpack your drill, battery, and charger. Ensure all packaging
materials are removed and fully familiarise yourself with all features of
the product.
• If any parts are damaged/missing, have these parts repaired/replaced
before use.
• Always hold the machine, using both hands, by the handles provided.
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment for the job
that you are to do. Use of this machine may require ear defenders, safety
goggles, gloves, a breathing mask, and a hard hat.
Operating instructions
WARNING: Never fit any attachment with a maximum speed lower than the
no load speed of the machine.
Fitting a drill bit
• Open the chuck (1) jaws by rotating the front chuck ring clockwise.
• The drill bit can then be placed into the chuck.
• Tighten the chuck jaws by rotating the front chuck ring anti-clockwise.
• Do not run the drill whilst tightening/releasing the chuck.
• When the drill bit is held tightly, test that it is central by running the drill.
The drill bit should rotate smoothly with no "wobble". If the drill bit is not
central, release the chuck, and retighten.
Direction control
• The direction of rotation can be set using the reverse switch (5).
• To make the drill rotate anti-clockwise, push the reverse switch to
the right.
• To make the drill rotate clockwise, push the reverse switch to the left.
• When the reverse switch is in the central position, the drill is locked.
• Do not attempt to move the reverse switch when the drill is running.
Switching on
• To start the drill, squeeze the trigger switch (6).
• The speed of the drill is controlled by the movement of the trigger, the
further the trigger is depressed, the faster the drill will run.
Gear selection
• This drill is equipped with a 2 speed gearbox. The lower gear provides
speeds between 0-400RPM with a high torque. The higher gear provides
speeds between 0-1200RPM with reduced torque.
• For jobs that do not require speeds above 400RPM, use low gear. This
will reduce the load on the motor.
• To select a gear, slide the gear selector (3) to the appropriate position.
• Do not attempt to move the gear selector when the drill is running.

Level bubble
• The level bubble enables you to check that holes are being
drilled horizontally.
• To ensure a perfectly horizontal hole, keep the bubble central between
the two black lines while drilling.
Torque control
• This drill is fitted with a torque control clutch (2). This limits the torque
output of the drill, enabling screws to be driven without the risk
of damage.
• The clutch settings are indicated by the screw symbols on the clutch
ring. A smaller screw symbol indicates a lower torque output, suitable for
smaller screws.
• Rotate the clutch ring to select the correct torque.
• For drilling, rotate the clutch ring to the drill symbol. This will lock the
clutch for maximum torque.
Side handle
• The side handle (9) should always be used to ensure a secure grip and
good control.
• The side handle can be adjusted to the best position for the job to be
done. To adjust the side handle, loosen the clamp and rotate. Retighten
the clamp before use.
Checking battery level
• This drill is fitted with a battery level indicator (8).
• To check the charge remaining in the battery, press the button in the
middle of the indicator.
• If only red lights illuminate, the battery is low. If only red and orange
lights illuminate, the battery is part charged. If red, orange, and green
lights illuminate then the battery is fully charged.
Charging the battery
The following procedure should be followed:
• The battery should be fully discharged before charging.
• The battery should be charged at 20ºC (room temperature).
• Plug the charger into the power supply.
• Ensure that the power supply is switched on.
• Insert the battery pack into the charger.
• The red indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the battery is
being charged.
• After approx 1 hour, the red light will go out, and the green light will
illuminate. This means the battery is fully charged, and can now be
removed from the charger.
• Allow 15mins for the battery to cool before use.
• Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply, and is
stored correctly.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow the correct procedure when charging
the batteries will result in permanent damage. You must follow the
correct procedure.
