Electrical Safety  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded  
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding  
prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with  
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly  
grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding  
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.  
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider  
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug  
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact  
a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug  
in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded  
power cord and grounded power supply system.  
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,  
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is  
grounded.  
4.  
5.  
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 Charger’s power cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry  
the Charger or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from  
heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords  
immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.  
Personal Safety  
1.  
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating  
a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of  
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power  
tools may result in serious personal injury.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.  
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,  
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.  
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Rotation Button (9) is in the locked  
position before inserting the Battery. Carrying power tools with your finger on  
the trigger, or inserting the Battery with the trigger depressed, invites accidents.  
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing  
and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

1.  
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety  
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.  
Always wear ANSI-approved safety goggles when working with this tool.  
Tool Use and Care  
Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the  
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body  
is unstable and may lead to loss of control.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct  
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.  
Do not use the power tool if the trigger does not operate it. Any tool that cannot  
be controlled with the trigger is dangerous and must be replaced.  
Remove the battery from the tool and set the Rotation Button (9) to the center,  
locked position, before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or  
storing the tool. These preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the  
tool accidentally.  
5.  
6.  
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools  
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
maintain tools with care. Keep drill bits (not included) sharp and clean.  
Properly maintained accessories with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind  
and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool or accessory. Tag damaged  
tools “Do not use” until repaired.  
7.  
8.  
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any  
other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool  
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.  
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your  
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous  
when used on another tool.  
Service  
1.  
2.  
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or  
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.  
When servicing a tool,use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions  
in this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance  
instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

11.  
Never leave the Charger unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet.  
Unplug the Charger from its electrical outlet before leaving.  
PROPER BATTERy PACK CARE: Battery Pack (28) leakage may occur under  
extreme usage or temperature conditions. If Battery Pack fluid comes in contact  
with skin, rinse with lemon juice and vinegar then wash with soap and water. If the  
fluid comes into contact with the eyes, flush with water for several minutes and contact  
a doctor immediately. Never burn the Battery Pack, as it can explode in a fire. Do  
not charge the Cordless Drill with a leaking Battery Pack. Contact local solid waste  
authorities for instructions on correct disposal or recycling of the Battery Pack.  
12.  
WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and  
other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California) to  
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these  
chemicals are:lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement  
or other masonry products, 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 dust masks that are specially  
designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code §  
25249.5, et seq.)  
13.  
WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before  
using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart  
pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.  
GROUNDING  
WARNING!  
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock.  
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is  
properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool.  
Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the  
power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility  
before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a  
qualified electrician.  
GROUNDED TOOLS:TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS  
1.  
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong  
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If  
the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low  
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric  
shock. (See Figure A.)  
2.  
3.  
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the  
cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the  
only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to  
an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)  
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded  
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like  
those in the following illustration. (Se Figure A.)

DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS:TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS  
1.  
2.  
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special  
double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with  
the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard  
Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)  
Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the

CHARGING  
1.  
2.  
NOTE: The Battery Pack (28) requires charging before first use. The first charge  
requires a 5 hour charge prior to initial use of the Cordless Drill.  
Note: Always switch to a fresh battery when tool performance begins to diminish.  
Severe heat is most destructive to a battery; the more heat generated, the faster  
the battery loses power. A battery that gets too hot can be permanently damaged.  
Never over-discharge a battery by using the tool after itsperformance is decreasing.  
Never attempt to discharge a tool’s battery by continuing to pull the trigger. When  
tool performance begins to diminish, stop the tool, recharge the battery and use  
the fresh battery for optimal performance.  
3.  
When the Battery Pack requires recharging, a 3-5 hour charge allows the tool to  
operate at full power.  
4.  
5.  
Charging room temperature: 50° F. – 104° F.  
Depress both buttons at the rear of each side of the Battery Pack and slide unit back  
to detach from the Drill. Plug Battery Pack into Adapter (30) the same way it plugs  
into the Cordless Drill, then slide Adapter onto Charger (29), and plug the Charger  
into the nearest 120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet.  
6.  
7.  
While charging, the Battery Pack, Charger, and Adapter may become warm to the  
touch. This is normal, and does not indicate a problem.  
Once the Battery Pack is fully charged, disconnect the Charger from the electrical  
outlet. Disconnect the Adapter and the Battery Pack from the Charger.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
NOTE: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer to  
the Assembly Diagram on page 13.  
WARNING! Remove the Battery (28) from the tool and set the Rotation Button  
(9) to its center, locked, position before making any adjustments, changing accessories,  
or storing the tool.

Figure E.  
1.  
2.  
To install a drill/screwdriver bit: with the chuck pointing away from you, hold the  
Chuck Sleeve firmly in place and turn the Chuck (16) counterclockwise. Insert the  
shank of the bit all the way into the Chuck. While holding the Chuck Sleeve in place,  
turn the Chuck clockwise to lock the bit in place. The Chuck accepts up to 1/2”  
diameter bits. Insert the appropriate bit for your application and tighten the Chuck  
firmly. (See Figure E., above.)  
Secure the workpiece in place, using a vise or clamps (not included).  
Warning! Never change Torque Setting while drill is still rotating, as this can damage the  
drill.  
3.  
Decide on which setting to choose for application:  
Torque Settings (1-16):  
The different numbers on the Ring are an indication of how much torque the  
screwdriver will apply to the bit before the clutch slips, allowing the bit to stop and

PAGE 10  
 
helping to prevent damage to the screw, bit, or workpiece. The higher the number,  
the more torque is applied before the clutch slips. Unless you are drilling, always  
start with a lower number to help prevent damage. This drill also has torque settings  
between the numbers to allow a greater range of control.  
Drill Setting (  
):  
This setting essentially prevents the clutch from slipping entirely. It is designed for  
drilling, but is not advised for using the screwdriver because it offers no protection  
against stripping the head or splitting the wood.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
7.  
Set the drilling torque by turning the Torque Setting Ring (15) to align the torque  
indicator arrow with the desired setting. (See Figure E., previous page.)  
When drilling in light gauge metal or wood, use a wooden block to back up the  
material to prevent damage to the workpiece.  
Mark the center of the hole to be drilled with a center punch (not included) to give  
a Drill Bit a start and to prevent it from “walking”.  
Lubricate the Drill Bit with cutting oil (not included) when drilling iron or steel. Use  
a coolant (not included) when drilling nonferrous metals such as copper, brass, or  
aluminum.  
8.  
Attach the Accessory Grip (14) to the drill by sliding the metal loop over the front  
of the drill and fastening it securely behind the Torque Setting. Turn the handle of  
Accessory Grip clockwise until it holds firmly. The Accessory Grip allows greater  
control over the Drill and makes it easier to resist being pulled out of alignment by  
torque.  
9.  
Insert the fully charged Battery Pack (28) into the Handle of the Cordless Drill.  
10.  
The Rotation Button (9) allows you to change the rotational direction of the  
Cordless Drill. For a clockwise rotation, move the Rotation Button to the right. For a  
counterclockwise rotation, move the Rotation Button to the left. The center position  
locks the Trigger (10), helping to prevent the Drill from operating. The Forward/  
Reverse Indicator (21) lights up, when the Trigger is depressed, to show which  
direction the Drill is set.  
11.  
12.  
13.  
Make sure to hold the Cordless Drill firmly with both hands, as torque from the Motor  
can cause the tool to twist.  
Operate the Drill, by squeezing the Trigger (10). The speed of the Drill can be  
controlled by varying the pressure on the Trigger.  
If Drilling:  
Use the Drill torque setting, as described above.

Drill only as deep as necessary. Do not drill deeper than necessary into walls or other  
areas where you cannot identify any possible hazards behind the drilling surface.  
To reduce jamming as the Bit breaks through the workpiece, decrease the drilling  
pressure when the point of the Bit breaks through the workpiece.  
14.  
When you have drilled the hole, remove the Bit from the hole while the Cordless Drill  
is still running. This prevents the Bit from getting caught in the hole and causing  
damage.  
15.  
16.  
When driving screws, start with a low torque setting.  
If the clutch starts slipping before the screw is in all the way, stop the drill, put the  
Rotation Button (9) in the center position and change the torque setting. Reset the  
rotation direction before continuing.  
17.  
Release the Trigger (10) to stop the Drill. Then, remove the Battery Pack, put the  
Rotation Button in the center position, and remove the bit from the Drill.  
INSPECTION, mAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING  
1.  
2.  
WARNING! Remove the Battery Pack (28) from the tool and set the Rotation  
Button (9) to its center, locked position before performing any inspection,  
maintenance, or cleaning.  
BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Cordless Drill. Check for  
misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, leaking Battery
