Start Up
General remarks for using the battery
The battery is shipped DISCHARGED from the factory. It will be necessary to charge the battery 1 hour approximately before
being able to use it.
The regular charging temperature is from 32 °F to 113 °F. Out of this range, charging stops immediately until reaching the right
temperature. The normal discharge / work temperature is 32 °F, and up to 167 °F. If exceeding 167 °F the electronic control will
stop the tool power until the temperature gets the optimal temperature range. When the battery shows a low power level while
working, the tool stops running.
Give the charger a 15-minutes' rest between charges. In hot environment or after long use, it is possible that the battery gets
too hot to be recharged. Give the battery cooling down time before trying to recharge it.
Installation of Bits or Adapters
• Using one hand, hold the chuck base firmly. Use your
other hand to loosen the chuck tip turning in a
counterclockwise direction.
• Insert the bit all the way in or remove it as needed.
• Turn the chuck tip clockwise to secure the bit.
Rotation Direction
• To drill or screw, release the switch and press the rotation direction button
where the marks point towards the chuck.
• To reverse the direction and screw out, press in the opposite side.
• The switch gets blocked if the button is in the middle position.
CAUTION
The first time you switch on the drill and after reversing
the rotation direction, you may hear a "click". This is normal and does not
represent a problem.
CAUTION
Never reverse the rotation direction while the drill is
running. The tool may be damaged.
Speed Selection
• The two speeds set in the hammer-drill work similar to the gears
in a car.
• Low speed (1) will give a lot of torque (torsion power). Use this
speed when starting to drill big orifices, on both metal or wood.
This will prevent the drill from getting stuck.
• The high speed (2) has a reduced torque but lets the drill to run
higher revolutions per minute. This makes the drill to cut faster
wood or thin metal.
Torque Adjustment
• To select the desired torque level, turn the torque regulator until
matching the desired level with the upper mark:
from 1 up to 4 for small screws,
from 5 up to 9 for screws in soft material,
from 10 to 15 for screw in soft and hard material.
• To drill metal, wood or plastic, turn the torque regulator into the DRILL
position (
).
CAUTION
The torque level needed depends on the type of screw
to be used and the material to work with. When in doubt, use the lower
torque and increase gradually until getting the right one. An adequate
torque prevents damaging the tool.
