SCREWDRIVER BITS
When using your drill-driver for various driving aplications, it
becomes necessary to increase or decrease the torque in
order to help prevent the possibility of damaging screw
heads, threads, workpiece, etc. In general, torque should
correspond to the intensity of the screw diameter. If the
torque is too high or the screws too small, the screws may be
damaged or broken.

OPERATION
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating tool. Failure to do so could result
in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in
possible serious injury.
DRILLING
See Figure 10.
When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center punch to
mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit
from slipping off center as the hole is started. However, the
lower speed feature allows starting holes without center
punching if desired. To accomplish this, simply operate your
drill at lower speed until the hole is started.
2 3
1 9
2 1
The material to be drilled should be secured in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
Hold tool firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled.
Depress the switch trigger to start tool.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side
pressure to elongate a hole.
WARNING:
Fig. 10
Be prepared for binding or breakthrough. When these
situations occur, the drill has a tendency to grab and kick
in the opposite direction, and could cause loss of control
when breaking through material. If you are not prepared,
this loss of control can result in possible serious injury.
When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it
from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and
increase the drilling action.
If the bit jams in workpiece or if the drill stalls, release switch
trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and
determine the reason for jamming.

MAINTENANCE
BATTERIES
Your drill is equipped with Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging will depend on the
type of work you are doing.
The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will
eventually wear out. Do not disassemble your drill and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries,
especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
■ Store and charge your batteries in a cool area. Temperatures above normal room temperature will shorten battery life.
■ Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait for the batteries to cool and charge immediately.
■ All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature, the quicker they lose their charge. If you store your
tool for long periods of time without using it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery
life.
CAUTION:
Your drill-driver contains special high temperature batteries to help prevent battery damage when left on charge for
extended periods of time. However, once the batteries become fully charged, we recommend that you unplug the charger
from power supply and remove it from drill-driver.
DO NOT ABUSE POWER TOOLS. Abusive practices can
damage the tool, as well as the work piece.
WARNING:
Whenservicinguseonlyidenticalreplacementparts. Use
of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories
not recommended for use with this tool. Any such
alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a
hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal
injury.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
CAUTION:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken, or destroy plastics.
Any repairs requiring disassembly should only be
performed by an AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER. For
