RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION  
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and the  
explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by  
themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident  
prevention measures.  
SYMBOL MEANING  
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL:  
Indicates danger, warning, or caution. May be used in conjunction with other symbols or pictographs.  
DANGER: Failure to obey a safety warning will result in serious injury to yourself or to others. Always  
follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.  
WARNING: Failure to obey a safety warning can result in serious injury to yourself or to others. Always  
follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.  
CAUTION: Failure to obey a safety warning may result in property damage or personal injury to yourself  
or to others. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal

NOTE:  
Advises you of information or instructions vital to the operation or maintenance of the equipment.  
KNOW YOUR CORDLESS TOOL  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS  
Safe operation of this cordless tool requires that you read  
and understand this Operator's Manual and all labels affixed  
to the tool. Learn its applications and limitations as well as  
the potential hazards related to a cordless tool. Keep this  
manual readily available for future reference.  
1. KEEPTHEWORKAREACLEAN. Clutteredwork  
areas and work benches invite injuries.  
2. CONSIDERWORKAREAENVIRONMENT.Keep  
work area well lit. Do not use tool in presence of  
flammable liquids or gases.  
IMPORTANT  
3. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY  
PREVENTING BODY CONTACT WITH  
GROUNDED SURFACES. For example: Pipes,  
radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.  
Servicing of a tool requires extreme care and knowledge of  
the system and should be performed only by a authorized  
service technician. For service we suggest you return the  
tool to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for  
repair. When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement  
parts.  
4. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All  
visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a  
safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors  
contact tool or extension cord.  
WARNING:  
5. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use tools  
should be stored in a dry and high or locked-up  
place - out of the reach of children.  
Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have read  
thoroughly and understand completely all instructions,  
safety rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to  
comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric  
shock, or serious personal injury. Save this operator's  
manual and review it frequently for continuing safe  
operation, and instructing others who may use this tool.  
6. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and

OVERLOAD  
(For Model R10531 only)  
Your drill has a built-in overload protector to protect the motor during overloading or prolonged use. The overload protector  
automatically activates to break the circuit. When this occurs, allow your drill to cool a few seconds before resuming  
operation.  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES USING CHARGER PART  
NUMBER 1400677  
When using your drill-driver continuously, the batteries in your battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery  
pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge. When the battery pack becomes discharged  
and is hot, this will cause the red light on your battery charger to flash. When battery pack cools down, red light will glow  
continuously indicating fast charging mode, 1 hour charge time. Once the battery pack cools down, it will recharge battery  
pack in fast charging mode as normal.  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES USING CHARGER PART  
NUMBER 1400666, 1400656, OR 1400667  
When using your drill-driver continuously, the batteries in your battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery  
pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge. When the battery pack becomes discharged  
and is hot, this will cause the yellow and green lights on your battery charger to come on instead of the red light. The yellow  
and green lights indicate soft start mode and will switch to green only, indicating slow charge mode. The red light indicates  
fast charge mode, 1 hour charge time. The green light indicates slow charge mode, requiring overnight charging for  
batteries to reach full charge. If the green light comes on after letting battery pack cool down, remove it from charger for  
additional cooling.  
Once the battery pack cools down, it will recharge battery pack in fast charging mode as normal.  
Do not leave a hot battery pack in charger until it cools down. The green light will not go off when battery pack cools. If fast  
charge mode is desired, you must physically remove a hot battery pack from the charger, let it cool, then place it back in  
charger after it has cooled down. Once the battery pack cools down, it will recharge battery pack in fast charging mode as  
normal.  
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of your drill-driver causes the batteries to become hot. It does not  
occur under normal circumstances. Refer to "CHARGING YOUR DRILL-DRIVER" for normal recharging of batteries.  
If the charger does not charge your battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to  
your nearest Ryobi Authorized Repair Center for electrical check.

Your drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling or  
driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide switch is located  
on top of your drill to select either LO (1) or HI (2) speed.  
When using drill in the LO (1) speed range, speed will  
decrease and unit will have more power and torque. When  
using drill in the HI (2) speed range, speed will increase and  
unit will have less power and torque. Use LO (1) speed for  
high power and torque applications and HI (2) speed for  
fast drilling or driving applications.  
To stop, release switch trigger and allow the chuck to come  
to a complete stop.  
WARNING:  
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore,  
switch should always be locked when not in use or when

Insert your drill bit into the chuck the full length of the  
jaws. See Figure 8.  
Tighten the chuck jaws on the drill bit. To tighten, grasp  
and hold the drill with one hand, while rotating the chuck  
sleeve with your other hand.  
Note: Rotate the chuck sleeve in the direction of the arrow  
marked CLOSE to tighten the chuck jaws. DO NOT use a  
wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.

WARNING:  
Do not insert drill bit into chuck jaws and tighten as shown  
in figure 9. This could cause drill bit to be thrown from  
drill resulting in possible serious personal injury or  
damage to the chuck.  
REMOVING BITS  
See Figure 8.  
Place the direction of rotation selector at the center

WARNING:  
Be prepared for binding or breakthrough. When these

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.

BIT STORAGE AREA  
When using your drill-driver for various driving applications,  
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 intensity  
should correspond to the screw diameter. If the torque is too  
high or the screws too small, the screws may be damaged or  
broken.  
The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment ring.  
See Figure 11. The torque is greater when the torque adjust-

MAINTENANCE  
DO NOT ABUSE POWER TOOLS. Abusive practices can  
damage the tool, as well as the workpiece.  
WARNING:  
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement  
parts. Useofanyotherpartsmaycreateahazardorcause  
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:  
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
