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

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

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

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-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken, or destroy plastics.

BATTERIES
✒ Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above normal room temperature will
shorten battery life.
Your drill's battery pack is equipped with Nickel-Cadmium
rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charg-

✒ Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait for
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 the battery
pack and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of
these batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry,
could result in a serious burn.
battery 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.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
