3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance

temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C).
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your
local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on
jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack
whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery
pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Never
attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TRIGGER SWITCH & REVERSING BUTTON (FIGURE D)
• The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling
and releasing the trigger switch (1). The
farther the trigger is depressed, the higher
the speed of the drill.
• A forward/reverse control button (2)
determines the direction of the tool and
also serves as a lock off button.
• To select forward rotation, release the
trigger switch and depress the
forward/reverse control button to the left.
• To select reverse, depress the
forward/reverse control button the opposite
direction.
NOTE: The center position of the control
button locks the tool in the off position.
When changing the position of the control
button, be sure the trigger is released.
TORQUE CONTROL (FIGURE E)
This tool is fitted with a torque adjustment
collar (3) to select the operating mode and to
set the torque for tightening screws. Large
screws and hard workpiece materials require a
higher torque setting than small screws and
soft workpiece materials.
• For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set
the collar to the drilling position symbol
• For screwdriving, set the collar to the
desired setting. If you do not yet know the
appropriate setting, proceed as follows:
• Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
• Tighten the first screw.
• If the clutch ratchets before the desired
result is achieved, increase the collar setting and continue tightening the screw.
Repeat until you reach the correct setting. Use this setting for the remaining screws.
KEYLESS CHUCK (FIGURE F)
WARNING: Make certain the lock-off
button is engaged to prevent switch actuation
before installing or removing accessories.
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
1. Grasp the rear half of the chuck (4) with
one hand and use your other hand to
rotate the front half (4a) in the
counterclockwise direction, as viewed from
the chuck end.
2. Insert the bit or other accessory fully into
the chuck, and tighten securely by holding
the rear half of the chuck and rotating the
front portion in the clockwise direction as
viewed from the chuck end.
WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill
bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the tool
on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur when changing accessories.
SCREW DRIVING
For driving fasteners, the reversing button should be pushed to the left. Use reverse
(button pushed to the right) for removing fasteners. When moving from forward to reverse,
or vice versa, always release the trigger switch first.
