3.0Ah High Capacity Battery (optional accessory)
A high-capacity battery is available that provides double the capacity. It also allows the drill driver
to stand vertically which may be advantageous for some uses. Please note the full charging time
will be approximately 2 hours for the high-capacity battery and 1 hour for 80% charge.

Note:
If the lights on the battery charger fail to illuminate according to the chart above, or indicate
a fault condition:
• Check the battery is firmly seated in the battery charger
• Check all connections and that mains power is switched on
Initial charge
• The initial charge will vary depending on the existing charge in the battery. Allow the battery
to reach full charge as indicated on the charger
• After discharging, recharge the battery completely, as indicated by the LED on the battery
charger, for the next 4–5 uses. This will ensure that the battery is performing to its highest
capacity
• Subsequent full charges will take approximately 1 hour; however, the battery can be
recharged when the battery is only partially discharged
Re-charging the battery
• After use, a Lithium-Ion battery must be allowed to cool down before charging
• If a hot battery is inserted into the charger, both LEDs will illuminate. The charger will begin
to charge when the battery has cooled sufficiently (this may take several minutes)
Installing the battery
• The battery should fit easily into the battery charger or drill driver unit. If the battery is
difficult to fit, check the condition of the battery and contacts
Battery – length of service
• The length of service from each charging cycle will depend on the type of workload.
The battery charger and battery for this drill have been designed to provide a long and
trouble-free working life. The charger intelligently monitors the condition of the battery and
selects the ideal charging rate for the condition of the battery. It protects the battery from
over-charging or charging at too high a rate. However, like all batteries, performance will be
reduced over time
To maximise battery life
• Store and charge your battery in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature will reduce battery life
• DO N OT store Lithium-Ion batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately
after they are discharged. For long term storage, store fully charged
• All batteries gradually lose their charge, even Lithium-Ion batteries, but the discharge rate is
very low. If the drill is stored for long periods of time without use, recharge the battery every
three to four months and disconnect the battery from the power tool before storing. This
practice will prevent the Lithium-Ion battery being damaged when stored

Operation

Using the Quick-Release Collar
• This drill driver is fitted with a Quick-Release collar that allows the chuck to be removed,
revealing a magnetic 6mm/¼" Hex Drive. This allows fast working with both a fitted drill
bit in the chuck, and the use of screwdriver bits in the bit holder. There is no need to
remove the drill bit from the chuck before using the screwdriver bits with this drill driver
To remove the Chuck:
• Hold the Quick-Release Collar (2) and move towards the Chuck (1) then hold both together
and pull the Chuck away from the drill driver

To re-fit the Chuck:
• Align the hex fitting of the Chuck with the hex socket of the Magnetic 6mm/¼" Hex Drive
(10) and push the Chuck into position while holding the Quick-Release Collar. A small
amount of sideways movement may be required to allow the Chuck to fit. Once fitted,
move the Quick-Release Collar towards the Torque Adjustment Collar (3) to secure the
Chuck. Check the Chuck is secure by holding only the Chuck and try to lightly pull it
from the tool
• The Quick-Release mechanism is simple and fast to operate, allowing the drill driver
greater flexibility and speed in operation, although a small amount of practice may be
necessary to become accustomed to this feature
Fitting a drill or driver bit
WARNING: DO NOT fit any attachment with a maximum speed lower than the no load
speed of the machine.
Note: Screwdriver bits can also be fitted directly into the Magnetic 6mm/¼" Hex Drive (10)
when the Chuck is removed.
1. Rotate the Chuck (1) collar clockwise and insert the bit into the Chuck
2. Rotate the Chuck collar anti-clockwise to secure the drill bit
Note: DO NOT run the tool while tightening or releasing the Chuck. Ideally, select the locked
middle position of the Forward/Reverse Selector (5)
3. When the bit is held tightly, test it is positioned centrally by running the tool. The bit
should rotate smoothly without uneven rotation. If the bit is not central, release the Chuck,
reposition the bit and retighten the Chuck
Direction control
• The rotation direction can be set using the Forward/Reverse Selector (5)
• To set the Chuck's rotation clockwise, push the Forward/Reverse Selector to the left
• To set the Chuck's rotation anti-clockwise, push the Forward/Reverse Selector to the right
• To lock the Chuck and prevent rotation, set the Forward/Reverse Selector to the middle
position
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to move the Forward/Reverse Selector when the tool is running.
Speed control
This drill driver has a 2-speed gearbox:
• 1st gear range: 0–400min -1
• 2nd gear range: 0–1300min
-1
Note: Use the Speed Selector (4) to set the gear. Forward for 1st gear, back for 2nd gear.
Note: The 1st gear would be used normally for driving screws, for example, and offers higher
torque and superior control at low rpm. The 2nd gear would normally be used exclusively
for drilling.
Torque control
• This drill driver is fitted with torque control, which limits the torque output of the drill,
enabling screws to be driven without the risk of damage
• There are 17 torque settings and one drill setting. The lower the number, the lower the
torque
• To adjust the torque, select the 1st gear and rotate the Torque Adjustment Collar (3) until the
setting you require is aligned with the arrow on the drill driver housing
• Check that the torque setting is correct by practising first on a piece of scrap material
• For drilling, select the correct gear, rotate the clutch ring to the drill symbol. This will lock
the control for maximum torque
WARNING: The drill driver can be fitted with a drive adaptor for use with driving nuts and bolts.
DO NOT attempt to use this tool in the drill position when doing so. Use the 17 torque settings
and the 1st gear to allow the torque clutch to protect the tool from excessive load. The use of a
wrench to loosen or tighten the nut/bolt is recommended. This allows the tool to speed up the
operation, without risk of damage, when high torque is required at the beginning or end of the
operation.
Switching on
• To start the tool, squeeze the Trigger Switch (8). The LED Guide Light (9) will illuminate
• Further pressure on the Trigger Switch will increase the tool's running speed
Note: It is possible the drill driver may switch off during heavy use due to thermal protection
of the battery and internal components. This may prevent the tool being used again for a short
period of time and does not represent a fault.
Drilling guidance
• Use sharp drill bits and ensure that drill bits are suitable for the material being drilled
• Begin drilling at slow speeds by partially squeezing the Trigger Switch (8)
• Reduce pressure on the Trigger Switch when the drill bit is about to break through to the
other side of material
• Avoid splintering on breakthrough by either clamping a piece of scrap wood to the back
of the workpiece or by continuing the hole from the back of the workpiece when the drill
bit first breaks through
