Maintenance
Your cordless power tool will give you hun-
dreds of hours of operation time before
ever needing service. The electrical com-
ponents of this cordless drill are not user
serviceable. Repair should always be
undertaken by a qualified electrical repair
technician.
Keep the drill free from dirt and grease.
Always store it in a dry place, preferably in
the case that is supplied.
The battery will require periodic recharg-
ing, and eventually replacement after it
has exceeded its recharge life (approxi-
mately 800-1000 recharge cycles). You
will notice extended charging times or
shortened operation time as the battery
experiences more cycles. Battery must
be recycled or disposed of properly.
Refer to the Grizzly catalog for replace-
ment batteries.
OPERATING TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
Disassembly and improper reassem-
bly of this device can result in electri-
cal shock danger. Always have this
device serviced by an qualified elec-
trical repair technician. Serious injury
will result.
Operating Guides and Tips
Avoid overloading the drill. Always use
sharpened drill bits. Do not apply
excessive pressure to the drill while
using. If the speed drops abnormally,
decrease pressure immediately. If
the bit stops abruptly or becomes
blocked, release the trigger at once.
Reverse the direction to free the drill
bit.
Ensure the safety of the workplace.
Clear the work area of all parts and
debris that may cause injury by flying
objects. Securely fix the object to be
drilled or fastened in a vise or other-
wise clamp to avoid injury. Do not
attempt to hold workpiece by hand.
Inspect the drill before use. Run the drill
before using to ensure all parts are
running smoothly and there are no
abnormal sounds or sparks. If any
defect is found, have unit serviced.
Match your speed to your torque. Use
low torque and high speeds for bor-
ing through light materials. Use low
torque and low speeds for driving
screws into light materials. For the
highest setting, combine a low speed
with the “Drill Bit” symbol on the
Torque Setting Ring.
Know your worksite. Only drill as deep
as necessary. Check behind walls
for wires, other electrical hazards, or
plumbing.
Use accessories properly. Use the low-
est possible torque setting when dri-
ving fasteners. This will increase the
life span of the driving bit and pre-
vent damage to the fastener.
