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-

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, sander or
jig saw. Do not apply excessive
pressure to the tool while using. If
the speed drops abnormally,
decrease pressure immediately.
When drilling, if the bit stops abrupt-
ly 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
worked on in a vise or otherwise
clamp to avoid injury. Do not attempt
to hold workpiece by hand.
Inspect the cordless tool before use.
Run the tool 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 drill speed to your torque.
Use low torque and high speeds for
boring 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 work site. Take care to make
sure the material being worked on is
not supporting another structure, or
that there are no obstructions.
Before drilling or sawing. check
behind walls for wires, other electri-
cal 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.
