OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 intelli-
gently 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.
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 screwdriver bits
with this drill driver
To remove the chuck:
• Hold the Quick-Release Collar (2) and move towards the
Chuck (1) then, holding both together, 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 Adjust-
ment Collar (3) to secure the chuck. Check the chuck
is secure by holding only the chuck and lightly trying to
pull the chuck 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
To maximise battery life:
• Store and charge your battery in a cool area. Tempera-
tures above or below normal room temperature will
reduce battery life
• Do Not 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 if left fully discharged for a long period
of time
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 whilst 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 that it is positioned
centrally by running the tool. The bit should rotate
smoothly without uneven rotation. If the bit is not cen-
tral, 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 rotate the chuck clockwise, push the forward/reverse
selector to the left
• To rotate the chuck anti-clockwise, push the forward/
reverse selector to the right
• When the forward/reverse selector is in the central
position, the tool is locked
• Do not attempt to move the forward/reverse selector
when the tool is running
