							SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.Service or
maintenance by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury. 
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when perform-
ing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.Contact
with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS DRILL / DRIVERS
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool.Use a
dust mask or respirator for applications which generate dust. 
Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to the spinning chuck or
drill bit. Your hand may be lacerated or may cause injury.
Secure the material being worked on. Never hold it in your hand or across
your legs. Unstable support can cause loss of control and injury.
Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool or side handle and
walls or posts.Should the socket or bit become bound in the work, the 
reaction torque of the tool could crush your hand or leg.
Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the
Cordless Drill before switching the tool “ON”.Keys or wrenches can fly away
at high velocity striking you or a bystander.
When using the Cordless Drill, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with both
hands.
Keep the handle of the Cordless Drill dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Do not run the Cordless Drill while carrying it at your side.A spinning 
socket or bit could become entangled with clothing and injury may result.
Disconnect the plug or remove the battery pack from tool and place the switch
in the locked or “OFF” position before making any assembly adjustments,
changing accessories, performing any inspection, maintenance or cleaning
procedures. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool “ON”.A wrench or a
key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper foot-
ing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safe-
ty shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a 
stable platform.Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”.A tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or “OFF” posi-
tion before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like:
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause sparks, burns or a fire.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using.Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model.Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury
when used on another tool.

							BATTERY
Before using battery pack, please read carefully all instruc-
tions and cautionarymarkings on battery pack, battery
charger and product using battery.
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely dam-
aged or is completely worn out.The battery pack can explode.
Do not carry battery packs in aprons, pockets, or tool
boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose metal objects.Battery
pack terminals could be short circuited causing damage to the battery pack,
severe burns or fire.
The battery pack is Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) and is considered to be a toxic
material by the Environmental Protection Agency.Before disposing of dam-
aged or worn out Ni-Cad battery packs, check with your State Environmental
Protection Agency to find out about special restrictions on the disposal of these
battery packs, take them to your local recycling center for proper disposal, or
call 1-800-822-8837.
The battery is not fully charged. Before first use, the battery pack requires 
3-5 hours charge time to be fully charged. Subsequent recharging needs 1 hour
for the battery to be fully charged.

Severe heat is most destructive to a battery; the more heat generated, the faster
the battery loses power. A battery that gets too hot can have a shortened life. 
Never over-discharge a battery by using the tool even after tool performance
has decreased.Do not attempt to discharge a tool’s battery by continuing to
pull on the tool trigger. When tool performance begins to diminish, stop the tool
and recharge the battery for optimal performance.
Charge battery pack at ambient temperatures between 50° F – 104° F. 
Store tool and battery pack in locations where temperatures will not exceed
120°F. This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
The battery pack should always be recharged when the Cordless Drill begins to
run slowly. 
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects such as
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can

							CHARGING BATTERY PACK
CHARGE BATTERY PACK:
1. Plug the charger into 
the nearest 120 volt 
electrical outlet.
2. Make sure the trigger 
on the Cordless Drill 
is in the “OFF”
position and remove 
the battery pack from 
the Cordless Drill.
3. Insert the battery pack
into the charger. Be sure
that the battery pack is
fully seated in the charger. 
Do not force. 
4. The red indicator light should come “ON”indicating that the battery pack is in
a “Fast Charge” mode. If the green indicator light comes “ON”, then the battery
is already fully charged.
5. After approximately one hour of charging, the red indicator light should go
“OFF” and the green light should come “ON” indicating that the battery is fully
charged and the charger is now in a “Trickle Charge” mode.
6. The battery can be left in a “Trickle Charge” mode until ready to use.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES
When using your Cordless Drill continuously, the batteries in your battery pack 
will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool down for approximately 
30 minutes before attempting to recharge. When the battery pack becomes 
discharged and is hot, the red light on the charger will flash. When the battery 
pack cools down, the red light will glow continuously to indicate fast charging
mode, 1-hour charge time.
This will occur when continuous use of your Cordless
Drill causes the battery pack to become hot. It does not occur under normal
circumstances.

							• Never try to start a stalled Drill by clicking the trigger switch “ON”and “OFF”.
This may damage your tool.
• To reduce jamming, always keep the Drill running when pulling the bit out of a 
finished hole.
SCREWDRIVING:
• Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
• If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small amount of washing liquid or
soap as a lubricant.
• Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line with the screw.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Always remove the battery pack before attempting
cleaning or maintenance.
This Cordless Drill is lubricated before it leaves the 
factory. This lubrication should last for the life of the tool. No further 
lubrication is required.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool.Never let any liquid get
inside the casing. Never immerse any part of the tool in a liquid. Always keep the
ventilation openings clear.
Always clean the battery pack using only a dry cloth. Do not use liquids. 
Always unplug the charger before cleaning it.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool and charger using only a soft
brush or dry cloth.
Never open the Cordless Drill case, battery pack or charger.Do not attempt to
repair the Cordless Drill, battery pack or charger yourself. Opening any of these
parts will void your warranty.
DRILLING METAL
WHEN DRILLING HARD METALS:
• Apply a lubricant, such as cutting oil, to the tip of the bit.
• Start with a small hole then enlarge to the required size. Make sure the bit is 
actually cutting and not spinning in the hole as this will dull the edges of the bit.
• Keep enough pressure on the bit to keep it drilling through the material.DRILLING MASONRY
WHEN DRILLING MASONRY:
• Masonry can be brittle so be careful not to apply too much pressure and crack 
the material.
• Apply enough pressure to keep the bit cutting and not spinning in the hole as this
will dull the edges of the bit.
• Bricks and similar soft materials will require less pressure, concrete will require
much more.DRILLING WOOD
Use twist bits to drill holes in wood. Make sure the bits are sharp. Pull the bits 
out of the hole frequently to clear chips from the flutes as an overburdened bit 
may overheat. 
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
DRILLING:
• Keep the right amount of pressure in a straight line with the drill bit. Too little and
the bit will spin without cutting, too much and the motor may stall.
• Just before the drill tip breaks though the other side of the work piece drill more
slowly and decrease pressure on the tool. This will prevent stalling and leave a
cleaner hole.
• Use a block of wood to back up work pieces that may splinter.
• Use spade bits when drilling large diameter holes in wood.
• Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.
• Use masonry bits when drilling in soft masonry.
• Use a lubricant when drilling metals other than cast iron, aluminum, copper, 
and brass.
• When drilling, start the hole slowly, allowing the bit to drill deep enough to prevent
slipping at higher speeds.
