Operation

Charging the battery

Remove the battery from the drill by pressing the release button. Place the charger on a table near a power outlet and insert the battery. Connect the charger to the mains. A red and green light will indicate charging. Once fully charged, the green light remains on and the red light turns off.

Chuck adjustment

To open the chuck, hold the rear part and rotate the front part counter-clockwise. Insert the tool, then rotate the front part clockwise to tighten, ensuring the jaws grip the tool evenly.

Torque and impact settings

The torque control (18+1 positions) allows for precise screw driving. Use low values for small screws and soft materials, and high values for large screws and hard materials. Start at the lowest setting and increase until the desired torque is reached.

On/Off

Press the trigger switch to start the drill. The pressure applied determines the speed. Release the trigger to stop. Use the forward/reverse switch to change rotation direction. Set to the neutral (middle) position when not in use to prevent accidental starting.

Usage

Screwing

Drill a pilot hole before driving screws into wood to prevent surface damage. Use low speeds for better control.

Drilling

Do not use torque control for drilling. Use wood bits for wood, and metal bits for metal or plastic. Use high speeds for soft wood and low speeds for hard wood.

Maintenance and storage

Clean the tool after every use with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or solvents. Regularly check for wear and tear. If the tool is damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service center. Store in a dry place away from heat sources and out of reach of children.

Troubleshooting

• Product won't start: Check power connection, check cable/plug, or consult an electrician.
• Low performance: Ensure the extension cable is suitable, check power supply voltage, and clean air vents.
• Unsatisfactory results: Replace worn or damaged drill bits; ensure the bit is suitable for the material.
• Excessive vibration or noise: Replace worn bits and tighten any loose screws or nuts.
