Safety Warnings

General Power Tool Safety: Always keep the work area clean and well-lit. Do not operate in explosive atmospheres. Keep children and bystanders away. Ensure the tool switch is in the off position before connecting to a power source or battery pack. Always wear personal protective equipment, including eye protection.

Battery Tool Use and Care: Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. When not in use, keep battery packs away from metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, or screws to prevent short-circuiting.

Charging

Before using the tool, charge the battery. Connect the charger to a power outlet; the pilot lamp will blink in red. Insert the battery into the charger. Charging begins automatically, and the pilot lamp will light continuously in red. When fully charged, the pilot lamp will blink in red. If the lamp blinks at different intervals, refer to the troubleshooting table in the manual.

Operation

Ensure the battery is properly inserted. Adjust the tightening torque using the clutch dial. Select the appropriate drill or impact position. Use the shift knob to change rotational speed. Always ensure the switch is off before changing speeds to avoid gear damage. When using as an impact drill, always use clockwise rotation.

Maintenance and Inspection

Regularly inspect the tool for dullness, as this reduces efficiency and can cause motor malfunction. Periodically check all mounting screws to ensure they are tight. Keep the motor winding clean and free from oil or water. Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water; do not use chloric solvents, gasoline, or paint thinner.

Storage and Disposal

Store the tool in a place where the temperature is less than 40°C and out of the reach of children. Ensure the battery is fully charged before long-term storage. Dispose of electric tools in accordance with local environmental regulations; do not dispose of them with household waste.
