Battery & Charging

The battery is shipped in a low charge condition and requires charging before use. The tool is compatible with the Ozito Power X Change range.

Charging Procedure:

1. Connect the charger to a mains power outlet.
2. Align the raised ribs on the battery with the recess in the charger and slide it on.
3. The charger LED will indicate the status:

• GREEN (Flashing): Stand By (no battery inserted).
• RED (Flashing): Battery is charging (low charge).
• RED (Illuminated): Battery is charging (mid charge).
• GREEN (Illuminated): Battery is fully charged.
• BOTH (Illuminated): Battery too hot or too cold.
• BOTH (Flashing): Defective battery.

Battery Installation

To install the battery, slide it into the drill base until it clicks into place. To remove, hold down the battery release button and slide the battery out.

Operation

Keyless Chuck: To install a drill bit, rotate the chuck collar anti-clockwise to open, insert the bit, and tighten by turning clockwise. Always ensure the bit is centered.

Controls:

• Forward/Reverse Lever: Push left for forward rotation, right for reverse.
• Variable Speed Trigger: Squeeze to start; the more it is depressed, the faster the drill rotates.
• Speed Control: Use the gear selector to choose between first gear (slower, higher torque) or second gear (faster, lower torque).

Functions

Turn the function collar to align the arrow with the desired icon:

• Drilling: For wood, metal, or plastic.
• Screwdriving: For driving screws; use the torque collar to adjust torque settings.
• Hammer Drilling: For concrete, brick, or masonry.

Helpful Tips

Drilling to a Preset Depth: Wrap a piece of masking tape around the drill bit at the desired depth to act as a visual guide.

Torque Settings: Start with a low torque setting when driving screws to prevent damage, increasing as necessary.

Maintenance

• Store in a dry, frost-free location out of reach of children.
• Keep ventilation slots clean; use a cloth or compressed air.
• Do not use solvents for cleaning.

Troubleshooting

• LED lights do not illuminate on charger: Check power connection and battery seating.
• Short run time: Ensure the battery is properly charged; it may take 4-5 cycles to reach optimum performance.
• Trigger locked: Ensure the forward/reverse lever is fully pushed to one side.
• Stripping screw head: Use a lower torque setting and hold the drill securely.
• Drill cut out: Battery may be depleted; recharge for 3-5 hours.
